I have always been fond of black and white photos, since they can imply age as well as simplicity. There are a number of photos in my library that look like black-and-white, even when they are in color! This is the street where I live. I think this rose actually looks better in black-and-white than …

I think I took some very good photos last year, and I am quite happy to post them again. I'll start with my very favorites, the best ones I took last year. I think they would make good postcards. They are boats at the Everett Marina, which I took after dark in November. There was …

As per the rules, this last challenge is supposed to be photos we have not posted before. Like Tina, many of my photos are plants and critters, from my back yard first, then other places. We are fortunate to have a yard with plants that turn gorgeous colors in Autumn, especially our Japanese Maple trees. …

Hubby and I went out for dinner tonight, at a place near the Everett Marina. On the way in, I noticed that some of the boats near the restaurant had already put up Christmas lights on their masts and around their edges. So I told him that we should stop on the way home and …

I love Transportation, in all its forms. It started with my summer job when I was in college, working in the Traffic Department (in charge of shipping and receiving) at the Ford Motor Company Seattle Parts Depot in south Seattle. I worked there three years in a row, and I loved learning about the modes …

I understand that we have to keep our photos to only six, so I am going to try using ones that I have not used before. I'm pretty sure that landscape photos can be taken from any vantage point that's not a closeup, …

Well, Tina has chosen the perfect season for this topic, things that don't last! Changing skies and fall colors definitely are ephemeral! In my back yard, I have three Japanese Maple trees. Starting in mid-October, their foliage goes through two transitions, sometimes almost overnight. They start out green, and gradually turn from maroon to bright …

This has been a God-awful week, and we are definitely in need of quiet moments, which are often found outdoors in nature. This week, I visited a park by the Snohomish River just north of my town. It was a very pleasant afternoon, sunny and warm, and I arrived late in the day. Much to …

This week's subject is a trip through the Archives, to find photos on a number of themes. We were given the instruction to choose as many as 10 different themes, and find a photo that expresses it. Boy, that was a hard choice, as there were so many good ones to choose from. For my …
