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 do remember doing that challenge, shortly after WordPress stopped sponsoring them. 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 …

I'm the world's biggest klutz, so I don't engage in many sports myself, but I have no problem watching, especially when the sport is squash. Hubby is a competitive squash player, and together we have been to many tournaments since we met in 2001. The farthest away we have been for a tournament is Vancouver, …

Well, since just this week I posted some photos from this year's Bellevue Arts and Crafts Fair, I guess I need to find some others for this post! Hubby and I always go the Washington State Fair, and I am always a picture-taking fool when we go (especially since I got my first smartphone and …

This week's theme really made me happy, since I am always on the lookout for photos incorporating all those elements. In fact, I happened to be getting a pedicure with my best friend at our local nail salon, and right in front of me, there were two great examples! First, there was a three-section screen …
