This week, our friend Tina is running things, and she asks us to slightly alter the photographic "Rule of Thirds" which divides the space into thirds, both vertically and horizontally. Instead, she asks us for a subject containing three elements. Three's a crowd? Let's see. In the above photo, there are just three spectators in …

Well, this challenge has a condition, only six images allowed. I choose green, which has never really been my favorite color. I gave it some thought, and it's not the color green that I don't like, it's just particular shades. I don't like Kelly green, or chartreuse. But I do live mint-green, and my favorite …

This is last week's challenge, so I'm late. But I love watching for texture in my environment. I am a "touchy" person, and have to feel something before I fully understand it. When buying clothing online, I have to know the composition of fabric, since how it feels and drapes is VERY important to me. …
Living in an area basically surrounded by water leaves lots of room for "on the water" photos! In response to one of Tina's photos, this one is a favorite. The Water is the Victoria BC Inner Harbour, and these are three of their cute water taxis that ply their way around the harbor, shuttling tourists …

This week, my friend at Journeys With Johnbo challenges us to show photos of historical sites and sights! We like to visit places with historical significance, and my trusty phone camera helps there, since it's always with me. In 2022, on our road trip to Colorado, Hubby wanted to stop in Idaho, and visit the …

Since all of my photos these days are taken with my iPhone 15 Pro, it's pretty easy for me to find them to post! Since it's April, and the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival is in progress, I thought I'd start with this one from 2023. The Skagit Valley of Washington is the second-largest provider of …

I learned that "shapes" are what are found in Nature; "designs" are what humans make, often mimicking that Nature. "I think that I shall never see a Poem as lovely as a Tree" is a little snippet of poetry that I'll bet every school child learns (author is Joyce Kilmer, who was male-yeah, I never …

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 …
