On my Photos on my iMac, I have an album entitled Spring. After autumn, spring is my favorite season, especially here in the Pacific Northwest, where winter is often gray and depressing. In my backyard, the first sign of spring is the little scrawny hydrangea I planted, getting its first leaves. Last year, I took …

I'm no professional photographer at all, but I do love to snap pictures with my iPhone camera everywhere I go. My most common subject is landscapes, with a preference for rolling hills, mountains, and water. Now, the last week of February, we flew down to Indian Wells, California, for a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar, …

For me, finding peaceful places always seems to include water. Maybe it's because I grew up surrounded by bodies of water in the Seattle area. Wherever we travel, we like to check out local lakes and rivers. And when we are on a cruise ship, my favorite activity is sitting out on our stateroom balcony, …

I spend a lot of time alone these days, and I have no problem with that. I get up early, long before my husband, and get ready to go to work. But first, I have to satisfy the furry animal who waits outside the bedroom door, meowing for her breakfast. In the evenings, when Hubby …

Taken at a vacant piece of land, not too far from my home. I wonder what caused this place to be so desolate. Hardin, Montana. Here's the Link to Terri's original post.
Unlike Tina, we had no problems with Covid restrictions last year, so we traveled when and where we wanted to. In April we drove to Colorado and back for a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar. It was a wonderful springtime trip, and we traversed numerous mountain ranges on the way, starting with the Cascades in …

With 2022 coming to an end, I guess it's time to look back at what we captured on the digital equivalent of film. With the vast majority of my photos taken with my always-ready iPhone 13 Pro, that's a lot of photos! I'm going to start in the very near past, and work backwards. Today, …

Before I went on a cruise across the North Pacific Ocean, I had never seen water this blue. I don't think there's a better illustration of the cobalt blue that Terri asked for, do you? What about the evening sky, just outside my front door? Looks cobalt to me. Cobalt blue flowers, in a pot …

I'm always on the lookout for patterns in the natural, and man-made world around me. And I am always thankful for my trusty iPhone 13 Pro which is always with me to capture intriguing patterns, since you can never know when something will catch the eye. Yesterday afternoon, I had a bit of shopping to …
