This week, Tina has sent us on a guided treasure hunt, with a list of subjects to capture with our cameras. I think I can find them all. Here we go! First on the list is A Pet. My readers will all know that I have a profusion of photos of our pet (owner), Kikyo …

At age 73, I still don't think of myself as "over the hill". However, I have taken some hills in my long life. Here in Western Washington, we are hemmed in by the Cascade Mountains to the East, and we cross them often. On the way to Stevens Pass, the road winds by Mount Index. …

I don't have much of a garden, since I'm not much into yard work. But I do have a couple of plants that add some color to the front and back yards. In 2000, when I bought my house, my real estate agent bought me an azalea plant, which I added to the front yard. …

My readers will know that I am opposed to the government's insistence that we all drive electric cars, for reasons discussed in many previous posts here.

We live in a part of the world that normally is deficient in sunshine. In fact, we in the Pacific Northwest are the home of the syndrome Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which means that in the winter with mostly-cloudy skies all the time, it can get depressing. And the treatment? UV light, or artificial sun. …
