I'm definitely not a professional photographer, so none of my photos have been published, except right here on my blog. And it's really hard to choose favorites, since everything I post here is a memory, and brings back to life places I've been. My first favorite photo is especially meaningful, since I took it on …

Welllll... Let's see what we can come up with with the final letter L. How about some Seagulls? This guy really just posed for me. My favorite-waterfall. They are in New York, Olympia, Washington, and Snoqualmie, Washington. How about a mural, or two? They are in North Bend, Washington, and Hilo, Hawaii. There is a …

In my back yard, I have a little hydrangea bush. Here are three photos of my plant in three different stages of flowering. Emerging, on July 7. Still emerging, on July 17. And today, in full bloom. Here's the Link to Cee's FOTD post for today.
Since we have been married (2003), Hubby and I have taken five big road-trips. In 2006, I played with my local orchestra at Carnegie Hall in New York (summers there have slots open for student and amateur orchestras to play for the local audience-our concert got standing ovations). After the concert, we rented a car …
Unlike Tina, I don't have access to Photoshop or any photo-editing program except for what comes with the Mac OS in Photos. I did have some fun with a photo I took yesterday, in a walk through a forest preserve. I tried to make it somewhat sinister. At a local park by a lake, I …

Red is my favorite color. In fact, I finally got the chance to have a red house! In our complex, with its detached condos, we get re-painted every five years or so, and we were up last year. I finally got the "barn red" I've always wanted, and we get lots of compliments. It sure …

Double trouble. Double indemnity. Double-cross. My photos for "seeing double" aren't all reflections, but they are all double. How about this formidable pair of musicians, the Eyer Sisters? Both young ladies are excellent musicians, and they stole the show at the Accordion Celebration this year. On my outings to the new Waterfront Place development on …

It's beach season again (but you wouldn't know it from the weather in Everett today, which is cool and drizzly). We are extremely fortunate here to have a plethora of beaches available to us within an hour or two drive. If you asked us, our most favorite beach is the Dungeness Spit National Wildlife Refuge …
I appreciate this week's challenge topic, because I have been prompted in more ways than one to be grateful for all the treasures that make life in our America wonderful. It would be so easy to wallow in misery at all the country's problems, but we definitely need to step back and appreciate what we …
