This is the beautiful bouquet of flowers my husband had for me when I got home from work yesterday. He said he chose something that would look nice on my desk, and it really does! Aren't they gorgeous? Here's a link to Cee's Original Post.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #186: Low Light
Since most of my photos these days are taken with my iPhone 13 Pro, I am quite proud of how well it takes photos in low-light conditions. However, even my old iPhone XR took excellent low-light pictures. Last year, on July 4, we went to downtown Bellevue to watch the fireworks (that had been canceled …

Terri’s Sunday Stills Challenge: Amethyst foretells Spring
I'm very fond of purple, and have clothing and jewelry I love that are purple. But I didn't think I'd have any purple living things in my photos. But I was wrong! Growing right in my own backyard, I have this little hydrangea. It's a small bush right now, but I expect it to grow …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #185: Change
My backyard changes rather dramatically with the seasons. For the past three or four years, we have had snow every winter. I have to say, I really love what the snow does with the various features in the yard. The heap in the front is our birdbath, with an ornamental grass plant, and a concrete …
Sunday Stills: Am I a #Bird Feeder?
Let's see, am I a Bird Feeder? The photos and video below should give the answer. Pine Siskin. Downy Woodpecker. Blurry since I took the picture through a glass door. Red-breasted Nuthatch. Various birds at the seed and suet feeders, in the snow. Red-shafted Flicker. Top: Townsend's Warbler. This is one of my very favorite …
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #184: What travel has taught me
What travel has mostly taught me is that people are people everywhere and always. And that we don't live in the only beautiful region of our country. Everywhere we have traveled has shown us that God has bestowed upon us a spectacular planet, with an infinite variety of landscapes and features. For the past two …

Sunday Stills: The Power of the #Elements
I love this topic! I often post photos of the power of Nature, and we have lots of those elements right here in the Pacific Northwest. My very favorite subject is Snoqualmie Falls, which is just a half-hour drive from our home. We go there often, just to stand behind the chain-link fence and view …
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #183: Memorable events
I don't know of a more memorable event in my long life than the eruption of the Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii, that we saw from the deck of the cruise ship Crystal Symphony in the summer of 2018. The volcano had been erupting for a few weeks before we got there in mid-July, and we …

Sunday Stills Challenge: It’s a Wild(life) world
Yep, right here in my back yard in the middle of suburbia, we have a sort of wildlife sanctuary, and neighborhood birds and animals visit every day. Now, we don't get much that's really exotic, though neighbors have seen a coyote, raccoons, and even a black bear. Our furry and feathered friends seem to like …

Cee’s Bloganuary: My favorite photos I’ve ever taken
I had to give this one some serious thought, but in the end it had to be this one. Think of a photograph as a "captured moment" in time, one that will never occur again. I think that this photo is the most unusual and fortuitous of any picture I have taken, before or since. …
