My first entry for this week's challenge tells a sad story, one that is still being written all over the world. Each one of those empty, surplus chairs from June of 2020 was from the desk of a person, an employee who contributed to the success of an aerospace manufacturer. Every empty chair represents an …

If I am not mistaken, there are two S's in Tennessee. We flew there in April of this year to attend a Hillsdale College seminar, and a Ricochet meetup with our internet friends we hadn't met yet. Below are some pictures I took of places we went in Tennessee. This is the landscape of the …

So, what motivated my friend Cee to choose reflections and shadows for this week's fun challenge? I see, she fell right into my hands... Reflections and shadows are some of my very favorite photographic subjects! Bodies of water are excellent for reflections, aren't they? Especially if the water is flat, mirror-like. The waters of Silver …

My header photo this week seems perfect for the topic, doesn't it? I took it with my phone, from my chair at the nail spa where I get my monthly pedicures. Once every month, I get to have someone else do my tootsies, and I get to just relax and feel pampered. It's also a …

I just found out, from my friend Cee Neuner, about Terri's Sunday Stills Challenge. Whee! Terri lives in Eastern Washington, and I live in Western Washington, so we get some of the same weather, and wildlife, and plants. Below is a fun photo that I took yesterday in my back yard. It looks like this …

When the Original Designer finds a scheme that is simple, elegant, and effective, He tends to employ that design across species and materials. That Original Design is "branching". This is the scheme used in the …

I am sort of an architecture buff. I love taking pictures of unusual buildings, especially those from the Art Nouveau or Art Deco periods of the 20th Century. But I keep my eyes open wherever I am, and that has enabled me to photograph a number of interesting buildings. This is the modern A T …

Since my weeks lately have been consumed by work, this week's challenge will be only one photo. I get to work at 7:00AM, and this morning I noticed the moon in the sky above the building where I work. I pointed my new iPhone 13 Pro, and let it take the picture. The photo has …

Lately, a lot of weird and wonderful things keep popping out around me. When Hubby and I walked over to Costco, six blocks away, a few weeks ago to get a hot dog for lunch, I spotted a large fungus growing in the beauty-bark by the sidewalk. I have no idea what it really is, …

This past couple of weeks, I have had occasion to observe two examples of an ancient plant that is still around here on Earth. The only species of its genus still existing, the Ginkgo tree has been around for over 290 Million Years! Just think, dinosaurs roamed among these unusual trees. I saw the first …
