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 …

This week, I want to start with a design in Nature that is ubiquitous, among things animate and inanimate. 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 …
When Cee Neuner put this challenge up, these trees we saw in Maui immediately came to mind. If you're not careful, they'll get ya! The park had a bunch of big banyan trees that just twisted all over the place. Speaking of getting gotten, you don't normally think of cactus as being long and squiggly, …

When my Hubby told me he wanted to drive up to the town of North Bend (Washington), in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, I jumped at the chance. He had told me about an event going on that involved various blues bands playing at assorted cafes in town-you would buy one ticket for the …

Nature does not do anything in straight lines. No natural feature of the landscape, or living thing on Earth has straight lines. Only we humans make straight lines. A Rabbi friend of mine says that human beings are like pebbles, and not like bricks. Pebbles have rounded outlines, and protuberances everywhere. You cannot categorize pebbles-each …
I learned a long time ago to pay attention to even the ordinary objects around me, which can become extraordinary if you photograph them the right way. Even a russet potato looks interesting, with the brightly-colored background. When Hubby and I were in Michigan last month, we had meals in a big dining-room, with many …
