I am an "essential worker" at my aerospace company (at least until May 29, when I retire), and my days begin at 0510 when my alarm clock rings (really my iPod playing Wildwood Flower). So I mostly go to work in the dark, until just lately. I captured this sunrise picture on my way in …

Lens-Artists Challenge #92-Second Time Around (or more)
Thanks to Tina Schell for passing along this challenge. Since the majority of us are "sheltering in place" and not traveling, we pretty much have to post photos of places we've already visited. One of our favorite places is the Diablo Lake Overlook, on the North Cascades Highway, east of Newhalem, Washington. Hubby and I …

Sigh…Final Photo Challenge…All-time Favorites
I am SO sad that the Photo Challenge by the editors at WordPress is ending. It gave me something to look forward to each week, and a reason to mine my photos for just the right picture. And it's so difficult to find the all-time favorite. But, since it has to be done, I did …

Strange Beauty-Twisted, yet Supporting Life
A couple of miles south of my house, next to a Les Schwab Tire Center, is a small wetland, populated by mostly dead trees. I have always wondered what that piece of property started out as, and how it got to be the way it is now. Last week, I took my camera and got …

Photo Challenge: Liquid
I practically live surrounded by water. Last week I shared a picture of the lake just south of my house. Puget Sound is just a few miles to the west, and Lake Washington is to the East and South. Back in 2016, we went on a cruise to Alaska, and I posted numerous photos of …
My Little Corner of the World-Photo Challenge
I was born and raised, and still live, in the Puget Sound area of Washington State, 20 miles north of the People's Republic (?) of Seattle. These photos were all taken within a 60-mile radius of home. Silver Lake, about two miles south of my house in Everett. I don't think there's any more beautiful …

In keeping with the Cat theme for this week’s Photo Challenge…
Here's another unlikely place for a cat. There is no good spot for her to stand to jump up on top of the door. But she got there. Sorry for the poor picture quality-I took this with my iPod camera. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/unlikely/
Photo Challenge: Lines, by Man and by Nature
When I took this picture of the forward passenger deck of the Washington State Ferry Puyallup, the lines just drew me in. Curved lines, straight lines, against the horizon line in the distance. And then there are the lines created in the sky by Nature-clouds which you would normally think of as curved line up …

Photo Challenge..Prolific Singers and Musicians
Every year on the day after Christmas, the University Unitarian Church in Seattle puts on a full-length Handel's Messiah Sing-along/Play-along. They do the full Messiah, all the arias, all the choruses, and all the recitatives; not a note is left out. Everyone sings everything that is within his or her vocal range-no soloists. You may …
