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 …

A Guaranteed Smile. Who can resist a darling baby?
This little person is a new member of our family. She certainly can make all the women smile! She is the center of attention wherever she goes, and inspires smiles and coos. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/smile/
Sunset…An End, and a Beginning
The evening of the first day of our cruise to Alaska aboard the Crystal Serenity was beautiful, and clear. The ship left Vancouver BC just as the sun was setting. We stood at the rail of the Promenade Deck and watched for long minutes, as the sun set over the channel. We knew when we …
A Favorite Place, any time of year
About 35 miles north of our town of Everett, Washington, may be found the Skagit River Valley. The Skagit Valley has some of the most fertile soil in the United States, and its farmers supply animal feed, corn, potatoes, vegetables, and flower bulbs locally and around the world. The entire month of April is the …
Photo Challenge~~~I’d Rather Be…
So here I am, at my desk, doing our TAXES, for heaven's sake! Yeah, it's that time of year. But I'd really rather be here: On the balcony of our stateroom, on the cruise ship, to Hawaii. With my nose in a good book, and a nice glass of wine. Just relaxing and watching and …
Out of This World Photo Challenge
The ice looks like it is trying to take over the land, slithering down from its peak, blue fingers searching for the best channel. And when the mini-glacier grows up, he looks like this: https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/out-of-this-world/
