When I tried to pull into a parking space at a grocery store, I found it already occupied. I gave up the space to the Ducks.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #248: Mood
There is a place not too far from where I live, which immediately conveyed a mood. It is a large parcel of land that, at some time in its history, was flooded. The entire parcel is still mostly under the water, and is filled with dead trees. This place says "desolation" and "despair" to me. …
Wednesday walk in the woods
Yesterday I took a break at work, and went for a walk in the wooded area on the south side of the business park. Here are photos. The path in front of me The path behind me Big log covered with moss We live in an old temperate rain forest, so most trees get a …
Sunday Stills on Tuesday: #Roadside Views
This will just be a quickie. On Sunday, as it happens, we took a little road trip up US Highway 20 to North Cascades National Park. It's still pretty early in the year, and the highway isn't fully open yet. But it was open as far as our favorite destination, the Diablo Lake Overlook. We …
Tiptoe Through The Tulips
Yes, it's that time of year again. The entire month of April is the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. Due to the onerous Health Nazis instilling fear in the population, the Festival was canceled in 2020 and 2021, regardless of the fact that the festivities are all outdoors. This year, Mother Nature was not very cooperative, …
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #246: Still Life
Thanks to my iPhone 13 Pro, I am now always ready with a camera, when a likely subject comes into view. It's fun to capture scenes that seem to just have been waiting for me to come along and capture them. I got this one at my local outlet mall. The display of old sewing …

On this side of the Cascades, it's often wet and rainy, with gray cloudy skies for most of the fall and winter. Eastern Washington is much drier, with brown, rolling hills. Eastern Washington grows wheat, hops, and, increasingly, …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #244: Glowing Moments
Let There Be Light. And there was light. There is a reason God created light first. Nothing lives totally without light, and photographers care most about how a subject is lighted. These two trees were lighted from below. Sometimes you just get lucky, as I was one evening when we arrived home from a short …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #243: It’s Tricky
April Fools! April 1 is the day of the year for playing pranks. Or maybe finding things in real life that just look like pranks. I got such a kick out of this "pranky" sign in front of a business in Wyoming! I can just hear it now. "Honey, I crashed the truck". "You did …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #241: Spring has Sprung!
On my Photos on my iMac, I have an album entitled Spring. After autumn, spring is my favorite season, especially here in the Pacific Northwest, where winter is often gray and depressing. In my backyard, the first sign of spring is the little scrawny hydrangea I planted, getting its first leaves. Last year, I took …
