I spend a lot of time alone these days, and I have no problem with that. I get up early, long before my husband, and get ready to go to work. But first, I have to satisfy the furry animal who waits outside the bedroom door, meowing for her breakfast. In the evenings, when Hubby …

Until this week, I had never been to Palm Springs, California. My parents used to go there every winter for a few years, but that wasn't until I was an adult, an I never had a reason to go there before. This week, Hubby and I hopped a plane and went down to a Hillsdale …
I just love what I can do with the photos I take with my iPhone 13 Pro's cameras. It's with me wherever I go, so I'm always ready to spot unexpected photo ops. And post-production on my Mac is really easy, too. Reflections and shadows have always been some of my favorite subjects, and I …

It's that time of year again, for those with cats to put up their tree, while simultaneously trying to find ways to keep the cat (s) from tearing everything down. Different families come up with different ways to do that. We don't have a tree, so we don't have to worry about Kikyo tearing everything …
I love the snow! We had a little yesterday, but it is really coming down today. And our backyard has been hopping with birds all day long. Today, we have seen the following: Varied Thrush, Dark-eyed Junco, Song Sparrow, Rufous-sided Towhee, Common Bushtit, Black-capped Chickadee, and Chestnut-backed Chickadee. This morning, I went outside and stood …
Yesterday afternoon, I had a very pleasant drive up to Arlington, about 15 miles north of my home in Everett, Washington, to visit a cat shelter which I have chosen to support. They were having an open house and adoption event, so I expected to see lots of cats and hopefully kittens. I was definitely …
With 2022 coming to an end, I guess it's time to look back at what we captured on the digital equivalent of film. With the vast majority of my photos taken with my always-ready iPhone 13 Pro, that's a lot of photos! I'm going to start in the very near past, and work backwards. Today, …
