An afternoon at The Fair
On Friday, September 9, Hubby and I again went to the Washington State Fair in Puyallup (in Pierce County). This year's fair was much freer than last year's, when masks were required even outdoors!

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #214: Favorite Finds
To start with, these favorite finds are all from this month of August, 2022. I have a great liking for clouds, and I keep an album on my computer of just cloud photos. I was impressed with these wispy clouds around Colonial Peak in the North Cascades, when we visited the Diablo Lake Overlook on …

Photo of the Day. Cooling off.
This paddle-board was spotted in late July on Beaver Lake near Bellevue, Washington. It's the first time I had ever seen three on one board. Priceless, don't you agree?
