Our neighbor, dropping by to take a drink from our bird-bath. We are having a heat wave right now, and I keep it full for everyone.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #212: Motion
So much of what we see around us is in motion, especially outdoors. If there is any wind at all, all the plants are in continuous motion. Birds on the wing are some of my favorite subjects to capture with me cameras; both my Canon point-and-shoot camera, and the excellent cameras on my iPhone 13 …
Favorite Destination-the beauty of the North Cascades
About two hours northeast of our home in Everett, Washington, is the North Cascades National Park. The last town before the park is the "company town" of Newhalem, which is basically owned by Seattle City Light. Seattle gets a large portion of its electric power from the dams on the Skagit River, within the National …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #211: My Photographic “Groove”
I gave this one a lot of thought. I'm a rank amateur, and I mostly take photos and video with my iPhone. I looked back at what subjects I most like to photograph, and that mean the most to me. I decided that waterfalls and fountains are among my most favorite subjects. I believe that …

CBWC: Busy, but with a Purpose
All the houses in our detached-condo neighborhood have received new roofs in the past year. This week, the last homes are getting their new tops. The roofers had to take a week off, because the temperatures were in the 90s, but they were finishing up the job this week. The truck delivering materials to the …

Picnic dinner at Silver Lake Park
On July 28, I packed a picnic dinner, and went down to Silver Lake Park to watch the kids and the ducks and geese swim. It was a beautiful, warm evening. The kids were having lots of fun diving off the dock and yelling. There were people out on their paddle-boards too. And the ducks …
Terri’s Sunday Stills Challenge. Dessert? or Desert? Or both?
I checked, and I can't find any place where dessert and desert happen at the same time. So I thought I'd highlight a little of both. Multiple times, we have gone to Arizona for Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminars. Of course, much of the state is desert, so it's really simple to take photos of …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #210: My Three Favorites
I'm definitely not a professional photographer, so none of my photos have been published, except right here on my blog. And it's really hard to choose favorites, since everything I post here is a memory, and brings back to life places I've been. My first favorite photo is especially meaningful, since I took it on …

CMMC: July letter, “L” at the end of the word
Welllll... Let's see what we can come up with with the final letter L. How about some Seagulls? This guy really just posed for me. My favorite-waterfall. They are in New York, Olympia, Washington, and Snoqualmie, Washington. How about a mural, or two? They are in North Bend, Washington, and Hilo, Hawaii. There is a …
