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?
Photo of the Day
This is Chesterfield Beach. Yep, concrete steps are what passes for a "beach" at Chesterfield Beach Park in Bellevue, Washington. A boat out on the lake made waves, splashing against the concrete steps.

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 …
