With all the gloom and doom, and BS going around these days, it's time for something sunny and optimistic. Let's search the archives for some sunny photos. A sunny day along the Clark Fork River in Montana. The sunny side of the street, in Cape May, New Jersey. The late-afternoon sunny beach at Deception Pass. …
Red is my favorite color. In fact, I finally got the chance to have a red house! In our complex, with its detached condos, we get re-painted every five years or so, and we were up last year. I finally got the "barn red" I've always wanted, and we get lots of compliments. It sure …

Double trouble. Double indemnity. Double-cross. My photos for "seeing double" aren't all reflections, but they are all double. How about this formidable pair of musicians, the Eyer Sisters? Both young ladies are excellent musicians, and they stole the show at the Accordion Celebration this year. On my outings to the new Waterfront Place development on …

As we have done in previous years, Hubby and I packed the picnic dinner, new chairs, and blanket, and headed over to Bellevue to watch the fireworks. Unlike last year, this year's crowd was back to normal, filling the lawn at the Bellevue Downtown Park with picnic blankets, chairs, coolers, and even some shelters. And …

It's beach season again (but you wouldn't know it from the weather in Everett today, which is cool and drizzly). We are extremely fortunate here to have a plethora of beaches available to us within an hour or two drive. If you asked us, our most favorite beach is the Dungeness Spit National Wildlife Refuge …
I appreciate this week's challenge topic, because I have been prompted in more ways than one to be grateful for all the treasures that make life in our America wonderful. It would be so easy to wallow in misery at all the country's problems, but we definitely need to step back and appreciate what we …
I've traveled to cities large and small, old and new, in my 73 years. In all of my travels, my very favorite city is an old one, a college town in England that has been settled for around 2,000 years. I first went there in 1984 with my first husband. We liked it so much, …

With Antifa and Insane abortion promoters firebombing women' clinics; perverts celebrating their perversion in the streets of many cities, and Supreme Court Justices being threatened with death, I thought I'd try to add some beauty to take your mind off all the filth. Below are some photographs of my state, Washington's rural areas, whose natural …

My first thought upon seeing this week's topic was "I rarely photograph people, so I don't have many faces". However, upon further reflection, it occurred to me that there are a pair of quite striking eyes right in our own house. They belong to our black cat. This photo deserves a caption. Can you suggest …
