Signs of Spring are everywhere. This is a bush in a planting strip near the building where I work. The flowering pear tree in our front yard. And a cherry tree along the road in Mill Creek, the next town south of our house.

CFFC: Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Fire
Another in the Elements series. If these photos aren't Fire, I don't know what is. This is Earth's Primordial Fire, the eruption of the Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii in July of 2018. This lava formed in the literal fires at the center of our planet, and the movements of the tectonic …
Today’s Cat Stuff
First, a cute cartoon I was sent. Remember, dogs have owners, cats have staff. Next, a video I shot of the resident Owner, better known as Kikyo. I was about to get on my rowing machine for my daily workout, and she let me know she was bored with watching me. Cheers!
No tulips yet, but…
Hubby and I took a little spur-of-the-moment trip up to the Skagit late this afternoon, to see if the tulips were out in all their splendor. It was heavily overcast and threatening rain all afternoon. We saw minimal tulips, but we did see some new sights. Like this field of green veggies. And this really …
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #193: (Re-)Birthdays
I'm privileged to have my birthday in April. I love being a Spring Baby, when the garden wakes up from its winter slumber, leaves and buds show up on our trees, and our chorus frogs begin singing in the holding pond across the street from our house. Last year, I planted a little Hydrangea bush …

Out of Death, Life
This past weekend, my husband and I took a stroll in the Narbeck Wetland Sanctuary, a little oasis of nature directly across a busy street from the huge factory where he used to work. We came upon a tree that had fallen over completely, its base and roots perpendicular to the ground. In the lower …
Terri’s Sunday Stills Challenge: #Urbanity
These days, I live in a suburb. The closest big city is Seattle, 20 miles south of our home in Everett (where the airplanes are made). I was born and raised in Seattle in the 1950's and 1960's, and lived there from the mid-1970's until 1990. I do not recognize the Seattle of my childhood …
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge 192: Earth
I have a bit of a problem with today's topic. It sounds to me a bit like "earth worship". I have always appreciated how God put us on the most beautiful planet known in the Universe. I appreciate how wonderful our planet is, and the fact that we humans are at the top of the …
CFFC: Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Metal
Ooh, I love this week's challenge topic! Right up my alley, as I work in a factory which manufactures aircraft parts out of metals including stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium. My readers will already know that I love to photograph raw materials and metal shavings from the various machines and suppliers around the factory. So, …
Sunday Stills: #Daylight in Black and White
I am just getting used to black and white again, trying to see my color photos that way. There are some scenes that just cry out to be black and white. Like these clouds. I took this photo through the windshield of our car on the highway. Here in the rainy Pacific Northwest, it's often …
