I don’t understand this. Perhaps readers can help me.

Recently, Rumble.com, where I have a presence to post my videos, changed the way they display creator videos.  In the past, they would show the number of "views", and the number of "rumbles", or "likes".  Now, they not only show you those two measures, they show "dislikes", as in "thumbs down".  Aside from my "RushBabe's …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #186: Low Light

Since most of my photos these days are taken with my iPhone 13 Pro, I am quite proud of how well it takes photos in low-light conditions.  However, even my old iPhone XR took excellent low-light pictures.  Last year, on July 4, we went to downtown Bellevue to watch the fireworks (that had been canceled …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #184: What travel has taught me

What travel has mostly taught me is that people are people everywhere and always.  And that we don't live in the only beautiful region of our country.  Everywhere we have traveled has shown us that God has bestowed upon us a spectacular planet, with an infinite variety of landscapes and features. For the past two …
