Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #173: Interesting Architecture
I am sort of an architecture buff. I love taking pictures of unusual buildings, especially those from the Art Nouveau or Art Deco periods of the 20th Century. But I keep my eyes open wherever I am, and that has enabled me to photograph a number of interesting buildings. This is the modern A T …

Fallen Leaves, harbinger of winter approaching
The pear tree in front of our house turns beautiful shades of red and purple, each autumn. The leaves ripple, creating not only color interest, but appealing shapes, both before and after they drop from the branches, to the ground underneath. When I arrived home after work today, I took some pictures. And closer up... …

One-photo Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #172-A day in my week
Since my weeks lately have been consumed by work, this week's challenge will be only one photo. I get to work at 7:00AM, and this morning I noticed the moon in the sky above the building where I work. I pointed my new iPhone 13 Pro, and let it take the picture. The photo has …

Happy Cat Day! And Happy Halloween! Twofer!
I understand that it's both National Cat Day, and the weekend of Halloween. So I decided to celebrate both holidays with pictures of our Halloween Black Cat, Kikyo.

Autumn Colors at Our House
We live in the Pacific Northwest, not normally a big place to see fall colors, since we have more evergreen trees than deciduous ones. But right here at our house, our trees are showing some interesting color patterns this year. We have a pear tree in front of the front door. It leans slightly, due …
FOTD-Cee’s Flower of the Day challenge
This past couple of weeks, I have had occasion to observe two examples of an ancient plant that is still around here on Earth. The only species of its genus still existing, the Ginkgo tree has been around for over 290 Million Years! Just think, dinosaurs roamed among these unusual trees. I saw the first …
A poignant Japanese meal
We went to Izumi Japanese restaurant for an excellent meal, before the onerous King County vaccination mandate took effect.
Twisted or Squiggly: CFFC (Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge)
When Cee Neuner put this challenge up, these trees we saw in Maui immediately came to mind. If you're not careful, they'll get ya! The park had a bunch of big banyan trees that just twisted all over the place. Speaking of getting gotten, you don't normally think of cactus as being long and squiggly, …
