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.

Everyone should be aware of the two huge issues in the news lately. One is the cascade of "worker shortages" everywhere, from local bars and restaurants to big airlines, delivery services, and trucking lines.

Bad news for Facebook is good news for me (and probably for society)
Schadenfreude, anyone? It seems that the Facebook Empire was taken down today, probably by a hacker. From this story on the Fox News web site, all parts of the company, including Facebook, Instagram, and What'sApp, were completely unavailable today, all over the world. Rumors also have it that Facebook employees were prevented from entering their …
