Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #215: Planes, Trains, Automobiles and ?

Ooh, this is going to be fun!  I have been a transportation buff since the mid-1980s, when I spent a year as an apprentice to a transportation consultant.  Whenever I see a train, I try to watch it until it is out of sight.  Living in the Pacific Northwest surrounded by bodies of water, we …

Quote of the day: Dangerous Water

Water is everywhere.  If you turn the tap in your kitchen or bathroom, what flows out of the faucet is drinkable water (at least in most places).  City water all over America is normally inexpensive and available for people and animals to drink.  Depending on where you are, the tap water may be "hard" or …

RushBabe49 can now be found on some Social Media

I have stated before, many times, that I stay off the "legacy" social media, like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest.  All of those sites are run by the most evil Leftists, and actively censor viewpoints they deem "misinformation" or "hate speech", both of which concepts are very misleading. However, in the past couple of years, …

53 years ago today, America landed a man on the Moon

On July 20, 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong was the first human being to set foot on our huge satellite, the Moon.  It was perhaps the most momentous achievement of Humanity, and to this day it has never been duplicated.  I think that every American should give a rousing cheer for America, and its space …

The multi-billion-dollar Webb Space Telescope, showing us our Universe

Much has been made, in the press, about the huge cost overruns on the Webb Space Telescope project. It's time now to ignore all the cost overruns, and see the result of decades of scientific work by NASA and its private-sector partners.  Today, the first images taken by the Webb telescope in its orbit around …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #201: Three of a Kind

In our yard, we have some Japanese Maple trees.  The one that came first, when I bought my house in June of 2000, started out small.  When we got married and my husband moved in with me in 2003, he dubbed it "Fluffy".  Here is Fluffy in three seasons. In Spring and Summer, its leaves …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #199: Mechanical, Industrial

Working in a factory gives me access to industrial and mechanical items all day long, and ever since I started there in July of 2021, I have marveled at the beauty of the items manufactured, and even the scrap material.  Every so often, I need to stop by the tool room to pick up some …

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, …

Unintended (?) consequences of the Left’s environmental movement

The Leftists of the world think that humans are destroying the planet.  They firmly believe that human-generated "greenhouse gases" have been causing the climate to get warmer for decades, and they believe that, unless the world essentially ceases to emit such gases from activities such as driving cars and trucks fueled by gasoline, and heating …

About Hillary Clinton…

This week, Special Counsel John Durham dropped some very interesting information about the activities of the Clinton presidential campaign of 2016.  It turns out that the Clinton campaign, beyond paying for the notorious "Steele Dossier", was outright spying on the Trump Campaign, and even on the President in the White House.  Clinton's minions paid hackers …
