Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #212: Motion

So much of what we see around us is in motion, especially outdoors. If there is any wind at all, all the plants are in continuous motion. Birds on the wing are some of my favorite subjects to capture with me cameras; both my Canon point-and-shoot camera, and the excellent cameras on my iPhone 13 …

CBWC: Busy, but with a Purpose

All the houses in our detached-condo neighborhood have received new roofs in the past year.  This week, the last homes are getting their new tops.  The roofers had to take a week off, because the temperatures were in the 90s, but they were finishing up the job this week. The truck delivering materials to the …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #210: My Three Favorites

I'm definitely not a professional photographer, so none of my photos have been published, except right here on my blog.  And it's really hard to choose favorites, since everything I post here is a memory, and brings back to life places I've been. My first favorite photo is especially meaningful, since I took it on …

Sunday Stills: Going on a Road Trip!

Since we have been married (2003), Hubby and I have taken five big road-trips.  In 2006, I played with my local orchestra at Carnegie Hall in New York (summers there have slots open for student and amateur orchestras to play for the local audience-our concert got standing ovations).  After the concert, we rented a car …

Washington State Pastoral-a break from all the ugliness

With Antifa and Insane abortion promoters firebombing women' clinics; perverts celebrating their perversion in the streets of many cities, and Supreme Court Justices being threatened with death, I thought I'd try to add some beauty to take your mind off all the filth.  Below are some photographs of my state, Washington's rural areas, whose natural …

CFFC: Landscapes and Waterscapes

What do you think of when someone says landscape?  The wide-open spaces of the prairie?  Big mountain ranges in the distance?  And what is a waterscape?  The ocean?  A winding river?  How about all of the above! Just last Sunday, we drove home from Leavenworth on US Highway 2.  It was a beautiful day, and …

CFFC: Vehicle Details

First, let's define "vehicle".  Did you know that the derivation of the word "Vehicle" comes from the Latin word for "to carry"?  So, a vehicle doesn't have to have wheels, or be propelled by an outside force.  It just has to carry something or someone.  I spent ten years as a hospital pharmacy technician in …

Are you worried about high gas prices?

The header photo shows the level of gasoline prices in my neighborhood of Western Washington.  Our Dictator has said nothing about the high prices, probably because he is happy with them.  He thinks that, the higher the price of gas goes, the more of his subjects will buy expensive electric cars.  And he is happy …

CMMC: Midweek Madness. Letter “H”

In my life, the most important thing that starts with the letter "H" is Hillsdale.  Ever since we found out about the College in Michigan, which teaches Classical values, Western Civilization, and the Liberal Arts, my husband and I have been big supporters of the small school which accepts NOT ONE PENNY of government money, …

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 …
