The Belly of the Beast is the capitol of Washington State, Olympia. We drove down there yesterday so we could sign a couple of petitions, one for voter ID in Washington, and the other to repeal the new "Millionaires Tax" which is an income tax. Lots of nice people were at the signing-we were lucky …
I just learned today about Caesar Rodney. It seems that he had his own "Midnight Ride" for the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Caesar Rodney was born October 7, 1728 on a sprawling farm in Kent County, Delaware. After losing his father in his youth, Rodney inherited wealth and responsibility that he used for …

This week, our friend Tina is running things, and she asks us to slightly alter the photographic "Rule of Thirds" which divides the space into thirds, both vertically and horizontally. Instead, she asks us for a subject containing three elements. Three's a crowd? Let's see. In the above photo, there are just three spectators in …

Well, this challenge has a condition, only six images allowed. I choose green, which has never really been my favorite color. I gave it some thought, and it's not the color green that I don't like, it's just particular shades. I don't like Kelly green, or chartreuse. But I do live mint-green, and my favorite …

Just recently, the Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, and his wife and NINE CHILDREN, as publicity for the 250th, undertook, with corporate sponsorship, a Great American Road Trip, documenting it for a documentary film to be available on YouTube for free. As expected, the legacy media and the rest of the Angry Left are screaming …

Both these videos demonstrate the wonder of Nature. Both involve water. Enjoy. https://twitter.com/marionawfal/status/2055697584979861560?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Majestic https://twitter.com/maniaufo/status/2055525765823726005?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ What might the first Indians to see this phenomenon have thought? The Sun God did it?
This Sound Transit commercial is set to be released this week. For those not resident in Washington State, Sound Transit is the quasi-public agency which builds and runs the Western Washington bus and rail transit systems that run from Snohomish to Pierce Counties on the West side of the Cascade Mountains. Their head honcho, who …

Living in an area basically surrounded by water leaves lots of room for "on the water" photos! In response to one of Tina's photos, this one is a favorite. The Water is the Victoria BC Inner Harbour, and these are three of their cute water taxis that ply their way around the harbor, shuttling tourists …

Have Dementors taken over my state of Washington? It certainly is depressing, reading news stories of taxpayer money thrown away with both hands; big companies that have been here for decades announcing moves to other states; local restaurants, individual and chains, closing down for good; illegal aliens being treated better than taxpaying citizens; heavily-taxed roads …
This week, my friend at Journeys With Johnbo challenges us to show photos of historical sites and sights! We like to visit places with historical significance, and my trusty phone camera helps there, since it's always with me. In 2022, on our road trip to Colorado, Hubby wanted to stop in Idaho, and visit the …
