Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #243: It’s Tricky

April Fools!  April 1 is the day of the year for playing pranks.  Or maybe finding things in real life that just look like pranks.  I got such a kick out of this "pranky" sign in front of a business in Wyoming! I can just hear it now.  "Honey, I crashed the truck".  "You did …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #240: The Photo Road Most Traveled

I'm no professional photographer at all, but I do love to snap pictures with my iPhone camera everywhere I go.  My most common subject is landscapes, with a preference for rolling hills, mountains, and water.  Now, the last week of February, we flew down to Indian Wells, California, for a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar, …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #239: Finding Peace

For me, finding peaceful places always seems to include water.  Maybe it's because I grew up surrounded by bodies of water in the Seattle area.  Wherever we travel, we like to check out local lakes and rivers.  And when we are on a cruise ship, my favorite activity is sitting out on our stateroom balcony, …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #238: Alone Time

I spend a lot of time alone these days, and I have no problem with that.  I get up early, long before my husband, and get ready to go to work.  But first, I have to satisfy the furry animal who waits outside the bedroom door, meowing for her breakfast. In the evenings, when Hubby …

A little jaunt to the Palm Springs area

Until this week, I had never been to Palm Springs, California.  My parents used to go there every winter for a few years, but that wasn't until I was an adult, an I never had a reason to go there before.  This week, Hubby and I hopped a plane and went down to a Hillsdale …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #234: Messages

In Japan, the word Kanban means "sign", and those companies who use the Toyota Production System of just-in-time inventory control see and use a lot of Kanbans.  I just started a new job at a Japanese-owned company, and I saw a sign in the Ladies restroom which I had not ever seen before.  It took …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #231: Favorite Photos of 2022

Unlike Tina, we had no problems with Covid restrictions last year, so we traveled when and where we wanted to.  In April we drove to Colorado and back for a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar.  It was a wonderful springtime trip, and we traversed numerous mountain ranges on the way, starting with the Cascades in …

Good Riddance to 2022, Year-end Review

I thought that 2021 was the worst year, the first of the reign of the dementia-plagued, America-hating, lying Joe Biden.  But I was wrong. 2022 turned out to be as bad, or worse.  It is depressing, knowing that the elites who run our formerly-strong and free country are doing their best to tear it down. …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #230: Last chance for 2022

With 2022 coming to an end, I guess it's time to look back at what we captured on the digital equivalent of film.  With the vast majority of my photos taken with my always-ready iPhone 13 Pro, that's a lot of photos!  I'm going to start in the very near past, and work backwards. Today, …
