Sunday Stills: #Those fleeting moments in life

I have managed to capture many of life's fleeting moments in my backyard, with my iPhone 13 Pro.  What has more fleeting moments than most?  That would be birds.  Every moment is fleeting for them, and they do not concentrate on any one activity for more than a moment, because they always have to keep …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #221: Favorite Flowers

Like Tina, I am no flower expert, so I often don't know what a flower is called when I see it.  But I always try to get photos of new flowers, and new versions of old ones.  I think that my very favorite flower is the azalea that my real estate agent gave me for …

Sunday Stills-Monthly Color Challenge:# Lava

First, let me offer condolences to Terri on the loss of her beloved dog, Aero.  It's hard to lose a pet whom you have loved for a long time. Since I don't have a dog, I will stick with Lava this week.  Terri informs us that she was in Hawaii in 2018, and so were …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #220: One subject, three ways

Whenever I am photographing something I like, I always take multiple shots from different angles and distances.  A pleasing subject is often pleasing in numerous ways.  Take the beautiful vase of flowers my husband sent me for Valentine's Day this year.  It had so many different flowers, different colors, and different angles, I just had …

Sunday Stills: Dilapidated, desolate places and things

Maybe it's only me, but I seem to see a lot of news stories about bad things happening to people in cities recently.  Like the street crime in Chicago and New York City; homeless drug addicts attacking walkers on Venice Beach in California; and AntiFa attacking drivers stopped at traffic lights in Portland, Oregon. Aside …

This week, Tina has sent us on a guided treasure hunt, with a list of subjects to capture with our cameras.  I think I can find them all.  Here we go! First on the list is A Pet.  My readers will all know that I have a profusion of photos of our pet (owner), Kikyo …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #218: Over the Hill

At age 73, I still don't think of myself as "over the hill".  However, I have taken some hills in my long life.  Here in Western Washington, we are hemmed in by the Cascade Mountains to the East, and we cross them often.  On the way to Stevens Pass, the road winds by Mount Index. …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #217: Opposites

For some reason, I'm feeling very oppositional today.  And I caught all these opposites on our shopping trip this afternoon!  My readers will know that I am opposed to the government's insistence that we all drive electric cars, for reasons discussed in many previous posts here.  I happen to live in a far-left-environmental-wacko area of …

#Wordless Wednesday: Smokey and the ??

Since our local smoke is gone, the following photos are from our trip to Montana and back in September of 2017.  Glacier Park was closed, and fires were burning within a few miles of our vacation cabin. Lake Coeur D'Alene from I-90. Spokane Valley from I-90 View across the street from our cabin in Bigfork, …
