CFFC: Straight Lines
Cee's Fun Foto Challenge for this week is "Straight Lines", and have I got a treat for my readers! Let's get started with a contrast between man-made, and natural lines. As I've stated here before, Nature does not do straight lines of any kind. Natural systems do not line up in neat rows or columns, …
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #198: Light and Shadow
I love photographing shadows. Sometimes they are more photogenic than the subject! Just now, in fact, I happened to look over the railing on the second floor of our house, and this is what I saw. Just west of our houses there is a green-space with lots of big cedar trees. The shadow in this …

Sunday Stills Monthly Color Challenge: #Teal or #Aqua
As usual, my favorite example of a natural Teal coloring is Diablo Lake in the North Cascades. There is a beautiful overlook mini-park just east of the town of Newhalem, and Hubby and I go there a couple of times every year. The unusual color of the water is caused by glacial runoff, and the …

Did you know that there’s a Freudian Truck Line?
Well, I didn't either, until we drove up behind one of their trucks on our road trip. How's that for a Freudian name for your trucking company? Superego Holding! For those of you who didn't take Psychology 101 in college, the "Superego", according to Sigmund Freud, is a person's conscience, the part of his mind …

Cee’s FFC: Edges and Ledges
On our recent road voyage to Colorado and back, edges and ledges were everywhere. While waiting for Hubby to bring the car around to load at one of the hotels we stayed at, I happened to glance at the pillar to my right. Now, this pillar is covered on all sides by what is probably …
Covid Madness on our Road Trip
We have just returned from a two-week road trip, which took us through the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado. In none of those states did we encounter a mask mandate. In every state we stopped in, we found some people wearing masks in public (higher percentage in WA than any …
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #196: Humor (Updated)
All these humorous signs were collected on our road trip from Washington State to Colorado and back. In the town of Rock Springs, Wyoming, we found a most unlikely restaurant. A Japanese Steakhouse, called Sapporo. We had an excellent dinner. This guy greeted customers outside. That's my six-foot-tall husband for scale. The sumo wrestler is …

Sunday Stills Challenge: Is #Quartz a girl’s best friend?
I admit to being way behind on my photo challenges, but it's only because Hubby and I have been on a two-week road trip, from which we have just returned. I took so many pictures on that trip that I can do all my challenges from just the photos I took! Now, being born in …

Road Trip Day 3, 3 states
We started out in Idaho, and visited a site my husband was interested in, not far from Twin Falls where we stayed. This particular site represents a sordid part of America’s history, when people of a particular national origin were confined in concentration camps, because of their ancestry. The place was Minidoka, a “relocation camp” …
