The theme this week is "you choose", so in this era of fear, loathing, pestilence, and tyranny, I choose to go through the archives and find pictures of winter wonderlands I have seen. One benefit of a blanket of snow over the world is the muffled silence it brings. Fewer vehicles are on the streets, …

In this year of government oppression of the people of our country, sometimes it's hard to find anything to celebrate. I remember March of 2020, when the government locked down society (except for what it deemed "essential" activities). The weekend after the lockdown started, I decided to celebrate my independence, and refusal to accept government …

Cee wanted "all one color", so I looked in my archives and came up with these. A whole wall of autumn-red ivy, seen at a big local shopping mall. Shades of silver/gray. The water reflects the gray skies, and the ship is its own shade of dark gray. The deep blue Pacific Ocean off Hawaii. …

My first entry for this week's challenge tells a sad story, one that is still being written all over the world. Each one of those empty, surplus chairs from June of 2020 was from the desk of a person, an employee who contributed to the success of an aerospace manufacturer. Every empty chair represents an …

If I am not mistaken, there are two S's in Tennessee. We flew there in April of this year to attend a Hillsdale College seminar, and a Ricochet meetup with our internet friends we hadn't met yet. Below are some pictures I took of places we went in Tennessee. This is the landscape of the …

This week, I want to start with a design in Nature that is ubiquitous, among things animate and inanimate. When the Original Designer finds a scheme that is simple, elegant, and effective, He tends to employ that design across species and materials. That Original Design is "branching". This is the scheme used in the …

I am sort of an architecture buff. I love taking pictures of unusual buildings, especially those from the Art Nouveau or Art Deco periods of the 20th Century. But I keep my eyes open wherever I am, and that has enabled me to photograph a number of interesting buildings. This is the modern A T …

Lately, a lot of weird and wonderful things keep popping out around me. When Hubby and I walked over to Costco, six blocks away, a few weeks ago to get a hot dog for lunch, I spotted a large fungus growing in the beauty-bark by the sidewalk. I have no idea what it really is, …

When Cee Neuner put this challenge up, these trees we saw in Maui immediately came to mind. If you're not careful, they'll get ya! The park had a bunch of big banyan trees that just twisted all over the place. Speaking of getting gotten, you don't normally think of cactus as being long and squiggly, …

When my Hubby told me he wanted to drive up to the town of North Bend (Washington), in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, I jumped at the chance. He had told me about an event going on that involved various blues bands playing at assorted cafes in town-you would buy one ticket for the …
