When I'm out with my camera, I like pointing it up at the sky. Sometimes I find interesting shapes. This one is on the outside of the building where I work. It's the top of the ladder to the roof, but seen against a blue sky, it's art. Then, at night, in Arizona, again pointing …

The fact that cloud formations are by their nature temporary makes you appreciate them more. How often have you looked up at spectacular clouds, and had to keep watching as they scud across the sky at the mercy of winds on high? Our skies out here in Western Washington State are often gray, but there …
This piece of building, obviously in ruins now, was the beginning of a breakthrough that formed the beginnings of Gothic architecture. Want to see the rest of this very old building? Here it is. You can see the tracery wall in the middle front of the medieval castle. A peek into history. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/peek/
This is the view from the deck of our vacation house in Bigfork, Montana, on September 7, the day after we got there from Washington. You can't see much, due to the smoke from the terrible wildfires, that closed Glacier National Park, and prevented our group from doing most outdoor activities. And on September 10, …
The Grand Canyon dwarfs the people in this picture. Those cliffs are very high, and you wouldn't want to fall into the canyon. But if you see the Grand Canyon from an airplane, it looks pretty small. And those people would totally disappear. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/scale-2/
Hubby and I spent the afternoon yesterday in the town of Port Townsend, on the Olympic Peninsula, collecting on the last of the Jazz package we bought at an auction (dinner at the Hanazono Asian Noodle House). Before dinner, we walked up what seemed like 1,000 steps to check out the Uptown neighborhood. Walking down …
I have gotten pretty good at taking photos from the passenger-side windows of our car. On our way to Montana and back, I shot these photos from the moving vehicle-I really wanted my friends to see what the air quality was, as a result of the wildfires in Montana and Eastern Washington. This was just …

At least, that's how I thought of it at the time, and for a long time thereafter. The year was 1971. I had just graduated from Washington State University with a degree in Psychology. I had applied to graduate school, and had been accepted at the University of Minnesota. So, how was I supposed to …
Hubby and I spent the week after Labor Day in Bigfork, Montana, at a Ricochet meet up that had been planned for over a year. There was no way we could have predicted that most of Washington, Idaho, and Montana would be shrouded in smoke from multiple wildfires in Eastern Washington and Montana. When we …
Back in March, Hubby and I attended the After Midnight Gala auction for the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra, a wonderful jazz Big Band. At that auction, we bought a weekend package that included two nights of lodging, and tickets to Friday and Saturday concerts, the weekend of July 31. Port Townsend is across Puget Sound …
