On July 28, I packed a picnic dinner, and went down to Silver Lake Park to watch the kids and the ducks and geese swim. It was a beautiful, warm evening. The kids were having lots of fun diving off the dock and yelling. There were people out on their paddle-boards too. And the ducks …
I checked, and I can't find any place where dessert and desert happen at the same time. So I thought I'd highlight a little of both. Multiple times, we have gone to Arizona for Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminars. Of course, much of the state is desert, so it's really simple to take photos of …

I'm definitely not a professional photographer, so none of my photos have been published, except right here on my blog. And it's really hard to choose favorites, since everything I post here is a memory, and brings back to life places I've been. My first favorite photo is especially meaningful, since I took it on …

Welllll... Let's see what we can come up with with the final letter L. How about some Seagulls? This guy really just posed for me. My favorite-waterfall. They are in New York, Olympia, Washington, and Snoqualmie, Washington. How about a mural, or two? They are in North Bend, Washington, and Hilo, Hawaii. There is a …

In my back yard, I have a little hydrangea bush. Here are three photos of my plant in three different stages of flowering. Emerging, on July 7. Still emerging, on July 17. And today, in full bloom. Here's the Link to Cee's FOTD post for today.
I'm pretty sure that most of my readers, if not all, are going through a heat-wave right about now. You may be wondering how to cool off, when the outside temperature rises into the 90s. So I have gotten together a bunch of photos, of lakes and rivers, to help you get through the sweltering …
Hubby first introduced me to Japanese Anime before we were married, and now I'm hooked too. We watched the entire series of Inu Yasha, where the modern girl Kagome Higurashi time-travels through her grandfather's sacred well, and ends up in the medieval period. She has all sorts of adventures with her dog-half-demon friend Inu Yasha, …

Since we have been married (2003), Hubby and I have taken five big road-trips. In 2006, I played with my local orchestra at Carnegie Hall in New York (summers there have slots open for student and amateur orchestras to play for the local audience-our concert got standing ovations). After the concert, we rented a car …
Unlike Tina, I don't have access to Photoshop or any photo-editing program except for what comes with the Mac OS in Photos. I did have some fun with a photo I took yesterday, in a walk through a forest preserve. I tried to make it somewhat sinister. At a local park by a lake, I …
On July 20, 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong was the first human being to set foot on our huge satellite, the Moon. It was perhaps the most momentous achievement of Humanity, and to this day it has never been duplicated. I think that every American should give a rousing cheer for America, and its space …
