Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #207: Seeing Double

Double trouble.  Double indemnity.  Double-cross.  My photos for "seeing double" aren't all reflections, but they are all double.  How about this formidable pair of musicians, the Eyer Sisters? Both young ladies are excellent musicians, and they stole the show at the Accordion Celebration this year. On my outings to the new Waterfront Place development on …

Biden bestowed the highest civilian honor on an anti-police homosexual activist

...who just so happens to lead the US Women's Soccer (socialist sport) Team, which has done much better than the men.  Megan Rapinoe is a smart-ass who has no compunctions about trashing police and her own country.  She is thoroughly undeserving of the high honor of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and over at RedState.com, …

And …

Sunday Stills: To the Beach!

It's beach season again (but you wouldn't know it from the weather in Everett today, which is cool and drizzly).  We are extremely fortunate here to have a plethora of beaches available to us within an hour or two drive.  If you asked us, our most favorite beach is the Dungeness Spit National Wildlife Refuge …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Treasures

I appreciate this week's challenge topic, because I have been prompted in more ways than one to be grateful for all the treasures that make life in our America wonderful.  It would be so easy to wallow in misery at all the country's problems, but we definitely need to step back and appreciate what we …
