Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #229: Perfect Patterns

I'm always on the lookout for patterns in the natural, and man-made world around me.  And I am always thankful for my trusty iPhone 13 Pro which is always with me to capture intriguing patterns, since you can never know when something will catch the eye.  Yesterday afternoon, I had a bit of shopping to …

Seattle is finally, irretrievably lost.

In two stories, I can show you how.  The first story involves a Seattle City Council member, and her decision not to run again in 2023 when her term is up.  Here is the quote from Lisa Herbold.  Emphasis mine. “My choice is because I love and honor the work the progressive left has done …

This morning over breakfast, I looked out the glass door to the backyard, and spotted a couple of our chickadees taking advantage of the suet feeder.  The one on the left is a Chestnut-backed Chickadee; the one on the right is a Black-capped Chickadee. I also managed to capture the one on the left fluttering …

Elon Musk bought Twitter

So, after 12 years of resistance, you can now find RushBabe49  on Twitter.  And I got my first follower already!  I have followed a bunch of British travel accounts, and my normal assortment of conservative pundits.  I also follow a few Harry Potter people, including JK Rowling and Tom Felton, as well as WizardingWorld.  I …
