Yay! It’s Black Cat Appreciation Day!

It's the week of Halloween, and it's time to appreciate our mini-panthers, our black cats who rule us, sit and purr in our laps, and shed black cat hair all over the house. I have had a black cat in my home for the last about 30 years (not the same one!). Our home would …

So here are some real and cartoon black cats who have crossed my path lately. Of course, the most important black cat in my life is the one who rules the roost at our house, and has both Hubby and me wrapped around her furry paw. The Lady Kikyo. She is 15 years old now, …

I must be getting old. I keep forgetting to do a post on the Bellevue Arts & Crafts Fair.

So here it is. Normally the last weekend in July, the Fair takes up a large portion of the Bellevue Square parking garage, and sometimes parking lots on surrounding streets. In its heyday, it ran 11 hours a day, with hundreds of booths. It was sponsored by the Bellevue Art Museum, and included an art …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #359: Tools of Photo Composition: Line, Color, Pattern

This week's theme really made me happy, since I am always on the lookout for photos incorporating all those elements. In fact, I happened to be getting a pedicure with my best friend at our local nail salon, and right in front of me, there were two great examples! First, there was a three-section screen …

On Western Civilization

For the past 60 years, the Left has controlled public education and the legacy media. They have been indoctrinating children (schools) and adults (media), to believe that all cultures are equal, and that Western countries and cultures have been oppressing the rest of the world for centuries. So let’s take a look at some manifestations …

On X, they call it a Timeline Cleanse, a post lacking politics, or anything containing fear or unhappiness. Beauty and culture to show the treasures of Western Civilization.

No one should ever lose sight of the manifest benefits that western culture has bestowed upon the world, no matter how much the Left attempts to denigrate or dismantle it. Parents, be sure to show your children the very best of Western Civilization. https://twitter.com/jscotteswood/status/1944946200542593024?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ The Renaissance https://twitter.com/archi_tradition/status/1945140945516654659?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Homes, and defensive fortresses. 14th Century coaching inn. …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #324: In The Details

This week's topic is right up my alley. To start with, my favorite styles of architecture are Art Nouveau and Art Deco, both from the early to mid-20th Century. Both styles involve decorated buildings, with all sorts of frilly details, very unlike more-modern buildings which have no decoration at all (and are quite boring to …
