Fall colors are still around in my neighborhood.

I feared that the recent winds would have brought down all the colorful leaves from the trees around here. But, happily, I was wrong! Yesterday I took a short walk around my house and found some bright colors still hanging around (literally!). Let’s start with our own backyard. We have three Japanese maple trees, which …

It was my lucky day-Mother Nature smiled.

Over the weekend, I was driving around doing errands in the lousy weather, when I noticed a beautiful photo just waiting for me to capture it. When I returned, I discovered that it lacked one feature that is very important to a photographer: Vantage point. The nearest parking place was a considerable distance away, and …

The Left is despicable. We are not the same.

This is now a battle of Good versus Evil. We have political opponents. They have Enemies. We sit and talk out our issues. They assassinate their enemies. We grieve. They celebrate the murder of their enemies, online, on social media, and on signs and t-shirts. Evil, right here We lower the temperature. They issue death …

This is Western Civilization

Since it’s been around 2,000 years, which is a long time, let’s take a look at more of the products of the culture of the West. https://twitter.com/atticuuuss/status/1961478343720669255?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ One of the greatest artists who ever lived https://twitter.com/biancodavinci/status/1961495811361022223?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Cathedrals could take hundreds of years to build https://twitter.com/biancodavinci/status/1961536838126252217?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Art Nouveau often features natural forms https://twitter.com/nouveaudeco/status/1960265275384750376?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Whoa! https://twitter.com/leodavinciwave/status/1961055798244815052?s=12 That’s …

A little something good from Washington State, for a change. Beauty in the Skagit Valley.

Earlier this week, Hubby and I had a little getaway to LaConner, situated on the Swinomish Channel. It’s a long tidal channel northwest of Seattle. On the West side of the Channel is the Swinomish Indian Reservation, and on the West side is the picturesque town of LaConner. We go there often, as it’s only …

Today is Black Cat Appreciation Day

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, …

So, Readers, what do you think of this sentiment?

This X post is somewhat self-explanatory. None of the commenters disagreed with the author. https://twitter.com/thekentacorn/status/1952056077102743884?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Notice the 970 likes. Fifteen comments. All favorable. Am I the only one who thinks that this statement is just plain wrong? The author is human too, and runs a project preserving oak woodlands in Britain. I follow him. If …

May I introduce gifted artist Gemma Matthews from England

Her medium is embroidery, but with an added enhancement. All of her work is done entirely freehand, from her own designs, with NO pattern. None. Take a look at some of her work, and tell me that she is an exceptional artist and designer. https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1946493837263724725?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1943241387815637055?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Breathtaking! https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1938901834745168224?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Mind-blowing! https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1936144529330938180?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1934953513366569397?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Joyful relaxation https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1933533528987480153?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Lovely …

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 …
