Living in the Pacific Northwest, we have lots of shorelines within a few minutes, or hours drive. And we have lakes and rivers, which also have shorelines, along with the oceans. The shoreline closest to me is along Silver Lake. This was early in the morning on my way to work. About 50% of the …

Way back in the 1970s, a favorite phrase describing something you liked was "Cool, man!" Living in a place with abundant bodies of water, and the nickname of "Evergreen State", you'd think that cool colors would be everywhere. You would be correct!

This is the time of year when emptiness can predominate. All the leaves have fallen off the deciduous trees, leaving their branches empty. But still beautiful. In the autumn, most beaches are empty of people, since the vacationers are gone. We were fortunate to visit Cape May, on the Jersey Shore, in October, when the …

I used to pooh-pooh all the people who are constantly using their phones to capture …

I am at the stage in my life (age 67) where New Years resolutions don't fit. This year, I have something wonderful to look forward to for the next few years-Liberty! With a new Republican Administration taking over in January, instead of worrying constantly about the tightening of the strait-jacket of Government constantly hemming in …
