What is an edge? It divides two things, or two places, from each other. Sometimes, it can divide people from each other, too. Like the term "edgy", which has come to mean something that might be too vulgar, or modern, for some people. The "water's edge", or the beach, delineates the land from the water. …

I have always liked to take photos of simple scenes, since I do most of my photography outdoors. On our way out to dinner this evening, I looked up and found the most beautiful sky, covered with the puffy white clouds you often see in stock photos. Right above our heads! And the tree in …

This week's topic is tailor-made for me. On my computer, I have an album dedicated to photos of clouds. Here in the Pacific Northwest, the sky is as apt to be covered with gray clouds all winter, and they are never the same one minute to the next. But when Spring arrives and the gray …

I love this topic! I often post photos of the power of Nature, and we have lots of those elements right here in the Pacific Northwest. My very favorite subject is Snoqualmie Falls, which is just a half-hour drive from our home. We go there often, just to stand behind the chain-link fence and view …
White isn't a color, it's the sum of all colors. These days, white gets the ultimate bad rap, due to the fact of the Black Lives Matter Marxists denigrating all white people, and demanding that they be crushed. But if white is the sum of all colors, shouldn't white be seen as the best? The …
