I spend a lot of time alone these days, and I have no problem with that. I get up early, long before my husband, and get ready to go to work. But first, I have to satisfy the furry animal who waits outside the bedroom door, meowing for her breakfast. In the evenings, when Hubby …

I have a few favorite trails, here in beautiful Western Washington State. The nearest, and probably least-known, is the Narbeck Wetland Trail, which is right across a major thoroughfare from the biggest building (by square footage) in Washington, an aerospace factory. The trail winds through wetland ponds (when there's not a drought-this year was very …
It's beach season again (but you wouldn't know it from the weather in Everett today, which is cool and drizzly). We are extremely fortunate here to have a plethora of beaches available to us within an hour or two drive. If you asked us, our most favorite beach is the Dungeness Spit National Wildlife Refuge …
I live in Western Washington, basically surrounded by water on every side. Silver Lake is our local watery spot. I really wish there were a walking path all the way around, but much of the lake shore is in private hands, so the path only goes around the east and north sides of the lake. …

Thanks very much to Sofia, who echoes what I always tell my friends, photographers or not. I make a habit of looking up, wherever I am. Most people, when they are in a city, walk or drive along looking forward, or down at their phones (which is dangerous!). I suggest that they take their eyes …

When I go for a walk in a scenic location (or even just around my neighborhood), I try to pay attention to my surroundings. I live six blocks away from my local Costco store, so if I just want to pick up a prescription, I walk there and back. [let me put in a pitch …

Sometimes, you just have to see life in black and white. Most of the time, there are myriad colors all around you, so you can get jaded. I am in no way any kind of professional photographer, and these days most of the pictures I take are with my iPhone. So the pictures for this …

I guess I'd have to say I've always been a lazy photographer. When I was married to my first husband, who was an excellent photographer, besides being an engineer; I had an SLR film camera (this was back in the olden days before digital photography), but I had trouble mastering all its ins and outs, …

When I see a road, I usually wonder where it leads. On our travels in the Pacific Northwest, Hubby and I pass many freeway turnoffs with roads down which we have never traveled. On the way to Mount Vernon, there is a freeway exit marked "Starbird Road", and I have always been intrigued by the …

Others have mentioned that life is fragile. This blogger begs to differ. On our Planet Earth, not only is Life not fragile, there is no niche anywhere on Earth that is not occupied by some form of Life. Living things have been found from the deepest deep-sea trenches under the oceans, to the volcanic craters …
