Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #379: Favorite photos of 2025

I think I took some very good photos last year, and I am quite happy to post them again. I'll start with my very favorites, the best ones I took last year. I think they would make good postcards. They are boats at the Everett Marina, which I took after dark in November. There was …

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 …

Friday Funnies, Halloween in Aiken edition

We just returned from our trip to the Carolinas. On our last day, our friend took us for a pleasant walk through downtown Aiken, SC. The day was sunny and warm, and it was pretty quiet on the main drag, with its angle-parking (free!), and little shops and restaurants. Wall paintings, downtown Aiken It seems …

Friday Funnies (?). The DemocRats in memes.

And conservatives have quickly been flooding that social media with memes (since leftists have no sense of humor, memes are beyond them). Here are some good ones. Please be reminded that DemocRats support Antifa and …
