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 …
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 …
So it would be just the time to have some black cat fun and raise awareness that black cats are definitely NOT bad luck in any way. They are sometimes neglected at the shelter, due to superstitions that should be put to bed once and for all. In fact, when I open my bedroom door …

I was just outside in my backyard, cleaning and refilling our birdbath and watering the plants. When I was done, I got out my phone, so I could watch the birds and maybe get some photos. I was amply rewarded! The yard was full of Nuthatches, Juncos and some Chickadees, and these photos are taken …

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 …
Well, since just this week I posted some photos from this year's Bellevue Arts and Crafts Fair, I guess I need to find some others for this post! Hubby and I always go the Washington State Fair, and I am always a picture-taking fool when we go (especially since I got my first smartphone and …
