Another in the Elements series. If these photos aren't Fire, I don't know what is. This is Earth's Primordial Fire, the eruption of the Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii in July of 2018. This lava formed in the literal fires at the center of our planet, and the movements of the tectonic …
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 …
Cee wanted "all one color", so I looked in my archives and came up with these. A whole wall of autumn-red ivy, seen at a big local shopping mall. Shades of silver/gray. The water reflects the gray skies, and the ship is its own shade of dark gray. The deep blue Pacific Ocean off Hawaii. …

When you live in the Pacific Northwest, you can be "on the water" in moments, from most places. We have the Pacific Ocean, Puget Sound, and numerous lakes and rivers within a short drive. Silver Lake is less than five minutes from my house, and I never get tired of taking pictures of it. Its …

This week, a Ricochet friend did a post, that referenced the song above. For young people who don't know it, here is my favorite version, by Judy Collins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8L1UngfqojI Boy, does this bring back memories of my childhood, when I was in college in the far-away 1970s. But I really have looked at clouds from …
Flight means different things to different people, and it can signify many modes of travel. But it's always travel. Both my husband and I worked in the aerospace industry, before we lost our jobs to the government shutdowns last year. He worked for "big airframer company" for 40 years. When a brand new model was …

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, …

I'm not a professional photographer, and I've never been to exotic foreign lands. But I am an amateur bird-watcher, starting in my own backyard. I am often to be found in our kitchen, peering out the sliding glass door, watching to see who shows up at our two bird-feeders (one seed feeder and a suet-feeder). …
For this week, bloggers pick one or more of the following words, to illustrate with their photos. The words are: Growing, Crowded, Tangled, Exuberant, and Comfortable. I think I can find at least one photo that illustrates each word for the week. Let's start with Comfortable. People who are owned by a cat know that …
The same Sun shines on us all. Everyone on Planet Earth gets their sustenance from the same Sun. That Sun shines over Alaska, as well as over the Hawaiian Islands. I spent two years in Minneapolis in grad school, and I especially appreciated that sunshine in Winter, when it was bitter cold. In 2016, Hubby …
