Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #323: Sounds of Silence

First off this week, I have to disagree with one of the quotes Tina used in her post (link at the bottom). The quote stated that all noise is "waste". In my opinion, it depends on how you define "noise". Is the soft plashing of a creek considered noise? Or is it a pleasant, relaxing …

Cat stuff, picked up from around the interwebs (hat tip/Viva).

Nothing important, just some humor and cuteness. Starting with a bunch of AI images of our next President, with cats, when we heard about the Haitian criminal migrants eating people’s pet cats.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #256: Kitchen Inspiration

It is sometimes surprising, but you can find beautiful photo subjects in even the most mundane kitchen.  You don't need to have fancy fixtures or gourmet dishes.  One evening, as I was preparing some of the veggies I add to my recipe for Enhanced Sloppy Joes, I noticed how interesting the onion I was slicing …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #248: Mood

There is a place not too far from where I live, which immediately conveyed a mood.  It is a large parcel of land that, at some time in its history, was flooded.  The entire parcel is still mostly under the water, and is filled with dead trees.  This place says "desolation" and "despair" to me. …
