Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #160: Inspiration
This year, filled with uproar, health crises, heat emergencies, corruption, as well as new friends and places; what has kept me grounded, "my Inspiration", is knowing that I still live in the Greatest Nation on God's Green Earth. The United States of America, and its great history, has been my inspiration. Even when I get …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #152: Shade and Shadow
Shadows are cast by people and things, by the Sun. You often see a person's shadow before you see the person. It's really hard to sneak up on someone in the bright sunshine! How often have you seen something you want to photograph, and there's no place to stand where you do not cast a …

Both ends of …
My Beautiful Pacific Northwest
I was born and raised in Seattle. I have lived all but 2-1/2 years in the Seattle area. We have the world's best climate. Temperate with a Capital T. No scorching hot summers or frigid winters. The Seattle area has the highest concentration of dentists in the US. Why? The University of Washington has a …
Weekly Photo Challenge: States of Mind: in Awe of Nature
I love going to the mountains, God's Big Construction Project (and also destruction project). These mountains, in Zion National Park in Utah, used to be at the bottom of a big shallow sea. Notice the many layers of rock, first deposited over millions of years, then thrust into the sky. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/state-of-mind/
This Land is Your Land
Along with the header picture, here are more photos I took on a trip to the Southwest. These dramatic pictures were all taken in or near National Parks. Don't ever forget that these are YOUR lands, maintained with your taxpayer money. They do not belong to The Government, they belong to You. You can find …
