When he checked, he found a litter of kittens whose mom had disappeared. It took a while, but he eventually caught all the kittens and brought them down from the …

Lens-Artist Photo Challenge #397: Texture

This is last week's challenge, so I'm late. But I love watching for texture in my environment. I am a "touchy" person, and have to feel something before I fully understand it. When buying clothing online, I have to know the composition of fabric, since how it feels and drapes is VERY important to me. …

The Artemis astronauts sent back still photos and video from their trip around the Moon and back. Here are some.

Scenes from Rural Michigan, in the Snow

Last week, we were in Hillsdale, Michigan, in the south central part of the state. It is a relatively poor region, with no big cities, mostly small to medium-sized towns.
