There are numerous posts on X this week, from soccer fans visiting Seattle for the first time. They all rave about Seattle’s natural beauty and the sunny mild weather. Many mention the good food at our many local restaurants. I was born and raised in Seattle, and I never take it for granted. So I …

The Belly of the Beast is the capitol of Washington State, Olympia. We drove down there yesterday so we could sign a couple of petitions, one for voter ID in Washington, and the other to repeal the new "Millionaires Tax" which is an income tax. Lots of nice people were at the signing-we were lucky …
This week, our friend Tina is running things, and she asks us to slightly alter the photographic "Rule of Thirds" which divides the space into thirds, both vertically and horizontally. Instead, she asks us for a subject containing three elements. Three's a crowd? Let's see. In the above photo, there are just three spectators in …

Just recently, the Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, and his wife and NINE CHILDREN, as publicity for the 250th, undertook, with corporate sponsorship, a Great American Road Trip, documenting it for a documentary film to be available on YouTube for free.

Given that Katie Wilson is still the mayor, it's hard to imagine that very much good has been happening in Seattle. There has been little to no progress on the homeless situation, as can be expected. In the run-up to the FIFA World Cup matches in June, the Seattle city government has actually been moving …
Both these videos demonstrate the wonder of Nature. Both involve water.

The Sun God did it?
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. …
Living in an area basically surrounded by water leaves lots of room for "on the water" photos! In response to one of Tina's photos, this one is a favorite. The Water is the Victoria BC Inner Harbour, and these are three of their cute water taxis that ply their way around the harbor, shuttling tourists …

This week, my friend at Journeys With Johnbo challenges us to show photos of historical sites and sights! We like to visit places with historical significance, and my trusty phone camera helps there, since it's always with me. In 2022, on our road trip to Colorado, Hubby wanted to stop in Idaho, and visit the …

For my birthday this year, I asked to drive up to the Skagit Valley to check out the tulips, then have my birthday dinner at a seafood restaurant near the marina in Anacortes. It was a perfect day for that drive, even though we didn't see many tulips! We really don't like to pay big …
