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. Enjoy. https://twitter.com/marionawfal/status/2055697584979861560?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Majestic https://twitter.com/maniaufo/status/2055525765823726005?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ What might the first Indians to see this phenomenon have thought? 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.

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 …

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. Allen, along US12, is a center of antiques, with many dealers along the highway. I never tired of the drive from Hillsdale to Coldwater, where …
I learned that "shapes" are what are found in Nature; "designs" are what humans make, often mimicking that Nature. "I think that I shall never see a Poem as lovely as a Tree" is a little snippet of poetry that I'll bet every school child learns (author is Joyce Kilmer, who was male-yeah, I never …
