Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #374: On the Move!

I love Transportation, in all its forms. It started with my summer job when I was in college, working in the Traffic Department (in charge of shipping and receiving) at the Ford Motor Company Seattle Parts Depot in south Seattle. I worked there three years in a row, and I loved learning about the modes …

Summer. Leavenworth. Accordions.

Yes, they do go together. We are in Leavenworth for the weekend, partaking of activities in the Leavenworth International Accordion celebration. We got to town around 5:00PM, offloaded our gear at our hotel, and attended the first performance of the amateur bands. Of course, Tempo Trends Music, from Victoria, BC, had their normal extensive display …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #216: Urban Environments

Thinking back on the past three years, it occurs to me that we have pretty much stayed out of big cities, both at home and on vacations.  In the last three years of Covid madness, I have only been to Seattle once, for a private concert at the new Center for Chamber Music, which Hubby …

Both young ladies are excellent musicians, and they stole the show at the Accordion Celebration this year. On my outings to the new Waterfront Place development on …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #177: Celebrating

In this year of government oppression of the people of our country, sometimes it's hard to find anything to celebrate.  I remember March of 2020, when the government locked down society (except for what it deemed "essential" activities).  The weekend after the lockdown started, I decided to celebrate my independence, and refusal to accept government …

CFFC-Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, Reflections and Shadows

So, what motivated my friend Cee to choose reflections and shadows for this week's fun challenge?  I see, she fell right into my hands...  Reflections and shadows are some of my very favorite photographic subjects! Bodies of water are excellent for reflections, aren't they?  Especially if the water is flat, mirror-like.  The waters of Silver …
