Photography Shenanigans – Fun with Watercolors and Moon Shots
Even though I remembered last night’s super pink moon I wasn’t really ready for it. Earlier in the day I’d gone outside to take pictures of my backyard stream using long exposures. My Sony RX10 has some cool functions so I also used one… Continue Reading “Photography Shenanigans – Fun with Watercolors and Moon Shots”
Celebrating Pets with Tiger and Benji
For this week’s Sunday Stills Photo Challenge it seemed appropriate to share pictures of Tiger and Benji. Granted they might disagree with being labeled ‘pets,’ rightfully believing they’re members of the household. Tiger came to us from a Cat Hotel. It’s a long story… Continue Reading “Celebrating Pets with Tiger and Benji”
Saturday Dreaming
I just got my second Moderna shot. Should be time for a cruise, right? 🙂 – Susanne
Dropping by with Wildflowers for Earth Day
I’ve been busy road tripping this month and haven’t had much time for photo challenges. So in between my travel posts I thought I’d share some wildflowers for earth day for Becky’s Squares and Sunday Stills from our road trip.

Happy Cats and Birds in the Garden
We must have brought the good weather back from California as we’ve had blue skies and sunshine all week here in the Northwest. In fact, we’ve had record breaking temperatures with Seattle reaching 80 degrees yesterday. I’ll take it. It would have been hard… Continue Reading “Happy Cats and Birds in the Garden”
Road Trip Part 1 – Oregon Coast!
There’s nothing like a road trip to chase away the covid blues and there’s no better way to start than with donuts and coffee. It would be our first real vacation in over a year – at least the first vacation more than a… Continue Reading “Road Trip Part 1 – Oregon Coast!”
Home Again, Home Again from a Wonderful Road Trip
You may have noticed I was off the grid for the last week or so – then again, maybe you didn’t as I tried to stop by occasionally when internet was available. (You wouldn’t think there’d be a problem with cell service in the… Continue Reading “Home Again, Home Again from a Wonderful Road Trip”
Springing with the Birds!
I love this time of year when color brightens up the garden, starting with the azaleas. The birds love it too as they woo a mate and look for nesting places. Wrens and chickadees visit the tiny houses, and the choices are endless. “How… Continue Reading “Springing with the Birds!”
Indian Plum
I discovered a new shrub this spring – or should I say I discovered its name? I’d seen it many times on my walks in the woods, always stopping to admire its growth in the dead of winter and its blossoms in early spring.… Continue Reading “Indian Plum”
