A Red Faced Duck at Coulon Park
We’re in a deep freeze here in the Northwest, but I bundled up anyway and went for a walk at Coulon, hoping to find some red for this week’s Sunday Stills challenge. I started near the hotel where there were lovely reflections in the… Continue Reading “A Red Faced Duck at Coulon Park”

As a mineral name, quartz… Continue Reading “Quartz, Minerals, Rocks, and Other Gems”
Cities Come in All Sizes
For this week’s Sunday Stills Challenge #Urban I thought I’d share a few of my favorite cities starting with the largest. London “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.”… Continue Reading “Cities Come in All Sizes”
Sun Goes Down, Sun Comes Up at Paradise, Mt. Rainier
For this week’s Sunday Stills Challenge, I went searching through my archives for pictures of sunrise and sunset, since I had little to draw from so far in 2024. I intended to use multiple locations but got stuck in Paradise, at Mt Rainier. We… Continue Reading “Sun Goes Down, Sun Comes Up at Paradise, Mt. Rainier”
