Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Nostalgic

The subject of Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #75 is nostalgic. I feel nostalgic for places that I used to go to, such as our family’s cottage in northern Wisconsin. We sold the cottage in 2015, which had been in my family for 50 years, because it was no longer possible or feasible to manage the place […]

Lens-Artists’ Challenge: A Frigid 2019

Climate change has actually brought colder weather to the Midwest. The winters of 2014 and 2015 were characterized by long periods of below-0°-F temps and a few major blizzards. I was still working in a school at that time and we had many “snow” days (actually extreme cold days)! The reason given for these periods […]

Lens-Artists #72 – Waiting

People wait.     Transportation vehicles wait. Animals and plants wait. Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #72, 11/16/19: Waiting

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Monochrome

Lens-Artists’ weekly photo challenge #70 has the topic monochrome. Monochrome can be either black & white or varying hues of the same color. Normally, to create a black & white photo, I use my photo software to change it from color to B&W, since I do virtually all my photography in color. In this photo, […]

Lens-Artists #67 – Candid at the Louvre

I took this photo last June at the Louvre in Paris, at the meeting spot for our family group of four after a couple of hours roaming around individually. It’s not particularly complimentary to them, and I think maybe my son saw me taking it since he is looking right at the camera, but it’s […]

Lens-Artists’ #65: A Place With Special Memories…Sedona

I have been to so many places, in the U.S. and abroad. Every place has been memorable and I thought of the places that were most meaningful to me for this photo challenge: Lens-Artists’ #65 – Pick a Special Place. Scotland – my mother took us on an ancestors’ tour there in 1999 and visited […]

Lens-Artist #64: Countryside and/or Small Town

Lens-Artists #64 has the theme Countryside and/or Small Towns. We saw many beautiful places on our European vacation in June/July. Yes, it was exciting to visit large cities like Paris and Amsterdam, but the most beautiful places were the rural areas and small towns. I also include beautiful country scenes from other trips.

Precious Pets Sometimes Don’t Win Popularity Contests

This is our precious pet “tortie”* cat, Hazel. I captured her in a mellow moment sitting on the living room carpet near her scratching post. I was glad that she cooperated for this photo by letting me get her close-up. We adopted Hazel from a shelter at Christmastime 2013. I have always loved cats, and […]

Summer in the City: Takin’ a Break

Lens-Artists’ photo challenge for this week is Taking a Break.  When the weather is hot (or even when it’s not), it’s always nice to take a break, such as… before a Beach Boys & Ringo Starr concert at Ravinia, young Parisians enjoying a warm afternoon in the sculpture gardens behind the Louvre, after work at […]
