CFFC: Vibrant Colors

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge continues its series about colors. This week’s topic is vibrant colors.

Weekly Prompt: Clock the Time

The Weekly Prompts from GC and Me theme is Clock the Time. These photos of clocks are all from our 2019 summer trip to Europe. Most of these clocks are on tall towers. Interestingly, they all use Roman numerals (except the one on a sign), which until recent times was actually quite common. On the […]

Lens-Artists #72 – Waiting

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

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 […]

CB&WPC: Taking Sides

Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge this week is sides of things. Whose side are you on? I’m not sure I’d want to be on THIS guy’s side – especially its bad side! Climbing up the side of this pyramid might be tricky, not to mention slippery! I’d rather be on this animal’s side than […]

Xingfumama has a weekly challenge called Pull Up a Seat. This is Week #33 of 2019. These are some “seats” I photographed in Paris in June 2019.

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 […]

CFFC: Man’s Best Friend and Other Companions

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week has the topic of animals. Here are some of the domestic variety that we saw on our recent trip to Europe. Waiting for an Uber in suburban Paris, I sat on a bench facing the Marne River, where I watched a man and his dog. At first, the man […]

Oddball is defined thus: Oddball: noun a person or thing that is atypical, bizarre, eccentric, or nonconforming adjective whimsically free-spirited; eccentric; atypical Some vestige of bygone days in a Parisian apartment building water pump in Vienna that looks like a sad […]

Squares of Blue: Surprise at the Louvre

The famous (and huge) Louvre art museum in Paris was once a palace, so one doesn’t just look at paintings. Architectural splendor abounds. Most of it is quite ornamental and historic, so imagine my surprise at seeing this ceiling in one of the galleries! This tribute to Greek discoveries in science fit with the Greco-Roman […]
