Photography, Fiction, Travel, and Opinions.
Some of my readers might know the user oneowner. He has two blogs that I follow: lightscatter and 2clicksaway. If you like photography, you would do well to visit his blogs and maybe subscribe. While the second link has many photos of classic cars, the first has interesting images with interesting treatments. He is more... Continue Reading →
On December 11, 2021, I shot this image of the moon with the Nikon P900. I cropped the sides a bit, and output the image with a maximum dimension of 1200 pixels (for the purpose of what I'm posting, there's no advantage in viewing the original size). This has no processing other than mentioned above.... Continue Reading →
Can you believe it's been almost four weeks? That's right; you have less than two days before the voting closes. I wouldn't wait until the turkey is in the oven, but that's up to you. If you are new to the SDS Challenge, a little background. Three writers will each write one story a month... Continue Reading →

For them wondering about the title, "I wave at you"<<link and "I wave at you two"<<link are previous posts exploring/offering wave photos (and, if interested, one of those explores my legs). This short post continues the titles (with fewer photos, and no legs ... maybe). So, that's right out of the camera, except I turned... Continue Reading →
I'm I was on a 186-day streak . . . meaning I'd posted at least one post per day for 186 days. It's not my longest effort, but it's still significant. Again, a lot of the posts had to do with The Alphabet Challenge. Still, 2020 saw me put up 414 posts . . .... Continue Reading →
The Alphabet Challenge "R" Stories voting round is off to a slow start, and that's understandable . . . to everyone but us writers. OK, that's a joke. I shouldn't have to explain that, but these days it's best to make things perfectly clear; I'm kidding. I know our regular readers likely will get around... Continue Reading →
The Alphabet Challenge "P" Stories are up and running and the writers hope many readers are eagerly consuming these fine offerings and jumping at the chance to vote in this round. If you are one such reader, and if you've not already done so — please read the stories and then cast a vote for... Continue Reading →
Reading the Alphabet Challenge "N" Stories is not a black and white matter . . . but monochrome versions of the Virginian Tiger Moth are nearly so (they also have gray). I just realized the deadline for closing the vote is nearing (Sunday, noon) and I've yet to start on my "O" story (and no,... Continue Reading →
The previous Juneau 2017 post is HERE.<<link That post has color photos and rather than mix color and monochrome photos, I decided to duplicate the post with the monochrome versions of the photos. Think of it as a nod to the days before color was invented . . . This is the first (monochrome) post... Continue Reading →
This is it; tomorrow the voting will close (sometimes in the afternoon or evening). I suspect them who had any intention of reading and then voting for their favorite story have already done so, but just in case, you can vote for them HERE as well as find links to the stories so that —...

Youse read that correctly. This is not the last reminder to vote on "C" stories. It might have been clearer had I used penultimate . . . but I try to eschew arcane and brobdingnagian words when lesser words will do. Anyway, I suspect them who had any intention of reading and then voting for their... Continue Reading →
