Photography, Fiction, Travel, and Opinions.
I've started sorting through my January 2019 photos for the next post documenting our visit to Long Beach, CA, and the subsequent Panama Canal transit cruise. This post is a small preview of what I saw on the Queen Mary, a museum and hotel anchored in Long Beach. Before addressing the lifeboat in the above... Continue Reading →
The voting ended today at Noon, and here are the results: It was a low turnout (less than half the number of votes we got last week . . . when everyone was voting for their own title), but there it is. As described in THIS post, we, the writers, will each write a story... Continue Reading →
I've used it before on the phone, but wanted to try it on the PC (it's similar). Also, I wanted a few minutes of mindless photo editing before doing other stuff. I'm not sure how much I'll use it. It's one of them one-click editing programs and, frankly, Snapseed works better on the phone (faster... Continue Reading →
The SDS "Greed" voting round has come to an end. Here's the updated logo . . . If you want to know more about the SDS challenge, THIS Post <<link explains it. If you want to read the Seven Deadly Sins stories submitted for the Sin of Gluttony and see the results of the vote,... Continue Reading →
So, a few weeks ago, in Sam's Club Parking lot, we see this vehicle. I wasn't the only one who snapped photos. That's a curious sight and — in today's world — something like that is a great excuse to bring out the phone and snap a few photos. I came across these photos a... Continue Reading →
The "Y" stories voting block is getting to its last few days (it ends on Monday at noon). For them who like to squeak in at the last minute, we're nearing that point in the voting block. And, as usual, if you're a regular reader of our stories and someone who votes, thank you for... Continue Reading →
The "W" stories are jockeying for the top spot with just six days — or five days , depending on how one counts them — before the voting closes. We often have a rash of last-minute votes, so it's still anyone's guess which story will win the round. Reader's choices have surprised me a number... Continue Reading →

In THIS<<link post I briefly explained why I don't follow opinion blogs. . . . but mentioned I follow many some photo blogs. Two such blogs are lightscatter<<link and 2clicksaway<<link, both run by oneowner, a. k. a. Ken Bello<<link. I follow them because they offer ideas for subjects and composition and because of the often... Continue Reading →

The Alphabet Challenge "N" Stories voting will close at noon on Sunday, August 16th. I mean, it sure sounds like you have a lot of time left to read for about 30 minutes, then ponder about which story merits your vote, and then vote . . . BUT! . . . we live in a... Continue Reading →
The Alphabet Challenge "N" Stories voting has entered the doldrums period. Yup, during every round, there's a point where voting stalls and the poll languishes in solitude with nary a click to keep it company. You have no obligation to do anything . . . but it sure would be swell — if you've not... Continue Reading →
Unlike real lobbyists, I got nothing to bribe . . . er . . . offer in exchange for visitors reading the Alphabet Challenge "N" Stories. As such, you have no obligation to do anything . . . but it sure would be swell — if you've not already done so — if you would... Continue Reading →
The Alphabet Challenge "N" Stories are sitting there, looking pretty and waiting for readers (and voters). You could be a reader (if you've not already read the stories) and you could be a voter (if you've not already voted). And, guess what? Unlike the US elections, you don't have to choose the lesser of two... Continue Reading →
