The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge for the week of November 11, 2016. In this week’s challenge, show us tiny. Capture something at a smaller scale. Create your own miniature scene. Or experiment with the tilt-shift technique — Instagram and other apps have this built-in tool. You can also interpret the theme in other ways by capturing your favorite tiny […]
Up until now I’ve been trying to follow the chronological order of the original PBS series; but for this week I decided to skip ahead a little. I happened to catch this episode a few days ago, and I enjoyed it so much I couldn’t wait to share it with you. Perhaps it will brighten your day just a little […]
This week, Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge for this week is Entrances and Doors. All buildings have at least one door. This week I want to see grand entrances and doors from a Cathedral to an old broken door found in a ruined building from long ago. Any building as long long as the entry or door is your main subject of your photo.
Next week I’ll be concluding my Mexico Monday series with the last few pictures of churches in the Ensenada area of Baja California. I’m thinking about carrying on in a similar theme with Memory Mondays — sharing some of the best images I’ve found as I sort through my family’s old photos. Any thoughts? Feel free to share!

Still, if you can manage to get up early enough on a clear morning and choose […]
The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge for the week of November 4, 2016. This week, share your own take on chaos, whether it’s the mess in your living room, a busy street crossing, a party on the verge of getting a little out of hand, or any other subject that celebrates a lack of (visual) control. It’s always a little […]
After my post one week ago, On the Art of Stacking Rocks, I quickly learned (again thanks to MickETalbot) that there is a very definite and important difference between merely stacking a bunch of rocks one on top of the other and the feat of coaxing one or more rocks to balance harmoniously in gravity defying positions. If I may quote from his […]
Some mornings when I’m out for my hike, I’ll walk over to Sutter Street in Folsom and pass by Clouds Porcelain. Every time I do, I can’t help admiring the mural situated opposite the door of their shop/studio. At first glance, I took it for a mosaic; but in fact, it’s not made of small individual pieces. I finally got curious enough […]
