Cataract Surgery

Yeah. I feel old. Just had cataract surgery. Both eyes, although 3 weeks apart. My left eye was first because it was the worst. I basically couldn't see out of it. Everything was super blurry. The surgery did a great job of fixing that! I just got the other eye done yesterday. And here I...

L-APC: Favorite Finds

Lens-Artist Challenge #214: Favorite Finds I don't go to a lot of museums. But I have been to a lot of antique stores. I started taking photos of creepy things in them which I share around Halloween. I call it "Super Creepy Crap". I haven't gotten new photos lately 'cuz of COVID though. But anyway......

LAPC- Photographic Groove

Lens-Artist Photo Challenge- Photographic Groove It's pretty clear that my groove is animals and nature; as in flowers, sunsets and rural places. I really like taking macro shots too. Macros show a whole other level of detail that's unknown to the naked eye. This is a Lantana petal with a drop of water in the...

L-AC: Three photos

I'm late, as usual. The theme for this Lens-Artist Challenge is 3 Favorite Photos. We are supposed to pick 3 of our favorite photos from different genres. It'll be difficult to pick just 3. Hopefully I won't get lost going down the rabbit hole of looking through my photos. It happens. Frequently. I've posted this...

About Horses

I thought I'd write about something I know about. Horses. They've been a part of my life since as far back as I can remember. I got my first real horse when I was 10, although I'd been pretending I had one for years before. When I got out of high school I went to...

Oh. You’re an Introvert

What's wrong with being an introvert? (Nothing). Why is it that being an introvert has a negative connotation? That because you're not flying from one person to another at a party like a butterfly to flowers, that it's wrong. That there's something wrong with you. Like we are ALL supposed to glom onto one another...

LAPC- Eyes

Lens-Artist Photo Challenge: The Eyes Have It I thought for the longest time that the white spot on the road runner was his eye. I never got a good look until I got a photo of him. His eye is actually right in front of the white spot. This zebra seems to have a peaceful...

LAPC- Light & Shadow

Lens-Artist Photo Challenge- Light & Shadow What a fun topic! Time to go hunt through the archives... Reflection in the TV of the sun hitting a gazing ball on the couch HaHa Tonka Castle New Mexico

L-AC: Bokeh

Lens-Artist Challenge: Bokeh Thanks to Sofia for a cool topic! For some reason, this was a fun one for me. Got some bubble bokeh goin' on! I like how the colors are still there on this one. Just some blurred background but the yellow enhances the purple. When your name is "Badlands", what else do...

Historic Houses

My post about the cave in Arkansas reminded me of the gorgeous historic houses that we saw in Fort Smith on that same trip. I took a few pics so I thought I'd share them here. Glorious! I'm so glad that they've restored these houses. I think this building has been/is used as a school....
