I just love patterns, both in nature and man-made. I'll often photograph a chair with an interesting upholstery pattern, or even a piece of furniture, like the bench below. I spotted this on a walk through downtown Bellevue, Washington last week. It's remarkable how you can actually bend slices of wood into undulations not normally …

So, rocks are this week's subject, and my photo library is chock-full of rocks, from near and far. Did you know that there is only one approved building material in the city of Jerusalem?

The United States used to be a bastion of the Rule of Law. Criminal suspects were read their Miranda Rights, arrested, booked into jail, allowed a phone call to their attorney, and were allowed to post bail before appearing before a judge to enter a plea.

This guest essay is copied in its entirety from his post on X/Twitter. All the words are his, but the ideas are universal and should be heeded by all who are not Fascist Leftists.

If the original multi-celled organisms in the primordial seas had auditory organs, what they …

And just what, you ask, is Turbo Cancer? Well, it is a young person, previously completely healthy, being diagnosed with Cancer one day, and dying of that cancer a very short time later. It is someone diagnosed with a very rare type of cancer that she has never even heard of. And it is doctors, …
Just recently, the Trump wing of the RNC triumphed. Finally, after weeks of backlash from ordinary Republicans everywhere, Ronna McDaniel, friend of RINOS, stepped down from her position (that she was re-appointed to just last year). Lara Trump, co-head of the new RNC, did a little house-cleaning. Once out of the RNC, the news was …

My photography is mostly landscapes and scenes without people, for some unknown reason. But I do like to do some people-watching. It was in Nashville that I photographed a very colorful character who was happy to pose for me. He just looked so pleased with himself! On that same trip to Nashville, we went to …
