This week Tina challenges us to express what Seasonal means; I chose to do this with photographs. My husband and I are able to experience the seasons in two different parts of the country. Winter rolls in with freezing weather, complete with wind, snow and ice in Southern Maine; Kiawah Island, SC has a more moderate winter, although it can get a bit chilly at times. Spring is a welcome relief with delightfully warming temperatures as new life begins to unfold. And, summer days on Kiawah can heat up quickly and become humid before traveling north to Maine for more temperate temperatures. The autumn months in Maine can be spectacular; gorgeous fall…
WINDOWS: Lens-Artists Photo Challenge
This week Ann-Christine challenged us to show pictures of some interesting windows we have seen. She suggested we look for “what/who is standing or sitting by or at the window …. find an interesting something standing or hanging in the window…or perhaps seen through the window!” Below is an eclectic collection of recent window photos I encountered.

Topaz software created the smooth, glassy look. …

ACTION: Lens-Artists Photo Challenge
Patti selected the word Action for this week’s Photo Challenge. When thinking about what to present, wildlife images immediately came to mind. Wild animals and birds spend most of their life being active; always vigilant and searching for food to survive and raise their young. “Your way of life is determined by the actions you take.” ∼ Akiroq Brost Beautiful Maine Bobcats (Lynx rufus) like this one are fairly common in many parts of the state. It was mesmerizing watching this cat slowly saunter back into the woods when hearing someone approach in the distance. Fortunately, bobcats are reclusive animals and tend to avoid people. Their diet consists of rabbits,…
