This week’s photo challenge is about everyday life. I could go on and on and post thousands of photos, each showing one aspect of our busy lives. But I won’t. I’ll post only 4, which may somehow summarize part of a typical working day. So here they are: This post was created in response to… Read more

This week’s writing challenge asks us to try to write on a style that is different from ours. Some style that reflects how some of our favorite authors would tell the story if it was them writing. One of the authors that have a most unique writing style among the classic Brazilian authors is Machado… Read more

Last week and really wanted to take a picture of a flying bird for the free spirit photo challenge. But I either did not have a camera at hand when I saw one, or I did not see one when I had the camera. Today I went to a mall that has nice woven lanterns… Read more

I live on a place that, like Loz Koleszko describes on his blog, can be called Rainylands. Yep, you guessed it right, it’s in the US Pacific Northwest. Well… but although there are looooots of rainy day around here, it’s not EVERY day. The city of Seattle gets less rain than many other cities in… Read more

My interpretation of Near and Far today showcases the Grand Canyon, where you’re right there, on top of it, meaning you couldn’t be nearer, but it still stretches so far that you can’t see the end of it. Really Grand! đ Read more

Ailsaâs Travel-Themed Photo Challenge this week is Red. A few years ago, I went with my husband and a friend to New York for New Year’s. It was my first (and so far only) time there. One day, when we were walking along the Brooklin Bridge, I saw a seagull resting at a rail and… Read more

When I think of free spirit, I think about flying. But not boring airplane flying, when you don’t really feel you’re flying. It’s more that secret desire I have always had that I could simply move my arms, or maybe run really fast, and start flying away, above the trees and the buildings, and high… Read more

With this week’s challenge, I just realized I’m not too much of a things person. I do have a hard time throwing stuff away, but I guess it’s more because I always think they could be useful someday, rather than for being attached to them. But I did find an item I like very much.… Read more

From ages 5 to 27 I lived on a big house with a huge (and I mean HUGE) backyard, full of fruit trees, big rocks to climb, lawn space to run, a tiny soccer field even, and of course a big variety of wild life. The ones we saw more often were the animals that… Read more

Itâs that time of the year when allergic people hate to be outside because of the amount of pollen still in the air. True that a couple months ago, it was worse, but you can still see stuff flying around that would not be very comfortable to the ones who suffer from allergies. Well⌠I… Read more

Hard to take very urban pictures whe you spent almost the whole life in the surburbs. But this weekend I had a 10K race in downtown Seattle. I usually walk my races, which is cool because it allows me to take pictures. This time around I did a mix of walk and jog, but still could… Read more

Another picture post, this time with berries I photographed in the trail I go for my walks, or parks I go with the kids. The reason why I photograph them is that they are so beautifull. Some are clusters on it’s own (like the blackberries, raspberries, cloudberries, etc…) while some are tiny round fruits that show… Read more

Ok, I know I have already posted photos of Merge, but I just couldn’t resist adding this one. The merge here is real, and the picture was taken as is, with no editing. The wheels are from a cart left on a somewhat historic site, where there used to be a mill several decades ago, and the… Read more

Hi, I’m entering with 2 pictures today, to show two different interpretations of merge. The first picture was taken as is, no editing done, and it shows the merging of the old and new architecture in downtown Seattle. The second picture is a (very amateurish) merging of 2 pictures, layering two nature elements that has similar shapes.… Read more

Hello, This will be my first attempt to participate in the Photo Challenge. The picture itself is not great, as it was taken with my phone while driving (which by the way is the first wrong doing here… I know… but to my defense, my phone is always placed on the dashboard and I don’t… Read more

The title above can summarize my day so far, and it’s only 2:00 PM. My 2 daughters have a cough that’s been going on for a couple weeks now. So earlier this week we called the doctor and scheduled a visit for both of them to happen today afternoon. But last night the little one started… Read more
