Wanna Buy a Frame?
With so many loose photos scattered around this site, and prompted by our discussions of windows, I decided to get organized with some frames. But now I have too many frames! Wanna buy one (or 9)? These three are the most traditional, and fit large photos: On the smaller side, more frame than photos, are … Continue reading Wanna Buy a Frame?
Eye See You
Draw nigh, weary child, Find shelter, rest, shade. Let's muse on the wild, The places you've strayed. Summon up a stream, River, brook, creek, rill. They flow where they dream, Bring life where they spill. Evoke clouds, wind, light - Observers on high. Not earthbound. In flight! Bear witness; pass by. Tarry. Soon you'll go, … Continue reading Eye See You
Same/Difference: Hands Across the Water
You've been enjoying our comparison photos, right? I didn't hear you. RIGHT? That's better. Today, let's - as they say in Poker - show our hands.

Landscape Flags
Hear me out, okay? Most flags are... boring. Go ahead, look up the flags of the world. Prove me wrong! I'll wait <yawn> here. Why hasn't anyone given flags a makeover yet? I guess dull, solid stripes ARE easier to reprint and reproduce. But are they inspiring? Also, this is 2019! We have the technology … Continue reading Landscape Flags

Be Before A Sea
"Gimme a 'B!'" "B!" "Gimme an 'EACH!'" "EACH!" "What's that spell?" "I can't hear you!" "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" "Nice job! And if you need help next time, simply remember, 'B E before A C.'"
