Cell Pic Sunday – Lady in Distress

I have traveled this highway my entire life, north and south as State Route 23 runs from my hometown in southern Ohio to our capital in Columbus, but I never paid her much attention until today. Just south of the bypass she stands in repose. As I looked out over the baron corn fields and

Lens Artist Challenge #252 – What’s Bugging You?

I’ve been playing hit and miss with the weekly challenges lately, but this one sounded too fun to miss! My first and favorite bug is the cicadas! You start to see their shells clinging to the trees around my birthday in August. It has always been a sign that summer is coming to an end.

Lens-Artist Challenge #232 – Evolution (Looking Back)

I’m not sure if this week’s challenge is Evolution or Looking Back as I have seen it both ways, but luckily I can do both with this one. This week’s challenge has me going back to the place I love, Longboat Key, Florida. When I moved there in 2016, I spent many evenings alone sitting
