~ Tuesday Two by Two + Color Your World – Cerise ~

Cerise – the French word for Cherry. This week’s color challenge is to explore the range of tones of pink to magenta.

What a lovely topic on a dreary grey PNW day!

In the dark grey days of winter I use a biolight to boost my mood.

Never before has one of my beagles decided it was just about as good as real sunshine — until Jello!

When I pulled up next to this hunk of metal I just had to snap a picture. Luckily the light gave me time to get a clear shot.

~ On The Sunny Side ~ Weekly Photo Challenge – Optimistic ~

Most people consider me an optimist, though occasionally I was accused of being gullible on account of it. Still, I’ve always found it suited me to look at life from the ‘glass half full’ perspective. Once when I was quite young, I went back to bed and got up on the other side to shift my qi energy — though at the time the word qi was not in my vocabulary!

On our walk through a neighborhood in Corvallis yesterday (1/22/16), I saw téte a téte daffodils blooming already. The above primroses have continued flowering all winter in my rock garden —  now that’s optimism in my book!

~ The Champ ~ WPC – Alpha Beta 5 ~

This is my fifth and final post for this week’s Alphabet challenge. When a dear friend from college donated his race car to the Seattle Museum of History and Industry (MOHI), Creighton and I made a point to be there.

Ever seen a race car without something written on it?! Al had a good run with his challenger, and he’s still racing!

~ Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge + WPC ~ Alpha Beta 2 ~

Another rainy day in the Pacific Northwest gave me all the excuse I needed to sit by the fire and look through photo’s to make this small collage of animals forming letters. The Red Panda, above is almost an M!
