As I looked through my archived photos, it became clear – finding shots that shout “hot” are harder in black and white! Most that I might have chosen were with bright red or orange tones…
…however, these three captures indicate there is heat being applied!
Cold is much easier to “see” in black and white.
Wishing everyone warmth on chilly winter days!
…finding a shady spot on a summer day,
…a morning walk and sniff through the dunes,
…helping with the gardening,
…snuggling with my loved ones,
…a romp at the beach,
…hanging out with friends and family,
…and napping by a warm fire!
I’ve been perusing the posts of WordPress Blogs I follow – what an inspiration it is!
Thanks once again to Cee, for providing resources and her own fun challenges!
Last week was a whirlwind for me, as I prepared for and hosted a large gathering of neighbors and friends at my home. When I put my head on the pillow Saturday night, I promised myself a day of rest on Sunday which would include posting a response to Lens-Artists Photo Challenge Splash.
A classic shot of the breakers at Long Beach, WA – USA.
Now — on to view your inspiring posts from this past week!

It comes as no surprise that I have very few photos of doors in my archives! However, I do have a few choice pieces I’m delighted to share in response to another fun Lens-Artist Challenge, this one from Tina.
This virtual doorway, invites us to drive-up for some take-out clam chowder! What a classic coastal work of folk art this is. Wonder how long before it is gone?
North Head Lighthouse went into service in 1898. It fell into disrepair and was closed to the public for many years, until a non-profit group raised funds to begin restoring it. Now open to the public once again, I was thrilled to visit the tower last July. To see my blog post from that visit, click here: https://lindylecoq.com/2018/06/15/view-from-inside-north-head-lighthouse/ To learn more about the lighthouse go to: http://northheadlighthouse.com/history/
The moment I saw this bicycle sculpture in Sandpoint, Idaho’s downtown square, I was smitten. What a clever way to draw our attention toward the doorway to the public restrooms. The mural on the left wall is light and cheerful with a flock of bright butterflies and flowers floating away into the fields! Every time I see this photo, I smile 🙂
Lens-Artists Challenge #20 – Open Sesame: Doors and Doorways
(Usually, I try not to comment, but just couldn’t resist giving this one a title on the eve of the celebration of Thanksgiving in the USA!)
Sunsets and sunrises almost always create a magical light show. Yet, other atmospheric conditions contribute to stunning photographs. The following series of photos were taken from the same beach on different days and various times of day.
This autumn sunset over the Pacific Ocean, is enhanced by swirling cirrus clouds.
Clear skies, soon after sunrise, with fog in the distance and a full moon setting.
Stratus clouds over the Pacific, create rainbows in the morning sunlight.
Morning fog and waves are suffused with pastel colors at sunrise.

Red Sky Sunset
As days grow shorter in the Northern Hemisphere, I encourage all to look up into the sky several times a day (even if it’s cloudy!) and let the light of our star nurture your soul.
