My Submissions

This is a lot more difficult than my daily picture themes. All 21 photos have been uploaded to the Flickr group.

Luna & Raven

I have my share of scratches from these active kittens. They are not very good about retracting those claws when they get excited and race around the house. They provide great subject matter for photography, but I wonder if like a new parent I might be overdoing it a bit.

Daily Picture Themes

I've been keeping up with the Daily Picture Themes posted on the social media site Spoutible and posting them on my Improves with Age substack. Here are the latest postings for the week.

Practice self care

I have removed AdSense advertising from my site. The ads were annoying and cluttered up the page. However it does cost money (and time) to publish this website. If you enjoy the content, why not become a supporter? Think of it as buying me a "virtual cup of coffee". FYI the average cost of a cup of coffee in 2024 is $3.08
