Ice and snow on Three Sisters Creek

In the Spirit of the Season

On January 1, 2026December 28, 2025 By GeoKsIn Photography3 Comments

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase, "in the spirit of the season?" I think of family, traditions, good food and winter weather and I did my best to capture some of those ideas in five photographs for this month's edition of the Photo Blogging Challenge.

Thankful (Photo Blogging Challenge: 2025-11)

One Word (Photo Blogging Challenge: 2025-10)

After wrestling with the theme for most of the month, I finally landed on an approach. In this post, I explore the word "bandwagon" as it applies to staycations, e-biking and joining a popular trend.

Life Enjoyed (Photo Blogging Challenge: 2025-09)

On October 1, 2025September 29, 2025 By GeoKsIn Photography1 Comment

For me life enjoyed = feeling fulfilled and satisfied, with good friends, positive family relationships, and time spent in the pursuit of meaningful activities. This month's photo blogging challenge was to capture that concept in five photographs.

Makes Me Smile

On September 1, 2025September 1, 2025 By GeoKsIn Photography3 Comments

This month's Photo Blogging Challenge theme was a helpful nudge to lean into the things that bring you joy and make you smile, a small - but powerful - counterweight against the way so much of what's in the news these days fosters dread and frustration.
