Published on by Russell SmithLeave a comment

The purpose of the artist is to leave the world a little more beautiful than when he found it.

The incredible Watts Towers above and below. The minute I heard “spots & dots,” I thought of Watts!

Photographed last January, I never got around to posting this lovely orchid until now. It’s loaded with lots of spots and dots.

Becky’s Bright Square Challenge: April 2, 2021

Here are my offerings for Becky B’s Bright Square Challenge.

According to my photo editor, this picture is a perfect square but here it looks longer than wide to me. I don’t know why that is. For some reason, lately I’ve been drawn to images that have a bit of glare in them. I took this photo over a year ago at a neighborhood called Bay Ridge that looks over the glorious Chesapeake Bay.

This photo is a play on words. Not only is it square, but I snapped it at a shopping center called Harbor Square!
