Starry Night

Loretta @noni1959 (10758) • United States 11 Oct

It's been stormy here and last night, the clouds moved out and I took a few night shots with my iPhone 16 Pro Max. iPhones are fast becoming just as good as an expensive camera. This photo was taken at 7:56pm, already night. The...

Loretta @noni1959 (10758) • United States 10 Oct

I may have written about this before, but myLot is glitching on me today. Checking keeps taking me in circles. The Kurt Cobain Memorial in Aberdeen, Washington, is small and nothing flashy or has a must see about it. However, I...

Raymond Washington

Loretta @noni1959 (10758) • United States 10 Oct

I'm still on the fence about where I moved recently, but it's sort of happening - I'm falling in love with the area. The main road curves around the Willapa River, a tidal river, a feature of this area. It flows into the Willapa...
