Every day I come across photographs that are beautiful, startling, or funny. Sometimes - they are examples of fabulous photography but more often - they are photos of places or things I simply find appealing. And these days the effects are so good I cannot tell if a photo has been altered or enhanced. But if I like it, I like it. I decided to create a place where I could share them with other people. I should go on record saying - I think almost any kitten is a cute kitten, and I'm a sucker for a pretty flower. Oh, my name is BetteJo, I've been called a crazy cat lady, and I bead. Welcome!

I don't think I would like to live where there is no change of seasons. Fall is here.

Can hear the sounds, smell the smells, feel the humid air of a summer night. Memories of childhood excitement.

This is a place in France called Bonifacio, Corsica.
There is so much happening in our country, in other countries, right now, people are struggling and working and hoping for the best. But it just gets exhausting, doesn't it? So I would like to find a nice seat outdoors in the sun at the edge of this scenic seaside town - and - just sit. Sit and look. That's all.
