The Difference of 6 Inches

all shot in B/W and all shot in sequence. 6 inches can make a LOT of difference when shooting in small spaces with small things

If I Was A Betting Woman...

The set-up for a surprise picnic for a lucky girlfriend

There was champagne, flowers, and cliche finger foods...

If I was a betting woman, I'd place $100 this guy proposed!

Pete, Re-pete... Hey, wait a minute

Never believe what you see. All the elements are real - they just didn't happen all at the same time.

breathtaking flower

This really cool Corpse flower blossomed last night.
By morning, the stench was much diminished.

The tree she's standing under is a later stage of the same species.
The tubes are monitoring the scent over time.

If I could do it all over again ...

I would be as google earth ...

soar over mountain ranges

swoop along canyon walls

glide over desert sands

fly above crashing waves

drift with the wind

Closed Loop Park is Thurston County's one and a half acre demonstration garden built on a portion of the Hawks Prairie Landfill that was closed in 1991.

Closed-Loop Park is one of the first parks to be built on top of a lined landfill. The 60 ml plastic liner only 16-18 inches from the surface covers decades of accumulated garbage. The liner prevents rain from soaking through the garbage which would create toxic leachate (or "garbage juice") that could sink into the groundwater.

The Pacific Northwest Peony Society donated a collection of over 90 peony varieties that are now growing at Closed Loop. From May to early June visitors can enjoy the colorful blossoms.
Breathtaking views of both Mount Rainier and the Olympic Mountains dwarf the activities of the landfill operations.

The park site is located on a highly visible and well traveled spot adjacent to the Hawks Prairie Landfill. You are invited to explore and enjoy this new recreational and educational addition to our community.
