Last rays through the trees

Cougar Run

Last week in the Skagit

These Snow Geese were giving an aerial show... and then the whole flock of thousands took off right at me!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Big Red (Pileated Woodpecker) wishes you all a Happy Valentine's Day... and I do too!

Big surf in San Diego - Ocean Beach

Just back from a meeting in San Diego, but had a few minutes to check out the big surf (7-12 ft) at Ocean Beach.

Diva Girl Keeping Warm

Landy should learn a few tips from my cousin's pup Diva. She doesn't mind when I get in close with the camera and she's all about posing and giving you attitude. She was so much fun to photograph last weekend!

Last Light of 2011...Last photos of 2011

Sure was exciting taking the last photos of 2011! Happy 2012; may you're year be filled with many blessings and beautiful photos!

Digital alps

Looking rather addicted, I think.  Last one.

Here are a couple more of living greenery that I played around with for 'abstract.'

Threshhold

I changed the cement block to a circle and cropped edges off.  Then I used 'threshhold' and also used 'invert'.  I need to learn how to add colors.  Fun!

Pike Place Market - Playing with Lights

This was shot through the windshield (at a red light, I was the passenger), post processing - had to take out a LOT of red and yellow hues cast by the red stoplight and the yellow from street lights and other cars.

Time and Motion #1

Not very exciting, but an example of something to try.

Abstract take 3

Uncle Nickolas had returned from his long winter journey;
it was a cold winter night.

We snuggled under warm blankets,
sipping hot cocoa,
munching ginger snaps.

A fire blazed, the candles flickered, all was quiet.

Uncle Nickolas had often told us forest stories.
A silent tree falling;
robins snoring;
owls watching through the night.

As we peered through the windows,
we asked Uncle Nickolas,

who walks in the forest when we don’t?
