A Spring Trip to the Oregon Coast – Beach Walks, Light Houses and Sea Creatures
It’s been a cold and rainy spring in the Pacific Northwest, but we wanted to get away. So we picked a few days of forecasted sunshine and headed south to the Oregon Coast, with our first stop, in Long Beach, Washington. There we enjoyed… Continue Reading “A Spring Trip to the Oregon Coast – Beach Walks, Light Houses and Sea Creatures”
About Last Night’s Moon
It’s been ages since I attempted to capture the moon but I saw it rising last night and went outside with my camera, but no tripod. My house is surrounded by trees, so it takes a while to see it unobstructed. Later that night,… Continue Reading “About Last Night’s Moon”
Magical Moonrise Over Mt. Rainier
It was the end of 2020, our first full year of Covid. Travels were still limited to outdoor spaces, so we bundled up and headed to the mountain in our backyard. It was clear and sunny, snowy and beautiful, that day. We stopped by… Continue Reading “Magical Moonrise Over Mt. Rainier”
Saying Goodbye to November
Today felt like the first day of winter, with frost on the ground and temperatures in the low thirties. Even so, we bundled up and took a walk at a nearby park, where crispy, fallen leaves were still everywhere on the ground. ‘Hey dear,’… Continue Reading “Saying Goodbye to November”

Grand Canyon in Purple
The grandest of canyons is of course, beautiful during the day, where you’ll enjoy walks along the rim, and have many photo opportunities for yourself, and the wildlife below. But the real magic occurs at sunrise and sunset when the canyon walls turn various… Continue Reading “Grand Canyon in Purple”
Astoria Bridge, in Many Colors, in Many Ways
This month’s theme of Becky’s Square Challenge is GeometricJanuary. “Geometric” includes the many shapes, forms, angles and lines surrounding us (that’s the general idea, I never was good in geometry,) but the trick is in squaring the photo. I decided to do just that… Continue Reading “Astoria Bridge, in Many Colors, in Many Ways”
Seven O’clock Sunset
I love this time of year when summer has turned to fall, and the sun begins to set earlier and earlier. I was in my office when I saw brilliant colors in the sky and went outside to capture them. It was near 7:00… Continue Reading “Seven O’clock Sunset”
