Me and My Shadows in Hawaii
Dropping by with a few #November Shadow squares from our recent trip to Hawaii. I took a walk on the beach in Waikiki where the only shadow was mine, save for a few distant palm trees. I found more shadows at Ala Moana Beach… Continue Reading “Me and My Shadows in Hawaii”

Shadows and Reflections in the Woods
It’s hard for me to tell which is which, but I think I found both – shadows and reflections – on yesterday’s walk in the woods. It was a new trail to us, a boardwalk, through a bog – West Hylebos Wetlands Park in… Continue Reading “Shadows and Reflections in the Woods”

Just another Walk in the Park at Coulon
Yesterday I shared pictures with you of my walk on the Cedar River Trail, where the river flows into Lake Washington. From here you can see Gene Coulon Memorial Park on the east side of the lake, one of the best in my humble… Continue Reading “Just another Walk in the Park at Coulon”

Walking on a Carpet of Red – on the Cedar River Trail
I felt like I was walking on a bed of roses yesterday on the Cedar River Trail, but they were fallen leaves and just as beautiful. On one side of the trail is the Cedar River heading north into Lake Washington. From that vantage… Continue Reading “Walking on a Carpet of Red – on the Cedar River Trail”

The Salmon are back! Spawning in the Cedar River
It’s been a long, long journey for these sockeye salmon, but they have returned at last to their spawning grounds in the Cedar River. Not the greatest video but stick it out to the end to see the female lay her eggs. I love… Continue Reading “The Salmon are back! Spawning in the Cedar River”

Playing in Light Room – Black and White in Hawaii
I’ve already shared a few times from our trip to Hawaii last month, but I thought I’d take another look for this week’s Sunday Stills Color Challenge, #Black & White. There’s a lot of black to be found on the Big Island, because of… Continue Reading “Playing in Light Room – Black and White in Hawaii”

Taking the Scenic Route – Turquoise and Gold in the North Cascades
“Is the Park open?” (“You’re in it now,” I thought to myself, “just open your eyes.”) But I understand. There’s a government shutdown, after all. And North Cascades National Park is different from the others. No fanfare. Just mountains. And a river.
