Our Beautiful Corner of the #Earth – in Washington State
Earth Day was April 22nd, and though I’m a bit late, let’s just call it Earth Week, how about? When I think of our beautiful planet, the stage on which we live our lives, I think of all the natural beauty surrounding me in… Continue Reading “Our Beautiful Corner of the #Earth – in Washington State”
Rainy Day in a Tulip Field
The tulips are slow to bloom this year in Washington’s Skagit Valley due to the unseasonably cool weather. I hope to make it up north to see them when they do. But last year we stopped by the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm in Oregon,… Continue Reading “Rainy Day in a Tulip Field”
A Road Trip to Wenatchee with a Peek at the Peaks and Wildlife
There were two days of promised good weather, so we took advantage and headed to Wenatchee for the night.

Looking for Red! A Winter Walk at Coulon Park
It’s been awhile since I went for a walk just for the pure pleasure of it while carrying my camera. So today while the coast was clear I snuck out to Coulon Park looking for red. All was blue and white over the lake,… Continue Reading “Looking for Red! A Winter Walk at Coulon Park”
Eagle-Eyed in Port Townsend
On our recent trip to the Olympic Peninsula, I was treated to many eagle sightings, including in Port Townsend, the most charming of the port towns in Washington. Eagles or not, Port Townsend is fun to visit any time of year, with its waterfront… Continue Reading “Eagle-Eyed in Port Townsend”
Golden Hour, It’s the Light!
Photography is all about the light, and the best light is arguably during the golden hour, when the sun is low on the horizon just after sunrise, and just before sunset. So for this week’s Sunday Stills Challenge I went through my archives and… Continue Reading “Golden Hour, It’s the Light!”
