Me and My Sony at Point Defiance!
I told you last week of my camera woes, when the zoom and controls on my Sony RX10 froze up. I thought it was the end of my favorite camera but after I replaced the battery and SD card, and restored initial settings, it’s… Continue Reading “Me and My Sony at Point Defiance!”

Nature’s Fallen at Rialto Beach
For this week’s Sunday Still’s Photo Challenge I remembered the fallen at Rialto Beach. We first discovered Rialto Beach on a trip to Olympic National Park in 2017 and it instantly became my favorite.

Hindsight is Always 2020 – A look Back
We started 2020 in the Pacific Northwest lamenting the rain and planning an escape to where the sun always shines. For us that was Oahu and the timing in February was perfect – a month later would be too late. In early March we… Continue Reading “Hindsight is Always 2020 – A look Back”

A Day trip to Paradise with Moonrise Over Mt Rainier
Every trip to Mt Rainier promises something special and so it was on Monday as we headed south to Paradise. We arrived at the Nisqually Entrance to the Park, the only one open to vehicles year-round.

A Walk through Hood River in the Columbia River Gorge
Not the river itself of course but the town named after the river. Last month – before the latest round of lockdowns went into effect – we spent the night in Hood River.
