I'm a photographer from Washington State and only post my own shots, so I only have myself to blame for their quality. Prints are available for sale at jonhmowe.smugmug.com. All images -- copyright Jon Mowe.

Waiting
This is a grainy crop of a film shot attempting to express the feeling we all have experienced when, for a short time, we are lost, but hold out hope that it is just a fleeting feeling and that things will be better in the future.

As I watched these crows, it occurred to me that this was the first time I observed one grooming the other. I think that crows are greatly underestimated concerning their intelligence and also their concern for each other.

I may have to work on more woodworking projects and do more photography to take my mind off of all the crazy, scary politics for the next four years.

I took this shot of a lone madrona tree in a frosty boggy meadow after leaving a trail along the Elwha River.

"Morning Sun On Maple In Fall" This is a shot that appealed to me as the sun appeared on my walk along the Elwha River.

Also, it doesn't seem like there is a way to edit my post for grammar and spelling. Maybe that could be an added feature, as well.

Wow. That turned out the best so far. It has retained sharpness and is not pixelated. Now Bluesky needs to let my posts show up on the Home screen without me having to search for it each time to see how it loaded.

I am still working out how to format my pictures for bluesky. Here is a shot of the NW Washington Coast from Salt Creek Park. I formatted it from 100 MB down to about 7 MB 2048 pixels PNG. Let's see of it loads on Bluesky.

Two pigeons are sitting on a railing of a dock in Port Angeles in the rain. You can see the raindrops on the bird's feathers in my original photograph and the raindrops whizzing by.

I went for a walk in the rain in Port Angeles and took this photo of a couple of pigeons sitting on a rail. They seemed OK with me getting fairly close to them as I took the picture. If you look closely, you can see the raindrops streaking down and water droplets on the birds' feathers.
