Color photo. A thin white waterfall flows down from the top of the photo, over dark brown rocks dotted with small plants. At mid frame it goes behind the rock, only to appear again in the bottom third. It is surrounded by trees in various autumnal hues: yellow, gold, and orange, with s scattering of tall evergreens interspersed.

As I did last year, I accompanied some friends out to the Olympic Peninsula to catch the tail end of autumn...

Black and white photo. In the top half of the frame there is a snowy slope, dotted with small dark trees, surrounded by dark trees on all sides. In the middle of this snow field is a tall cluster of dark trees. The bottom half of the frame is water, in which the top half is mirrored.

Happy Halloween!

I took this shot up at Tipsoo Lake the other week and, as soon as I did, I knew it would be the photo I'd post today.

It’s been a busy summer…
Here’s 4… and there’s more to come

You're very welcome! Glad you like it. :)

Color photo. At the bottom of the frame, the rocky bed of the White River, receding towards the upper right at mid-frame, lined on either side by tall evergreens. One the left a forested slope rises up quickly. In the distance is Mount Rainier, capped in lenticular clouds. The Emmons Glacier, source of the White River, is visible on the mountain's flank.

A few more from my trip to Mount Rainier National Park a couple of weeks ago...

Black and white photo. Tipsoo Lake, seen from the shore, surrounded by a thin layer of snow, from which short grass pokes through in many places. The far shore is lined with tall dark evergreens. Beyond, on the right, snow-capped Mount Rainier rises above the trees. Above it are streaks of wispy cloud. On the left, the sky is dominated by forming lenticular clouds, their edges glowing from the unseen sun behind them. The trees, mountain and clouds are reflected in the lake, only slightly disturbed by shallow ripples.

Last week was all about color, and this week is all about black & white...

Color photo. At the bottom, short trees with leaves of blazing orange and red. Beyond them are tall green pines. Receding into the distance is a valley with pine covered slopes. At the end of the valley is Mount Rainier, its peak covered in snow and a lenticular cloud hovers over it.

It’s been a couple of years since I made it down to Mount Rainier National Park, and I wanted to do so before they closed the highway on the east side...

Color photo. A thin branch, growing from left to right across the frame. On it are numerous red leaves with yellow veins, backlit and glowing by the unseen sun. In the background are soft circles of green and white.

Light filtering through leaves? One of my favorite things.

Light filtering through autumn leaves? Even better.

Color macro photo. A bee collecting pollen from a flower. The bee is black and yellow, with some white bands on it's abdomen. It is dusted all over with yellow grains of pollen. The flower is purple, with many long thin petals, and a yellow center.

The days are getting shorter, the leaves are changing, and the sun increasingly gives way to clouds.  So long as there are flowers in bloom, though...

Color macro photo. The frame is filled with small flowers. Each has a yellow center and is surrounded by long, thin petals. Many petals have faded to white, but the ones that haven't go from pale purple up to vibrant indigo.

We tend to focus a lot on tree leaves changing, for obvious reasons, but in early Autumn I often find myself drawn to the late summer flowers...

Color macro photo. A tiny black and white jumping spider is seen standing on a rocky surface, looking at the camera. It's two large central eyes are very prominent, as are its fuzzy white chelicerae. Its four front legs are clearly visible.

It's October 1st, which means it is well and truly spooky season. In honor of which, please enjoy this very tiny spider.

Gear: Nikon Z 7II, Nikon 105mm f2.8 VR Macro

Color photo. A woman with long, curly gray hair. She's wearing a purple dress with black bats on it, a black belt, and a necklace with a black and silver pendant. Her left hand is on her hip, and her right hand is holding up the side of her dress. She's smiling.

Fun, impromptu with a dear friend who decided that, given it’s now September, we are now in Spooky Season and the Purple Bat Dress needed to come out.

Color photo. A man in a blue shirt, squatting down. He is holding a tan long hair dachshund in both hands above a blue and white starting line on a dirt race track. The dog is barking.

Late August means shorter days and, apparently, shorter dogs...

Color photo. An adult and a child standing next to each other in shallow water. A small wave is about to break in front of them. The child, barely more than a toddler, has shoulder length blonde hair. They are wearing pink shorts with mud on their behind, and a teal shirt. They are facing away, towards the water, their arms at their sides. The adult is seen from the side, bent over as though to talk to the child. They are wearing a long white cable knit sweater, almost down to their knees, and a large floppy straw hat.

I took this photo of a friend and her friend’s daughter a couple of weeks ago, while out with them doing some tide-pooling...

Color photo. A person with long, dark, curly hair, facing the camera. Their eyes are closed, and the skin of their face is completely covered in splotches of yellow, blue, green, and magenta Holi powder. Most of their hair is also covered, as is the front of their shirt. Next to them and beyond them are many other people, coated in colorful powder splotches.

I am happy to say that my submission to the Kenmore Art Show was accepted, and the photo here will be on display next to some other fantastic pieces!

Color photo. A kayaker at the bottom of the frame, facing away, the right side of their paddle dipped into the water. They are headed up a lane of water that turns a bend to the right at mid-frame. On either side of the lane are green trees, beyond which are tall buildings.

Looking for somewhere new to take my camera, and wanting to scratch my "I love a good wetland" itch, I finally checked out Mercer Slough last Friday...

tbh I love painting gold 💛

Color photo. A spiderweb, seen almost edge-on. The closest strands are out of focus, as are the further strands, leaving the complex geometry in the middle in focus. The strands are golden hued, lit by the out of frame sun. The background is soft, in shades of green.

Sometimes you have to move around a bit to get the angles *just* right...

Color photo. A sky and clouds. On the lower right the sky is golden yellow, tinged with red, and it fades to deep blue in the upper left corner. On the right and left are sparse grey clouds, the bottoms of which are red with the setting sun.

Color photo. At the bottom, the waters of Puget Sound with a sailboat on the left side. The far shore is a dark ribbon, above which are the Olympic Mountains, silhouetted against a golden yellow sky. Immediately above is a line of dark clouds. Above them, the sky is mostly clear and pale blue, dotted with more dark clouds, but behind them are high, wispy lines of cloud turned pink by the setting sun.

Just a couple of shots from my favorite place for sunsets, from a few days ago.

Color photo. A group of tall thin plants, covered in lavender flowerlets, some of which are tipped in red. at the bottom of the two closest are a couple of yellow and black bumblebees collecting nectar.

Still plenty of things flowering at the Bellevue Botanical Garden when I was there on the 20th, and that means the bees were keeping busy...

Color photo. A metal beam, dotted with barnacles. A group of starfish cling to the inside of the beam. One is bright orange and the rest are dark purple.
