Lake Serene

If you've ever been in Washington, driven Hwy 2 through Index, stared up at the granite peaks towering above the roadway and wondered what's up there....this is it :)

Goodbye To Summer

Summer is a promissory note signed in June, its long days spent and gone before you know it, and due to be repaid next January.

Sunset And A Party

My son and I got a chance to spend the evening on the beach with some amazing local photographers along with spouses and kids. It was fantastic to hang around the fire with some great people. Sometime near sunset, a few of us scrambled along the seawall down to the Ferry terminal for a quick shoot. The sun had barely dipped below the horizon when I turned in my camera for a marshmallow on a stick. You have to have your priorities.....

Rubeckia

This is one of those images I fiddled with for nearly an hour before it dawned on me that it might just work in black & white. There is now a sticky note on the side of my computer screen reminding me to try that option a little sooner
