winter walks

The last couple of weeks have gone through quite a range of weather. One morning the dog and I climbed up Little Mountain, hearing wild geese call through the dense mist, emerging at the very top into blue sky with snowy mountains poking up out of the fog. Another day we left the gray riverContinue reading “winter walks”

solo show at The Table

Next week I hang another solo show, this time at The Table in Bellingham. It’s the restaurant run by the Bellingham Pasta Company, and they have kindly offered me their wall for the month of February. There’s no official reception, but you can stop by any time during regular restaurant hours, including the first FridayContinue reading “solo show at The Table”

cold and clear

We’ve had some cold, bright days here over the last couple of weeks. The dog and I drove out towards the foothills one morning and found a pretty side road with views of Mount Baker, farms and frosty fields. I don’t feel like I quite got the shot I was hoping for but it wasContinue reading “cold and clear”

snow

We were over in the Wenatchee Valley a couple of weeks ago, just in time to enjoy a two foot snowpack of fresh powder. The dog adored it, and we had just enough good weather in between snowfalls for me to get outside with the camera.

winter slough

I don’t always remember to take one of my DSLRs with me on walks, so I’m particularly grateful for the camera in my cell phone. I might have missed getting this image of Big Indian Slough where it runs into Padilla Bay, with winter sunlight glowing on the water.

December show

My show of fruit and vegetable photography is up at the Skagit Co-op! Their mezzanine is a great place to hang art, and I love how my pieces look on the colored walls. The show is up until Friday, December 28, and everything there is for sale (don’t forget I can do any photo inContinue reading “December show”

Skagit Valley Food Co-op show coming soon

This Friday I’m putting up a show right here in Mount Vernon, at the Skagit Valley Food Co-op. For the month of December my photographs will be on the walls all along the mezzanine above the deli, and given the setting I’ve decided on food as the subject – mostly abstract and/or macro shots ofContinue reading “Skagit Valley Food Co-op show coming soon”

red vines

The fence that separates our garden from the neighbors’ is well festooned with vines. Climbing hydrangea is planted on my side but tendrils crawl through holes and over the top onto their yard, while gorgeous Boston ivy weaves its way through the fence cracks from their garden into mine. It’s pretty and not invasive likeContinue reading “red vines”

Producer’s Night at the Lincoln

From the Lincoln Theatre in Mount Vernon: “Friday, November 16, 6:30-9:30 p.m. is Producer’s Night – Blues Brothers style! Producer’s Night is our most popular event of the year, and will include a live and silent auction, hors d’oeuvres, drinks and a chance to win a cash door prize – all to benefit the Lincoln. LiveContinue reading “Producer’s Night at the Lincoln”

equestrian adventures

This was a different sort of project for me – I had the opportunity to write a piece for the Cascadia Weekly on a local, mobile horseback riding instruction business called Rolling Stone Equestrian. I observed one lesson, then took one myself – the first time I’d been on a horse in approximately one millionContinue reading “equestrian adventures”
