Our last trip over the mountains was too late for the red vine maples, but we got the full impact of the golden cottonwoods. We took a walk around Blackbird Island in Leavenworth, then stopped near Winton to take in the aspen groves there. Snow was beginning to creep down from the mountains – winter’sContinue reading “yellow leaves”

Art’s Alive!
Art’s Alive! is this weekend in La Conner, WA! The local artists’ group that I belong to, Skagit Artists Together, is having a show in the Garden Club Building as part of this town-wide art event. We’re doing it as a fine art show but there will also be a gift area with cards andContinue reading “Art’s Alive!”
woodland
When autumn colors are taking over, I do find it interesting to transmute things into black and white occasionally. This woodland was all greeny-yellow with lots of shifting shadows. Monochrome makes it particularly surreal, as if the image was made with an infrared filter. This is how that same woodland path looks in color. WhichContinue reading “woodland”
orange swirl
What happens when you’re trying to take a picture of vivid orange dahlias right when the dog takes off after a squirrel.
autumn fog
We’re back in the season of morning fog. I love wandering down forest paths with mist flowing through the trees, and then climbing up above the marine layer to a sea of white, the islands and foothills poking up through. These photos were taken with my cell phone, which is why they’re a little grainy,Continue reading “autumn fog”

I keep meaning to come over here and add some of my new work, and somehow it keeps slipping my mind. I just decided to go back through my photos from this summer and pulled out some ocean shots I took on our road trip down to California. I had just bought a new cameraContinue reading “ocean views”

Peshastin Creek Gallery show coming soon
In a few weeks I’m looking forward to hanging work for an open house at the Peshastin Creek Gallery in the Wenatchee Valley on Saturday, July 14. My father, Dan Tuttle, will have new paintings on display, and I’ll be showing some of my new abstracts and landscapes, plus handwoven scarves and mug rugs. TheContinue reading “Peshastin Creek Gallery show coming soon”
refraction
This coming weekend one of my photos will be hanging in the juried gallery at the Edmonds Arts Festival – a cropped version of the photo above. I made these images back in March, one bright morning after it had snowed, and the maple trees in my front yard were covered with beads of waterContinue reading “refraction”
a walk in the park
One of my favorite places to walk with my camera is the loop road at Washington Park in Anacortes. Even on a cloudy day there are amazing possibilities for shooting water, trees and flowers. Ferries slide by in the distance, and sometimes the Olympic Mountains make a brief appearance. It’s a remarkable place.
