The other day I needed to get the tripod out to take some pictures for my other blog, and while I had it out I decided to play around with some macro shots. My husband bought me this gorgeous bouquet from the farmer’s market for my birthday, full of dahlias and statice, and I experimentedContinue reading “colors of late summer”

sunflowers
I didn’t take as many pictures over the long weekend at my parents’ house as I thought I might, I was just too tired. I did spend some time with my mother’s sunflowers, though, as they were in full bloom and attracting all sorts of cute bees. To my surprise, this was my favorite imageContinue reading “sunflowers”
ready, set, go!
I know I haven’t been here much lately, but I had a few small things to attend to…like finally quitting my day job, then working like crazy to get everything together for the show I’m hanging tomorrow at Peshastin Creek Gallery. I’ve managed to shoot a few pictures for my food blog, but that’s beenContinue reading “ready, set, go!”
golden hop
The golden hop vine in our back yard is endlessly interesting to me as a subject. Every year it races up its trellis and tangles its way across the top, occasionally looping back down, catching in the rosebush, creeping through gaps in the fence, or heading straight up in the air. It’s beautiful against aContinue reading “golden hop”
golden chard
You hear a lot about “the golden hour” in photography – that moment in the day when the sun is getting low but not quite setting, and the sunlight takes on a brilliant golden cast that makes everything look magical for just a few fleeting minutes. A few days ago I happened to look outContinue reading “golden chard”
playing with monochrome
I’ve been spending more and more time playing with different monochrome settings in my post processing. I love how it brings out textures and makes familiar objects seem suddenly foreign. Some images simply don’t work in black and white, while others, sometimes rather dull color images, suddenly come to life when I shift them over.Continue reading “playing with monochrome”
feather grass
We have this gigantic ornamental grass (Stipa gigantea, if you want to know)in the front yard that has just burst into bloom. Rain has bowed the stems down so we walk through the little dangling flowers going to and from the front steps, and I was determined that the first time the sun came outContinue reading “feather grass”
pink
It rained a lot last week. I had driven to work one day and was walking through the parking lot when I saw a pink rhododendron that was shedding its flowers all over the pavement. I decided getting the shot was more important than trying to keep my camera dry.
flower bokeh
I generally save my flower shots for my garden blog, but I wanted to share this one here because I think it’s just so gosh-darned pretty. Every year there’s one white California poppy that comes up amid the regular orange ones in our front garden, and I love how this shot captures the texture andContinue reading “flower bokeh”
