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.
yellow leaves
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”
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”
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”
ocean views
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”
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.
October in the valley
Last week we had a couple of surprisingly beautiful days before the rain set in again, and I took advantage of the weather to drive out and about on the Skagit Flats. A low autumn fog had rolled in onto the farmlands, so I found myself a high perch on a ridge overlooking Edison andContinue reading “October in the valley”
California road trip
A couple of weeks ago my husband and I drove down to California to visit family. I took a lot of pictures out of the window of a moving car, as so often seems to happen when we’re in a hurry, but I did get to wander the beach and wharf at Capitola, near SantaContinue reading “California road trip”
