This pampas grass caught my attention with the wind blowing it around. While I wouldn’t call it colorful, it is a nice wintertime change from all the bare limbs and dead plants.
Blowing in the Wind
Sunset over Capitol Lake
Capitol Lake is a man-made lake in Olympia, Washington, designed to reflect the state capitol building on the hillside to the left of this image. I used to frequently walk around the lake and watch nature and people. I was always amazed at the number of people that would be walking and totally oblivious to the incredible skies and cloudscapes.
Weary Walker
I was out walking and found myself behind this gentleman. His posture just said “weariness” to me. A life well-lived, but circumstances that worn him down.
Just the stories we tell ourselves.

Winter Bench
I took this image a while ago, but it has always been one that just yells LONELY
This is not a cry for company.. I was just going through my images looking for an images that conveyed the word “emotion” for a photo share group. I didn’t pick this one, but ended up with a couple that I thought evoked an emotion, rather than an image that depicted one.

Fortuitous Accident
I really like it when you screw up and it turns out to be fortuitous.
I was in a little hurry and got the photo paper in the printer upside down. When it came out of the printer, I knew immediately what I had done, but my response was very positive towards the resulting image. The problem with this as a regular process to create images is that the ink doesn’t dry for weeks and weeks. I finally had it dry enough so it wouldn’t smudge too much … but still had to put it inside a plastic sleeve in order to keep the ink from covering the scanner glass.
The original image was posted on a page here.
Camera: well, that’s a good question… um, a flat bed scanner
