We took advantage of a pleasant, sunny day in mid-October to go for a hike to see some autumn colors along the Dosewallips River Trail. See detail above and a shot by Wendy Rose below of me taking this shot.
Autumn Leaves
Seattle with Clouds from the Ferry
This photo was taken from the ferry to Seattle from Bainbridge Island. I used my Pentax 645N film camera and Kodak Portra 400 color print film. Yes, I’m still shooting on film some … although most of my photography is digital. I was pretty amazed with the cloud pattern. It was even better in real life.
Rolling Hills
This is just south of Port Townsend, WA on the Larry Scott Memorial (Rails to Trails). This trail is a section of a future hoped for route for hiking or riding across the US …

Waiting for a Ferry — Watching a Sunset
Recently was taking the Edmonds ferry over to Kingston (Washington) to get home after visiting friends in the Seattle area. One of those times when we just missed getting on a ferry and had to wait (only little over 1/2 hour). The advantage was that we were waiting on the dock instead of back in the holding area. This let me walk around, enjoy the pleasant evening and take some photos of the sunset. The individual that is silhouetted standing on the top of the ramp was a ferry worker and I was unable to access that spot, but they provided a nice human interest touch to the image.

Backlit Devil’s Club
Devil’s Club is common in some wet areas in the Olympics (and the Cascades). It can form nearly impenetrable thickets … that may not seem too dense, until you notice the large needle-like thorns covering the stems of the plant. The red berries at the top center are distinctive.
