I mostly like grouse. I get a little bit annoyed with them when they fly up into my face to chase me away from their young. If they weren’t so well camouflaged, maybe I would see them and wouldn’t get startled so much. Anyway, enjoy these photos …
I was up on Dodger Point in the Olympic National Park in June when all the Avalance Lilies were in bloom. It was amazing. I’m not concerned about having a lot of other folks heading up there and having the meadow distroyed by wildflower fans. Currently it’s a 18 mile hike to get to this location, and 10 miles of that is a continuous uphill … not really steep, but just continual up.
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.
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.
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 …
This was taken with a Pentax 645N film camera on Kodak Portra 400.
