Weeping Willow Lunch

Weeping Willow Lunch

I don’t know who these women were and I don’t know if they were actually having lunch. But it was the right time of day for it and it makes a better story in a lovely setting. This pond and willow are at the Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island.

Here’s a reminder:

I have a book available on the Kindle site. It is a memoir titled 60 Years of Hiking in the Olympics. It has over 100 photographs and covers more than 100 different hikes and backpacks. I have it priced to share at $2.99 (US).

Wrong Time of Year

Backlit Autumn Colors

I was going through my photo archive looking for photos that the new editing tools might be able to ‘fix’ … when I found this one that didn’t even need fixing. Not sure why I didn’t share it before, and didn’t want to wait until October to share it. So, here it is now in early summer / late spring. Just a reminder to enjoy the warm weather while we have it.

That reminds me of my Uncle Dave commenting to my Aunt Maisie after the June Solstice, that the days were getting shorter. They lived in Alaska, so thinking of the coming short days was not something folks liked to do in June. My Aunt would just reply “Stop it!” … although she had lived with him long enough that she didn’t really expect him to quit.

It all depends on which way you look…

Looking NE towards Mt Baker

I thought these photos were all interesting … even without the fact that they were all taken from about the same spot. (not on the same day) They are all taken from Marrowstone Island, which is just southeast of Port Townsend, WA. The body of water is Puget Sound. I like the variation in mood between these. I especially like the stormy weather shot just below that has the grass blowing into a blur.

I should add that these are all shot on film. The black and white on Tri-X and the color on Portra 400. The black and whites were shot using a Nikon F100 and the color using a Nikon F75.

Raccoons

Raccoon eating blackberries

We’ve got raccoons in the neighborhood … and I think we’ve got one that comes up onto our deck and get water out of the dog’s water dish. (if the dog could learn to drink water with a straw, maybe the water dish could be inside again) The worst, of course is when the dog notices the raccoon on the deck and reacts with manaical barking in the middle of the night. Regardless, the raccoons can pose well and they aren’t as camera shy as many other critters.

Who? Me?
