It’s December and you know what that means – it is sorta like fall here for a couple of weeks. Anyway, I went to the lake to shoot wildlife but they have had the park open for deer hunting during the week and all the deer were either hiding or in someone’s freezer. So, I… Read More Fall
I went to the fish hatchery Sunday morning to practice wildlife photography. The Inks Dam National Fish Hatchery is run by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and is open to the public. I was worried that it might be closed due to the current situation of extreme incompetence of our Congress, but the gates… Read More Six Birds
Haven’t had a lot to post lately as I have been doing a lot of non-photography related things. But anyway, here are some butterflies from my backyard. In the middle of summer, I impulse-bought a bag of wildflower seed to throw in my large planter by the back fence. Didn’t know what to expect, but… Read More Butterfly Garden
Rialto beach on the Pacific coast is part of Olympic National Park. And after the girls had fun seeing Forks, the setting of the Twilight movies, we drove down to the beach. It was a gray day but not raining. I doubt anyone would want to go swimming here anyway as the water is cold.… Read More Gray Day on Rialto Beach
I didn’t get to do a lot of hiking at Olympic National Park either as I was mainly entertaining the girls. I did however take one day to myself and went hiking and let the girls entertain themselves in Port Angeles. Port Angeles is a very walkable town with a lot of shops and places… Read More Hurricane Ridge
As you may have guessed from my previous post, I went to Mount Rainier National Park after hanging around in Seattle for a couple of days. I was on a trip with my three girls so I didn’t have any delusions about going out and spending all day hiking and taking beautiful photos. What photos… Read More Mount Rainier from the Road
I went to the park to shoot birds, but the pond was empty of birds. So, I wandered around the pond and saw a lot of dragonflies, which aren’t all that interesting photographically I guess. I was going to give up and go back home until I came across a scene of several dragon flies… Read More Dragonflies
Another sunrise at the wildlife refuge. And another sunrise without much in the way of clouds. It’s a pretty good hike up to this location but it is my favorite location for dawn. Half the time I wake up well before 5:30 AM anyway (thank you recent development of insomnia), so there was not much… Read More Sunrise and Stumps
Lately I have been thinking about making a personal project out of shooting deer at Inks Lake State Park. There are a lot of deer there and I usually see them at dusk when I am hiking back to my truck, but not during the daytime hours. There are also a few deer blinds that… Read More My Deer Friends
A couple of weeks ago I published a blog post about my recent experience becoming a widower. It was the most personal thing I have ever shared publicly. Many people who read it got together and have sent me gifts and I want to tell you all thank you. It is nice to be thought… Read More Thanks and Sunlight
