Traveling by food

Some of my best memories of travel involve food. I finally got the few photos I've taken along the way into one place: https://flic.kr/s/aHsksaH8JK If you weren't hungry before looking, I'll bet you are after! Excuse me, I have to go get some lunch. Sign in to see full entry.

Walking Against the Light

Some years ago, I took a walk through Watershed Park in Olympia, Washington. It was an autumn afternoon with the sunlight cutting down through the rainforest, lighting the leaves like lamps and creating soft and hard shadows along the 1.4 mile system of trails. I made the images into a book, but was... Sign in to see full entry.

Oh my!

I have a flashdrive now containing files from the old computers of years past, before I moved out to Colorado. They are both writing and photos, material that will be finding its way here via Flickr in days to come, of travels and flowers and critters and skies... You know the kind of stuff I take...

Past travels: Unique Singapore

Once again, having stayed home since the Seattle trip, we will go back a few years to my Singapore trip, a month hanging with Marika and Oliver in their first overseas move. Some cities are noted for having lovely gardens in them. Singapore is more like a garden with a city in it. It is also super-... Sign in to see full entry.

journeys to the past

I haven't added anything here since August, so I figure it's time to pull something from the bazillions of images I have stored in Flickr. This is my most recent vist to Walley Abbey, from my visit this past January. If you are inclined to play judge, feedback would be more than welcome, as I am... Sign in to see full entry.

Seattle in Summer

It has such a reputation for being one of the nation's most dismal and rainy places... but in fact, in the thirty+ years of my experience here, it is those drear and rainy days and weeks that pay for the rich, lush greens of summer. In fact, summer in the Puget Sound area can be positively idyllic,... Sign in to see full entry.

so many photos...!

The more I look at the photos in the contest (see previous post) the more I pin down the things I know, or think I know, about photography. Every really good photo needs a few specific things: subject, composition, focus, and lighting are the technical issues, but a really great photo also has to... Sign in to see full entry.

Pike's Peak evening...

https://www.flickr.com/gp/therovingeye/S2Hkx7 and if you keep on down the stream, you'll come to the new hat I just finished for Elsa, though not actually on Elsa... and the frost-blighted leaves of the big maple off my deck. Sign in to see full entry.
