Butterflies

Here come the butterflies!

Seattle at Night

A few pictures from gasworks park of the Seattle lights at night. The space needle looks great but the clouds look ominous!

Another great portrait

Although it looks like photography it is really science.

Space Needle

This is an unusual view from the Experience Music Project side of Seattle Center.

Portrait of a cube

Seafair Parade, Seattle

As usual, I took many pictures of the parade - but who could resist the giant floating fish? 

Blue Angels

I was pleased to watch the show from campus in Seattle, rather than while trying to cross the bridges. More pictures are here.

Agility

Sienna was kind enough to let me come to Agility class with her. That dog can jump!

Chicken Story

Well these are not really photographs, but I finally finished the chicken story. You can see the still frame version here.

Golden Retriever

A beautiful dog that I enjoyed taking a few portraits for. 

Camas Prairie, Idaho

A drive through the Camas Prairie in Idaho. Great views of the camas bloom and the bird life.

Hurricane Ridge, Olympic National Park

Late snow, just like the rest of the Northwest. The cross country folks were out enjoying the cloudy weather. Gallery here.

Olympic National Park Coastline

Most of this gallery is simply the coastal views, but they are grand. More pictures here.

Hoh Rainforest

University of Washington in the spring. Clearly this post is about 2 months late, but the cherry blossoms were amazing.

Pow Wow

This is a late post, but a fun event. The University of Washington organizes this event every year and it is spectacular.

Skagit Valley Tulip Festival

The tulip festival was great this year. Many of the photos show the rain, but the tulips were colorful and starting to open.

Munchkin

Another fun photo session with a small munchkin. Or maybe it was just the outfit ....

Last Snow

Perfect for a late sledding trip at snoqualamie.

The Tiger

A fun trip to the Seattle zoo. We saw the timber wolves, which is rare and the usual favorite monkeys and more.

Snowmobiles

We went up past Walla Walla to the Blue Mountains for what is probably the last snowmobile ride of the year. Started out foggy but ended well. Gallery is here.

Carousel

Just a few photos of the horses on the carousel. Only two tokens to ride!

Skateboarder

This guy was great. He did flips and slides all over the square for us. His skateboard rarely stayed on the ground for more than a few minutes. Gallery is here.

Sad Mime

I took a set of mime photos expressing sadness, love, surprise, etc. My model did a super job and if you aren't scared of clowns this is a fun set.

Aquarium trip

Many great photos of sea otters, fish, crabs, etc but I thought this one of Nemo was the most fun.

Big Jump, lots of air

He had at least 4 feet of air and he stuck the landing. What's not to love about snowboarding?

Fall Color

Leaves, leaves, and more leaves.

Welcome Back!

Ah, well I have been gone a while. Welcome back to me and you. Sorry for the vacation, school started and things have been crazy!

In fact, I have a great photo that conveys the spirit of campus.

Body Boarders (Big Beach)

More Maui photos, these boarders were awesome!

Maui Ocean Center

Great fun - go if you have time! In this case we caught feedings of the sharks, the octopus, and tons of fish.

Flowers of Maui

This is actually a close up of a banana flower on Maui. Gallery includes orchids and more flowers...

Ioe Valley

Part of the same fabulous trip to Maui. Rainy and beautiful Ioe valley.

Snorkeling with Turtles

Amazing - they are awesome creatures. We saw at least one turtle each day. Gallery is here.

Machines

I took a batch of photos of farm equipment and engines.

Zoo

Well all the normal sights, but we had a fun time with the bear! (Normally they are sleeping)

Been gone a while

We snuck in a short vacation so I am long behind on the posts (and the post-processing). This is a late one from the fair before we left.

This was a beautiful wedding in Newberg, OR. The party was fun!

Another beautiful wedding. This one was held in La Conner, Washington.
