Cormorant Condo 2009. Photo taken at the Anacortes Ferry Terminal, Anacortes, WA. from the back of an outbound ferry. One of the best pieces of advice I have been given as an amateur photographer is, “be sure to turn around and look behind you”.  This sight doesn’t present itself to the forward facing passenger on […]

San Juan Sunset 2009. Photo taken from the deck of a Washington State Ferry on Puget Sound. The natural beauty of Puget Sound is a balm to my soul. There is a peace and a quiet that settles inside me there. I have vacationed there twice and I think it is a place I could […]

Desert Daisies 2009. Photo taken at the Vantage, Washington scenic overlook on the East side of the Columbia River. Despite its namesake, parts of the Columbia River Basin are hot and dry and dusty. These flowers grew and blossomed among sage brush and rocks, but they could not sustain life in the relentless sun and […]

Strawflower 2009. Photo taken at the Anacortes Ferry Terminal, Anacortes, WA. This little golden beauty grew in a pot at the end of the sidewalk. It shared space with several of it’s brothers and sisters, some flashy Lamb’s Tail Joey, and a few Petunias.

This beauty grows in my Aunt Vera’s garden. She posed prettily for me so I could take her pic. I do not know her formal name — although I was told. I just call her Sunny.

Cluster of Wild Roses 2009. These beauties also grow in my Aunt Vera’s yard. The bush grows wild and free and has gotten so large over the years that the garden path no longer passes by it, but instead detours around it.

Teasel 2009. Weeds need love, too. This is probably one of my favorite photographs. I knew it would be when I framed the shot. This gorgeous plant, almost as tall as I am, is as fierce as it is beautiful and arms itself with vicious spikes. In days past, the plant’s spiky flower was dried […]

Llama 2009. This is Joey. He is a shepherd and cares for the sheep on my Aunt’s & Uncle’s farm. I know he looks like a sweetheart, but many fox and other wild beasties have discovered that he is quite ferocious when protecting his sheep.

Hummingbird Landing 2009. This feeder hangs off the side of my Aunt’s and Uncle’s house. My Aunt estimates that about 30 hummingbirds feed there daily. She is kept busy filling the nectar tank.

Hummingbird Flight 2009. I wanted so badly to get photographs of hummingbirds, but didn’t think my talent was up to capturing any descent shots — luckily my camera was! Here is a hummingbird swooping in for a drink.
