Happy New Year

from "our house"

A little photo shop fun on a snowy day.

Looking back on old shots

A summer moonrise

On a Clear Day You CAN See Forever . . .

. . . at least you can see almost to Seattle.

Double click on this photo and the small (at least it appears small) snow-covered mountain to the left is Mt. Rainier; to the right is what remains of Mt. St. Helens. This shot was taken from the St. John's Bridge in NW Portland, 100+ miles away, last January, but it looked just like this again today.
(Forgive me for not hiking to mid-span on the bridge
in 20 mile per hour winds to get an identical shot.)

Sorry for the long absence.

It's been a very busy holiday season.

I hope to be back regularly in the new year. . .

with new equipment:):):):):):)

Merry Christmas from Portland.

Yellow canopy

So peaceful

JUMP!

Just out for a run . . .

a fall salmon run that is.

peek a boo

Cold October air

What a peaceful place to rest.

Grandkids and fall leaves.

Does it get any better than this?

An old fashioned cider press coming

next weekend.

Color FINALLY starting to come to the Grist Mill

More slow water

...and then there are the babies.

Cinderella, your carriage awaits.

Cinderella pumkins at Sauvie Island Farms

     Beauty and the Beast

Kale cabbage

At our house, it becomes deer food.

Oh, that you could smell these.

Summer lingers on

Remnants of summer

BIG STUFF

Late bloomers

Leaves as big as your head

Fall salmon run

Like butter

My favorite time of year

Autumn

One leaf at a time

Got bored on a rainy day.

Probably lots more to come.

The water is falling from the sky today,

in addition to over the rocks.

Fall will soon come to the Gorge,

as will the rain.

Just playing around

Experiments in black and white

Still to come

Autumn--at last

A very welcome sight

A VERY blue Monday

Small signs of the coming of fall

Back to the Gorge

After the fog lifts

Summer green

Cuddling up at low tide

So serene

This week the sun sets on our sailing season.

The end of the dahlias

Dahlias, dahlias, and more dahlias

Reaching for the sun--to no avail

All dahlias--All week

The edge of an American Beauty
