Last week II did some exploring in the mountains around Deception Pass. This was my dream, beautiful wildflowers spread out and leading out the the Puget Sound and the setting sun. These small mountains were sculpted as the ice from the last ice age quickly melted leaving bare rock on the tops of these small mountains that rise from the Puget Sound. Over thousands of years meadows grew in the thin soils, but these environments are sensitive and can quickly disappear in a short period of time with too much traffic. Always tread light and leave no trace.
More locations on highway 2 that I have just drove by! Easy access and plenty of hiking, right off the highway. Taken with an ND64.
The first of November I usually light candles all day long because I like to honor those who have already passed away.
I grew up in a society that approached death with braveness and also tragically. An important part of life revolved around that issue. Mourning was endless; widows wore always black; oil candles remained lighted in front of the portraits of deceased relatives in all the houses. And every single Sunday, families went to cemetery with fresh flowers, they cleaned the tombs, talked and cried a lot.
There was not a conversation during my childhood where dead ancestors were not present. I know so many names and anecdotes of persons that I have never met… but I love those fragment of my story and somehow I feel that they have helped me to define myself.
Little by little, while religious pressure decreased and society was modernized those customs started to give way to a more relaxed way of life, they commenced to be forgotten and now many persons -whose number is increasing- are starting to celebrate Halloween.
I don´t know why, but this last fact drives me crazy. (...)

Washington State - The Deception Pass Bridge is a two-lane bridge connecting Whidbey Island to Fidalgo Island. It was a Public Works Administration project built by workers from the Conservation Corps.
Another deception that I found from the book “Deception on the plate” is Vanilla. We are told that we eat vanilla ice cream but often there's no real vanilla in it, but vanillin, which can be made from lignin a byproduct of the pulp and paper industry.
And according to this book Japanese have developed a way to extract lignin from a "byproduct" of cows, but the vanillin made from that isn't going to be used on any food, but for example in cheaper perfumes and creams.
So next time you buy vanilla ice cream check that it contains real thing :)
For MacroMondays theme "Deception"
This Island, first mapped by a Corkman, Edward Bransfield, is volcanic and was active as recently as 1969.
The Deception Pass Bridge is a two-lane bridge on Washington State Route 20 connecting Whidbey Island to Fidalgo Island in the U.S. state of Washington.
The bridge, one of the scenic wonders of the Pacific Northwest, is actually two spans, one over Canoe Pass to the north, and another over Deception Pass to the south. Construction began in August 1934, and the completed bridge was dedicated at noon on July 31, 1935. The Wallace Bridge and Structural Co. of Seattle, Washington provided 460 tons of steel for the 511-foot Canoe Pass arch and 1130 tons for the 976-foot Deception Pass span. The cost of the New Deal-era construction was $482,000, made possible through the Public Works Administration and county funds.
Macro Monday: Theme - Deception
Happy Monday! The macro+extension tubes shows us nature in a completely different way than how we normally view things around us. The images produced can be very deceptive. This is a hibiscus stigma that reminds me of antennae that might belong to a strange or alien bug.
Is it weird that I have favorite trees? There are 4 trees that come to mind but this is probably my all time favorite.
Canon 6D w/ 40mm f2.8 STM
Testing out my new hiking lens. Linked together Tonga Ridge, Fisher Lake and Deception Creek trail for a fantastic hike. This little pancake lens paired nicely with the 6D for a decently light setup. So far I'm quite impressed.
Having fun with my toys again. Sorry for being absent. I spent the weekend recuperating and I feel much better. Thanks for all the well wishes!!
for Macro Mondays theme : Deception
last nite i watched the tourist...
i dont know... i love salt than this one...
... love the way she handle things...
The credit for this goes to an image I saw on the net today and my wife, who despite being tired after work, put up with me for this.. she's awesome, and I love her.
So, like I said I saw a shot like this on the net, and thought if I could do it. Realized how challenging it is when the basement is full of crap and toys and stuff and space is so limited.. aaargghhh.. anyhow, we pulled it off and I'm quite happy with the result.
Hey, at least you don't have to see my scare face, right?? That's got to be a big bonus..!!!!
