Wing feathers are out to dry in an early winter afternoon.

This was a color photo that was not very interesting. I bumped up the color saturation to darken the edges and bring out some contrast on the over-exposed feathers. Then I converted to black and white. To top it off I blurred the edges to bring focus to the head. I had planned to reset everything to the original settings. But I like this and so here it is.

These mushrooms were growing on the side of a tree next to a popular trail. I watched them sprout and grow to this size. Bohnli says the look like Streusel buns, a Swiss treat. I hiked the same trail a week later to find that someone had smashed the mushrooms to bits with a stick.

Salmonberry flower.

The Twin Sisters. The North Twin is on the left and the South Twin on the right. This is the largest chunk of Olivine in the world. The North Twin is a favorite for climbers and off piste skiers.

Mt. Shuksan and the path to the sledding hill. The snow bank if taller than the adults, which is normal. This was a fairly good year for snow, but we have had much deeper here.

Autumn is coming.

This was found on the path to Lake Ann. I love that trail!

A couple walks the path along the water in Vancouver, BC.

The Mountaineers Cabin at Mt. Baker. The roof takes on a bit of weight in the winter. It all acts as insulation. Just don't stand under the eaves! This is the base camp for many of my Shuksan and Exploer's Club photos. Table Mountain in the background, to the right.

Papillon.

From the archives. This was about a year ago while cross country skiing.

This is a Best of 2019. Not so much Squirrels, to get some variety
