The happy life does not mean loving what we possess, but possessing what we love. Possession of what we love takes place in an act of cognition, in seeing, in intuition, in contemplation.

This is another shot from our trip to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State last September. I'm having fun digging through the archives. When I zoomed right into the orginal image, I could see that she was holding a shell, not a cell :)
Basalt formations near Mt. Baker. This was taken with a 25 second exposure by the light of the moon. Finding the right focus was a challenge. There was not enough light for autofocus and not enough light for me to see clearly for manual focus. I shot a dozen and hoped for the best. The rest were deleted due to the focus issue.
I know, I know, another Rainier shot. Told ya I was out! :-)
taken just after the alpenglow died off, liked this spot better but just missed that golden couple minutes. taken above Shadow Lake, Sunrise area.
I put a box where the climbers are, unfortunately on here you can only see the blazed trail, but in lightroom I can see them well enough to count them. :-)
I was able to put the cropped version in comments, kinda cool.
Photographed from from my driveway. Smoke from the many wildfires has been hanging over the Yakima Valley off and on, mostly on, for the past week or so causing the sun the be brilliant orange just before sundown. IMG_8163
The first time I photographed this leucistic bird was November 9, 2020. Backyard birds, Yakima County, Washington. We got a trace of snow last night early this morning. IMG_8558
An old retired snowplow quietly resting along NF 23 heading in to Gifford Pinchot National Forest near Randle, Washington.
Armed only with a mug of coffee this chap looked as though he was playing the part. Spotted taking some shelter from the baking hot sunshine in the old town of Winthrop, Washington State.
These chaps have to be able to see around corners so I thought I'd give him a little help by skewing the scene.
Ships waiting on the Columbia River for tide change. so they hang out watch the sunset before heading out in the morning either to the Pacific Ocean just beyond the bridge or turn and head on down river.
The Columbia River, known as international waters divides Oregon and Washington States..this was taken in Astoria on the Oregon side, across the river landmass is Washington State.
Thanks for your visits, compliments, invites & faves ~ much appreciated.

Tulips growing in my flower garden, Yakima County, Washington. A few of the blossoms were damaged by a long spell of unseasonable cold weather. I believe it got below freezing 5 consecutive nights. IMG_7797
A little sun trying to burn through the fog at the east end of Riffe Lake near what was once the town of Kosmos, Washington.
Yesterday (October 20) there were about 30 California Quail in my back yard, which is an average number. The quail on the ground (3rd photo in this series) has an injured leg and has been around since the first of August. It hops on one leg so it is easy to distinguish from the other quail. IMG_4892
A Ferry arrives at the Ferry Terminal in Seattle photographed from the Ferry on which I'm traveling out into Elliot Bay.
Photographed at my home. I love those red eyes. I have been taking and photographing more than my share of Sharp-shinned Hawks but what is a person to do when they show up in your back yard and pose. I don't want them to feel ignored. This is the only adult that I have seen in my yard. A juvenile sharpie has been a regular visitor recently. IMG_6766
Aerial view of the beautiful Skagit Valley. The Skagit Valley is home to the largest commercial flower bulb industry outside of Holland.
