The mellow month of September is almost at an end, and the glorious colors of October are starting to appear. Seasons change, treasure each and every day.

 

"We know that in September, we will wander through the warm winds of summer's wreckage. We will welcome summer's ghost."

~ Henry Rollins

A mossy meadow along the Dungeness River.

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 to be brilliant orange just before sundown. IMG_8165

Pacific Crest Trail hike (15.7 mile round trip; 2500 elevation gain) from White Pass to Shoe Lake. Some of the trail is in Lewis County and some in Yakima County, Washington. Plenty of wildflowers, scenic view when near Shoe Lake, and of course the usual population of hungry mosquitoes. Also, most of the trail is in the Goat Rocks Wilderness. IMG_5206

Here is a quick post of an image of Snoqualmie Falls from yesterday. A medium runoff due to some of the rain we have had over the past few days. I am sure this will be at a trickle come summer as we have hardly had any snow this winter.

 

This is a combination of three images (-2,0,+2) merged and tonemapped in Photomatix. I have a client who wants a nice shot of Snoqualmie falls, but did not want the "Painted" look like I normally have in a lot of my images. So I made sure the processing was scaled way back and I pulled back the saturation a bit. I sharpend a little and upped the clarity and increased the contrast a little.

 

Thank you for your views, comments and faves. I appreciate the time you take looking at my photography and I apologize that I cannot always reciprocate.

Continuing on with responsible social distancing and finding things within walking distance of home.

The Big Cedar is 9 ½ feet in diameter and approximately 500 years old. Another lovely hidden gem of my hometown and the closest thing to a trailhead I've had in nearly a month. :)

The island is bathed in warm springtime "sweet light" during a springtime sunset.

I rarely see two male hummingbirds together. They sat side by side for a very short time. I was lucky to fire off a couple of shot before one of them disappeared. This was in my back yard, Yakima County, Washington. One of the rare days recently that I was able to see blue sky. IMG_0625

When does this volcano ever not look amazing? I am forever in awe... If you didn't know, today, 5/18/16.is the 36th anniversary of the eruption of Mt. St. Helens here in Washington State.

It was amazing to watch.

Wandering Washington's less traveled roads on the way to the largest concrete structure in North America. More to follow on that. Living here my entire life I still can't get enough of the varied landscapes that are present within our borders.

Dark clouds and rain returned shortly after the photo was taken. That quality of light lasted only a few minutes.

Morning drive to work got delayed by Sun coming up underneath clouds. With lenticular clouds on both sides of the summit and a cloud cap on top.
