Foto Friday – A Painterly Display
I captured this scene of ducks taking flight a couple of months ago.. I like that the birds are still close to the surface of the water. It creates a fun action photo with a lot of splashing as the birds take off. I decided to do something I don't usually do with my...
Foto Friday – A Walk in the Park
The morning sun shining through the lifting fog created this spectacular sight. I made this photo in hopes of capturing the wonder I felt on seeing this scene. I don't think it comes close, but it's a good effort. Look closely for some added fun. Do you see the dog...
Foto Friday – Happy New Year from the Columbia Gorge
I'm back with Foto Friday (after a bit of an hiatus) and starting the new year with a scene from the Columbia Gorge. My friend, Amy Gredler, and I went out there on the second day of the year, a good way to start the new year. This is just one of the many scenes we...
Foto Friday – Autumn in Dramatic Lighting
The lighting credits go to Mother Nature with evening sunlight. All I did was notice and capture it with a short depth-of-field.

Here's another episode in my short hummingbird series. This little guy shows up several times a day to drink up from blossoms on a shrub near my window. It's fun to watch him flit around from flower to flower. Believer me, it's not easy to capture this fast moving...
Foto Friday – Hummingbird Spread His Wings
I know, I've been absent from Foto Friday for a few weeks. Then this little guy graced my window and I had to capture the moment. So, I'm back. And let me tell you, this is really an instant in time. As you probably know, hummingbirds move quickly and they if they do...
Foto Friday – A Glimpse of Mt. Rainier
After living in the Northwest of the U.S. for many, many years, I made my first visit to Mt. Rainier (or the native name, Mt. Tahoma). It's hard to imagine capturing the majesty and awe-inspiring reality in a photo. Here's my inadequate attempt. At least the beautiful...
Foto Friday – Minimalism, Negative Space, and Lighting
My friend, Jace, walks along the shore of one of my favorite places along the west coast of the US, Oswald Beach. The lone figure in a negative space, made up of beach and a cliff wall, creates a pensive mood. I like the minimalism seen here. The beautiful light from...
