Color photo. A brilliant red maple leaf, pointing towards the viewer, its near end slightly out of focus. Behind it, are other red maple leaves growing from the same barely seen branch. Behind them all is a soft dappling of red and orange light.

Color photo. An earthen path with tufts of grass growing in the middle leads up from the bottom of the frame. It curves slightly to the left before disappearing into a mass of magenta flowers and green trees at mid-frame. On either side of the path is golden grass, dotted with tall clumps of magenta, pink, and white flowers. The deep blue sky is filled with long lines of puffy white clouds matching the angle of the path below.

Happy Solstice! First day of summer for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, and thus the longest day of the year. I've never been much of a "Summer" person (Autumn is my favorite season...

Color photo of clouds in the sky. On the left, they are thick and dark, but an angled gap reveals the bright light of the hidden sun. In the middle and the right, thin wispy clouds are present. A rainbow arc, barely visible, is on the extreme right of the frame.

Color photo. A plant growing out of a crack in a lichen covered rock. The plant has a long orange stem that fades to yellow-green at the end, where it splits out into a cluster of flowers with green and yellow petals. The stem is has a collection of small leaves growing from it that match the color of the part of the stem they grow from. The base, at the crack, is a collection of larger orange leaves, with smaller green ones beside them.

Since all of the photos in the last post were black & white, I figured I'd do a post of colorful photos from the same trip.  🙂 All of these were taken at Deception Pass State Park, mos...

The last week has been fairly quiet on the photography front, so I went looking through my library to find something to post that I hadn't shown yet. Which is when I realized I'd done a whole ...

Color photo. A tall sea stack, roughly triangular, at Ruby Beach on Washington state's Olympic Peninsula. It rises, golden gray rock dotted with green grasses, above a blue gray rocky strip of beach. The sky beyond it is a golden white. A gap through the stack, at its bottom on the left, is lit golden by the setting sun hidden behind the stack. Rays of sunlight pour through this gap, lighting a path in the rocky beach.
