Visions of the Past and Present

Color photo. Three one year old lion cubs, lying on a metal platform. They are tawny, with fading spots on their sides, legs, and belly. The further two are half sitting up and looking to the left. The closest is lying on its side and is staring ahead. They look very pettable.

2026-09-01

This past weekend the Cougar Mountain Zoo's three lion cubs celebrated their first birthday, and I swung by to get some photos of the occasion. I missed the whip-cream smeared windows in th...

2026-08-24

I recently took a walk through Seattle's Volunteer Park in the late afternoon, and their Dahlia Garden was a riot of brilliant blooms. There were many different varieties, in so many shapes...

Color photo. A wooden bench next to a paved path. It is night, and there is a bright lamppost visible through a gap in the trees around the bench and path. The bench catches the light, but the trees and ground around it are in deep shadow. The photo is in color, but the colors are muted.

Spooky season is right around the corner, and that was on my mind when I took this photo last night.  Folks like their skulls and bats, but my favorite kind of spooky is bleak and full of drea...

Color photo. A wide view of the Olympic Mountains at sunset. The setting sun is lowering behind a peak on the right, with a thick wisp of cloud extending into it from below. The mountains are successive ranks of ever darker shadow across the middle of the frame. Above them is the sky full of wispy cloud, and below them are the waters of Puget Sound. Sky and water mirror each other's brightness and color. Sailboats dot the water.

"Every new beginning is some other beginning's end" Words I've been thinking about recently, from the song "Closing Time" by Semisonic.  I've wanted to incorporate them into a tattoo for a ...

Color photo. A golden shaft of wheat-like grass, growing up between the rails of a wooden fence that recedes into the distance to the right. It is on the shaded side of the fence, but is brightly lit by sunlight passing between the fence rails.
July 24th, 2026: Friday's (Fence) Post
2026-07-24

Strong side lighting, and a fence to create shadows for contrast?  Yes, please. Add some glowing spiderwebs (and a backlit spider, for good measure)?  That's a happy place, for sure. Gea...

Color photo. A flat topped wooden railing extends up from bottom of the frame. It is unpainted, and worn from exposure. A large crack snakes up the middle of the railing, extending into the blurred distance. The railing is part of a walkway extending into a lush green wetland, and ends at a fenced viewing platform.

2026-07-21

Juanita Bay Park is a pretty place with lots of nature to see, but during a late afternoon walk there the thing that kept drawing my eye was man-made. The warm sunlight on the brown wood, a...

Color photo. A Bald Eagle, perched at the top of a bare, dead tree. It is facing to the right, lit by the sun. To the right another bare, dead tree is visible.
July 4th, 2026: Independence Day
2026-07-04

Given the holiday in the US, it seems like a good time to post a couple of Bald Eagle photos. For related reasons, this morning I also re-read the poem "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus, w...

July 1st, 2026: Canada Day
2026-07-01

July 1st means it's once again Canada Day! I don't have any sugar maples near where I live now, in the Seattle area, but there's a silver maple in the park down the street.  I gathered a le...
