*Disclaimer* In this blog post I discuss my optometry practice in Yakima WA and why it closed and the great loss that is for me. If you would rather just look at the photographs you can skip to the end and view the gallery. 🙂 One of the many things I was looking forward to …
This trails system isn’t a single trail rather it is made up of multiple trail loops that you can put together to form a long or a short hike. The hike I did is on All Trails called Mountain Goat, Raven, Wolf, Bear and Wolverine Loop. This sign is by the middle school side as …
Hiked the Centennial Trail in the Kenai Wildlife refuge from the visitors center today. It is the same hike Taunya and I did in April. Beautiful fall day today, overcast and had been raining earlier but very pleasant temperature to hike. Unfortunately I didn’t see any moose on my hike. I say a bunch of …
They say it takes 10000 hours to master something. My Mom is a master quilter. One of the best I’ve seen. She has won multiple awards at quilt shows all over the state of Utah including best in show at the Utah State Fair. Here is her latest quilt to earn an award of excellence …
Here are some photos I took of my daughter Ella’s graduation on June 6th.
One of the last shots that I took before heading home. The Oak Creek feeding station is just outside of Yakima, WA as you head down hwy 12. Here they feed some of the elk in the area through out the winter. There were about 600 elk at the station this afternoon. I was listening …
As the first day in Colorado came to a close we found ourselves at the Mt. Sneffels view from earlier in the day for sunset. This is a time of day that I’ve never photographed this location from. The shadows and sharp contrasts made for some interesting shots. From slightly earlier in the evening when …
Here is the second installment of my photos from my trip in October 2022 to Ridgeway CO and the San Juan Mountains for fall foliage photography. When I have been to a place multiple times to photograph there are a couple of conflicting priorities for me. One is that I want to recreate previous photos …
Sunrise is the most difficult time to photograph in my opinion. The lighting is changing very rapidly and the contrast is extreme between the places the sun is hitting and the places still in shadow. Zooming in on a section of the scene helps with this extreme contrast seen here with the mountain top just …
So I was going through my SD cards in preparation for a trip to Colorado to photograph the fall colors when I came across a SD car that I hadn’t downloaded to the computer from July 4th 2016! Half of the photos were from an off road trip on some dirt roads above Gypsum CO …
Earlier this year Taunya and I went down to Eugene, OR for my Sister-in-law’s wedding to Eric. It was amazing how the weather worked out for it. It was pouring rain most of the day, see the image below, but for the ceremony and afterwards it cleared up and was a beautiful evening. I wasn’t …
These photos somehow were over looked a couple of years ago 🙁 So I apologize for their tardiness. Here is the gallery.
