I knew the two long driveways to the house we are renting would be spectacular once fall colors hit. When I got home from church, and saw that the colors were just about perfect, I didn’t want to risk waiting another week. Ella tagged along as my model 🙂 Love having a daughter that likes …
Since I am going to be doing some wedding photographs at the Yakima Arboretum this coming Saturday, I wanted to check out the location. My daughter Ella was a good sport for tagging along to be my model. The Arboretum consists of 46 acres of gardens and trees with lots of grassy areas. We followed …
Early Monday morning on August 21st, I headed out planning to drive to Shaniko, OR to watch the solar eclipse. I was planning on leaving at about 2:30 am, but when I set my alarm I set it for pm instead of am…..Fortunately, for me, Taunya woke up at 3:45 am and woke me up. …
Earlier this year I took an evening and walked around our yard and took some photographs of the new life happening. I love this shot of the new leaves being back-lit by the setting sun down the long drive way. The difficult thing was picking the right focal length for the shot. To wide and …
On October 15th the Eagle Valley Ward had a Fall Festival at the Bair Ranch in Glenwood Canyon. The weather was amazing and a great time was had by everyone involved. There was food storage cooking demonstrations. And a bouncy house for the kids. There was bobbing for apples and a pie eating competition for …

Last Monday I went out photographing with my good friend Robert Jay to the Gypsum Ponds for some scenery and wildlife shots. He recently got a new camera and so it was great to have someone to go out shooting with again. It was fun shooting together and teaching him some of the techniques I …
ISO 100, 14mm, f/22, 0.6 sec Over the Thanksgiving weekend my sister Bonnie and I went out to do some photography.

Back in 2012 I went up to Silver Lake with my sister Bonnie to take photographs. Later that week I went to the San Juan Mountains for a photography workshop and forgot all about these images. Wish I would have had the long lenses I have now to photograph these two moose that were at …
A couple of weeks ago my friend Rick and his family were in town. Rick, my son Daniel, and I went for a drive up to Lake Silvan and then Fulford. I had never been up to Fulford and thought why not? We were well past peak for the fall colors, but there were still …

Near Yachats, Oregon is a great geological/photographic site known as Thor’s well. When we were out this past July for my sister-in-law’s wedding I took the opportunity on two different days to go up and photograph Thor’s Well. Thor’s Well is best photographed as the tide is coming in. Because of this the opportunities I …
