Delicate

Another gorgeous flower from my mother’s garden. The petals reminded me of delicate lace. I felt that they might tear if I touched them, so I photographed them instead.

Through the Fence

An interesting perspective.

In flight

Birds flying in the falling snow.

Industrial Columns

The remains of possibly an old pier from the heyday of my hometown. I wonder if the railroad magnates and prostitutes looked out at these same posts when they were new.

Intimidation

The calm right before a storm. I was pretty sure these mountains were about to merge with the storm and consume all that was good in the world. It made for a striking photograph though.

Through the Window

As we were driving through Montana (or possibly Wyoming) on a roadtrip a few years back, we found ourselves in the middle of a summer storm. To the chagrin of my mother, I unbuckled my seatbelt and crawled halfway into the front seat to take this photo. I found quite beautiful the contrast of the soft lines of water against the harsh crack in the windshield illuminated by the vivid yellow of dried grass fields. I hope you find something beautiful here too!

Looking Up

A rare burst of color during the gray winter months.

Dew

A tulip at the Tulip Festival in La Conner, WA, 2010.

Splitting the Sea

This was taken at the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks in Ballard. The way in which the light reflections on the water framed the bow of this old fishing boat caught my attention. This photo feels calm to me, and a bit cold. That may just be burned into my memory by the freezing December weather, however.

Grassfire

I really enjoy taking photographs of nature, especially flowers. My mother has the perfect garden for this. So many diverse flowers and they all are very beautiful. Thanks, mom, for all the photo ops, oh yeah, and that whole birth thing, that was pretty great of you too.
