Blue Goose

When fall arrives in the Northwest, Canadian Geese appear in greater numbers during their migration. Some remain in the area most of the year, while others are here just long enough to rest wings, feast and move on. Regardless the length of touch down, they are lovely to see, in mass or alone. Of course I have taken liberty here and given this fellow a blue turn.

Exploring

Exploring light, shadow and simplicity. 

A Good Old Truck

In the Eastern WA farm lands there are periodic stands of trees, lined up like soldiers in a narrow wing formation. They are pretty striking in the middle of vast open space. I imagine that is the point, all that open space and nothing to slow winds and fire. Fire breaks. At least that's my take for now. This wonderful old truck was nestled into the base of them earlier this spring. The working, wood panel sided truck, in Real Life, is deep green. 

Wedding Flowers

An outdoor wedding, dressed tables and some "other world" lilacs. 

My world, though not my wedding of course. 

It was fun to attend.

Returning Places

There are places we return to in our lives, over and over again. Carmel Mission is one of those returning places for me. Father Serra's room remains in it's simplicity. The architecture of this time period always feels familiar and safe to me. I like to revisit old places; in person, in memory, in photo.

Fantasy Fields

Fantasy fields. 
An altered version of what the camera captured, 

but close to what my minds eye saw that day. 

South East WA felt alive in the most electric of ways. 

The Eastern Side

The Eastern side of the State.
