Walking around my neighborhood this week, capturing the last of the Fall leaves before they are gone. Many falls have passed and I have barely had time to notice them. I ache when the season passes and I feel I have missed it. This year I took the time to notice the season. I … Continue reading Seize the Day

Early Morn Walk in the Woods
It had been a long week of my husband working late almost every night. I was feeling the need to leave the house. Creativity in the form of photography presently calls to me almost every day and if I have to suppress it for too long, I start to feel like I am dying inside. … Continue reading Early Morn Walk in the Woods

Raindrops and Maple Leaves
The rains in the Pacific Northwest bring with them a stillness. Contemplative, peaceful, and melancholy as the last of the leaves say farewell to their season. The world is going to sleep; into hibernation; into their homes. The children go inside to read, play legos, do their homework, kill time on screens, and argue inside their confinements. Some urban … Continue reading Raindrops and Maple Leaves

Astoria Column in the Fog and the Runaway Child
After photographing the Astoria-Megler Bridge, we drove to the Astoria Column. We had no expectations of a view. The column itself was hidden in a thick fog. There was a grassy hill that looked like it was out of a story book. My youngest tested the waters and explored it a little bit so decided to … Continue reading Astoria Column in the Fog and the Runaway Child

It was not an ideal day for a trip to the coast, but sometimes when you do not have grand expectations, you are open to serendipity and making those circumstances work for you.

The Ethereal
Magic Happens. A blend of timing and light. A feeling. A moment. Some are lost, but every once in a while, those moments are experienced and there is joy. Beauty and Love.

History Demolition
It makes me sad that these old building will very soon disappear. Gasco Building(1913), and Centennial Mill (1910) both built around the same time, both in the process of being demolished. It seems they could not be saved. Most physical things disappear eventually. Everything is vulnerable to the forces of nature, not matter how hard … Continue reading History Demolition

Pumpkin Patch
Moments with you, my children Do you see what I see? I see this glow when you play. Ten and Twelve, at the edge of a major shift. But there is still magic, sometimes. Rare moments. I feel the force of time stealing this away. Replacing it with something new. You make conscious choices and are defining … Continue reading Pumpkin Patch
