Last weekend, the Pacific Northwest had some very high winds, which caused power outages and fallen trees across roadways all around Western Washington. I got in my car and headed down to the ferry dock in Edmonds, to see if I could capture the wind (well, not the wind, but maybe some effects!). Here's some …
I just found out, from my friend Cee Neuner, about Terri's Sunday Stills Challenge. Whee! Terri lives in Eastern Washington, and I live in Western Washington, so we get some of the same weather, and wildlife, and plants. Below is a fun photo that I took yesterday in my back yard.

We live in the Pacific Northwest, not normally a big place to see fall colors, since we have more evergreen trees than deciduous ones. But right here at our house, our trees are showing some interesting color patterns this year. We have a pear tree in front of the front door. It leans slightly, due …
