This week's topic is tailor-made for me. On my computer, I have an album dedicated to photos of clouds. Here in the Pacific Northwest, the sky is as apt to be covered with gray clouds all winter, and they are never the same one minute to the next. But when Spring arrives and the gray …

Let There Be Light. And there was light. There is a reason God created light first. Nothing lives totally without light, and photographers care most about how a subject is lighted. These two trees were lighted from below. Sometimes you just get lucky, as I was one evening when we arrived home from a short …

To start with, these favorite finds are all from this month of August, 2022. I have a great liking for clouds, and I keep an album on my computer of just cloud photos. I was impressed with these wispy clouds around Colonial Peak in the North Cascades, when we visited the Diablo Lake Overlook on …

This afternoon, Hubby and I drove up to the Skagit Valley, just to get out of the house. The weather was cool and crisp, and the clouds were ominous sometimes. When we got there, we took our favorite road through the fields. A little farther on, as the sun was just setting: Around the next …
