Barn on 50th

I've photographed this barn before...I think in the winter or fall, but wasn't real happy with the results, so I wanted to go back and last Friday - I did. I uploaded 3 pictures - all processed very differently.

The Mossy Oak

I'm not sure that this tree is actually an oak tree, but I needed a title and it sounded good. I went on a field trip with my son's 3rd grade class to the Wildlife Refuge in Ridgefield a couple of weeks ago. I'm not the type of parent to do those kinds of things typically, because honestly other people's children annoy me. I promised Ashton that I would go though. It was a pretty cool place but couldn't fully appreciate it so I plan to go back to walk the trails, enjoy the nature and try to photograph the wildlife that were all scared off by loud, obnoxious kids. There was this HUGE, beautiful, tree that I didn't have the luxury of time to spend photographing it. I was only able to pause for a second as we were walking away to get 3 bracketed exposures of just this shot.

Briz Loan and Guitar

The other day I wanted to take some pictures of the sunset near the waterfront and on my way I drove past Briz Loan & Guitar and saw this huge guitar on the side of their building. It was hard to get a good picture of it because it had a big Plaid Pantry sign right underneath it, so I cropped it out of the picture. I love the bright orange of the guitar against all the different textures of the brick wall.

Update and new picture!

It's been hard to do this blog while it was the winter/rainy season in the Northwest and I got frustrated so I stopped taking pictures and stopped posting. Spring is here and things are blooming and getting pretty again! I'm getting camera hungry again and will continue to post pictures as I take them.

This is another side of the The Academy building that I've taking pictures of previously. I posted two edited pictures...I think I like the 2nd one better.
