Saturday on the Ridge

We had a fine day for a visit a year ago when my daughter drove Jane and I from Port Angeles to Hurricane Ridge on the Olympic Peninsula. This view is actually from further up a walking trail from the main parking area.

Victoria Houseboats

This shot was taken down at Fisherman's Wharf late in the day. There's lots to see and do here, not the least is a kayak excursion around Victoria's Inner Harbor. And of course there are those colorful houseboats.

An Early Snow for Pitttsburgh

No this wasn't recently. A couple of years ago we were passing through the city of Pittsburgh in late October and the city had a snow storm. This was what we saw in the South Park area on the morning after the snow fall. It wasn't a lot, but apparently snow at this particular time of year was unusual. The colored leaves of fall can still be seen.

Pacific Grove Flowers

Here's a shot I captured on a sunny Sunday afternoon a few years ago when we were on our way to Big Sur from San Francisco. We stopped for a short time in and around Pacific Grove and I found it a rather photogenic place even if it wasn't exactly at the best time of day for picture taking.

Early Morning Charleston Stroll

Well, actually this wasn't quite such the early morning stroll that I'd wanted, but it was still good to get out onto the streets of Charleston before the early Summer heat began to really become noticeable. This was along so called Rainbow Row in the city's older section.

Chihuly Garden & Glass

This new attraction is an absolute must visit for photographers who are in the Seattle region. There’s just so many opportunities for picture taking both inside the building and in the outside garden. Here’s a particularly iconic shot of Seattle, except that of course before the last year the it might have been difficult to get a good shot of a Chilhuly sculpture and the Space Needle in the same picture!
