A Heron
Alone In a Stormy Sky



Winter's Still

...hanging around

Reflection

Black Water

Soon...

...it will be Spring.

A Southbound Jet

...leaves a vapor trail in the 

evening twilight.

They're Back!

Max and Matilda, back from points south



Clouds InTheWater



The snow is mostly gone, and

the sun is peaking through 

between showers.

Footprints

 



A Snowy Morning...

 

 

...through the kitchen window.



Cubist Art?



Or, the dog in the wall.

Oh, I Don't Know...

What do YOU want to do..?



Big, Very Big!

A giant, mile-long Union Pacific

container train rolls through

Winlock late yesterday afternoon

A Perfect Spot 

For Mountain Watching

Proof that the government can build a beautiful

building when it wants to--the Coldwater Ridge

Visitors Center near Mt St. Helens

The End of a Perfect Day

A beautiful January Day ending 

near Mt. St. Helens

Forest Cathedral

There's Something Scary

In The Creek!

I tend to see faces in things, but 

this one, in the center, is kinda

spooky!

Like Glass

The ethanol plant rises like a castle 

next to the glassy smooth Columbia River



Saturday Sunshine

Along the Columbia River

Kids!   Always Hungry...

We love our eagles

here in the Northwest!

More Windmills

... in the high desert

Windmills...

 

old and new



Quiet

Just the stream...

So Much Color!

 

Even in the dead of Winter...

Stella Through The Mist

The German immigrants who settled Stella 

in the 1870's provided cord wood for steamboats, 

and assembled log rafts to float logs down

the Columbia River to the Pacific, 

and then south to California.

Just A Walk In The Park



A Fogbound Forest

The sun never came out yesterday

A Happy Accident?

All of us who like to shoot pictures

make the occasional blunder 

with exposure, etc.  Sometimes 

the result can be downright interesting!

At least I think so....

Cold, Strange, and Beautiful

Stubbornly Green!

Very Cold!

Not snow, but heavy frozen fog

on the path to the Toutle River 

Sediment Dam

The Light on Christmas Day

It's Christmas!

Wild!

The surf was as wild as I've ever 

seen it--- Just South of Cannon Beach

on the shortest day of the year.

Back at the beach...

...on the shortest, darkest day of the year.

Enjoy The Sun Because... 

There's snow tonight.

Even A Heron

Can Grab A Few Rays...

...but have you ever seen one do that

while sitting in a tree?

 

 



Mt. St. Helens

Glowing

 

in the late afternoon December sun 

 



A Winter's Walk

Almost like cathedral walls

Frozen Space 

A week of below freezing temperatures

has created amazing sights in the wetlands.

December Sky

and December surf

Otter Hurry!

Feeling Just Ducky...

in the late afternoon

Sunlight In The Rapids

 

 

At Rainbow Falls
