Almost missed this sunset down in the basemen at my computer. My wife called me up to see it, I ran down to get the drone, rushed out and got it up to grab this. Skyline L-R: Cascades, Mt. Rainier, Sky Scrapers of Seattle, Olympics, Puget Sound. Lake Stevens below.

Another shot found in my iPhone from last year. Deception Pass State Park, WA

I'm a great believer in serendipity in my photography. I often set out with a plan or goal, but try to stay open to opportunities and go with the flow, which can mean changing the plan and not meeting the original goal. Yesterday afternoon I walked over to our high school play fields to...

His pipe makes it for me.

Didn't think I'd get a keeper with the iPhone, but I had it in my hand when I heard the cry and saw the bird coming I thought, "Why not try?" Deception Pass state park, WA. iPhone 11 pro

My wife and I spent a night at Deception Pass state park breaking in our new truck-camper. After a leisurely breakfast in the warmth of the camper (the best upgrade from our old van for Debbie) we went for a nice walk down to the beach. I just slipped my iPhone 11 Pro into my pocket instead of...

Taken above my house with DJI M2P drone. 5 shots blended to deal with noise.

Found this at the end of the day just before I got home after a long stressful day in the city dealing with my brother's serious medical issues. Photography as meditation.

I was out for a walk in the neighborhood with my wife last night when a dramatic sunset started to play out above us. It was clouding up, so I wasn't expecting it, but we started heading home so I could fly the drone and capture it. After a couple minutes it really got intense, but I was still a...

Got this a couple weeks ago up above Chuckanut drive near Bellingham WA. I posted it to Google Photos and don't know how to embed here so you have to click through. It is a high quality 1080p file so to see a large version click the video, then wait a bit until it has fully loaded to see it...

Taken from the Samish Overlook last week. The lights on the ship caught my eye.

It didn't look that great when I first took off, but I hadn't gotten any pictures on a drive that day due to rain so I was motivated to shoot the drone up and look around at sunset. The first flight didn't yield much, so I waited a bit and went up again when I hoped the sun was in the right...

One of the reasons I love this hike is the view west to the Puget Sound.

I'd gone on a rather unsuccessful afternoon drive up into the mountains near my house with my wife yesterday to work on flying my drone. The weather was unsettled, so I was hoping for some dramatic clouds, but got sprinkled on at the spots where I stopped, so cut it short (one of the limitations...

From the Everett Anthony's restaurant (highly recommended).

This is one of my first focus stacks, 3 shots blended, Rokinon 14mm.
