visitor

Friendly and handsome little cat

who is always hunting mice in the field behind my house.

He likes to visit once in awhile.

Seems to like the camera too :)

getting in the spirit of christmas

It has been very rainy and cold here lately,

so at the moment I have stuck to indoor activities.

I hope you all have a very merry Christmas and New Year!

Strength

"You cannot run away from weakness;

you must some time fight it out or perish;

and if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?"

-R.L.S.

Forest in the Winter

It is not so much for it's beauty,

that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts,

as for that subtle something,

that quality of air that emanation from old trees,

that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.

-Robert Louis Stevenson

Fire in the sky...and snow.

a very "fall" day

I rode my bike down to this park near the Sandy River this morning. Last time I did this I got a flat tire...this time however my rear tire decided to fall completely off and I got a nice punch in the stomach from my handle bars. I'm sure it was a funny thing to see, I even had a good laugh about it for awhile.....but I had to CARRY my bike and the tire up a large hill and all the way home. It was exhausting lol. It was a very pretty day out though, so even though I am sore and have blisters on my hands, I'll look on the bright side and say I love this season!

I can see winter

It's getting cold...I can already see the mountains in Washington, from outside my window, getting covered in snow!

Fall leaves

relaxing afternoon walk

Bridal Veil Falls

Hey Everyone!

Not a whole lot of photography has been going on here...so sorry for no recent updates in the last few weeks. The rain is here and I've been playing my guitars more than I've been playing with my camera. I'm really looking forward to Fall/Winter so stay tuned for, hopefully, some cool photos. :) This time last year I didn't have my camera so now my expectations are up...and I have some ideas cooking...lol...
