O How Lovely

In April of 1820, God the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ, visited the young boy and future prophet, Joseph Smith, the beginning of what was to become the restoration of the true church of Jesus Christ... This photo reminds me of Joseph's recounting of the experience: "I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which gradually descended until it fell upon me."

Comin' Through!

Having some fun on Christmas morning with S's new GeoTrax toys...

Snow & Fog

I drove by Green Valley on I-18 and had to turn around and come back to capture this beautiful combination of snow and fog...

Old Rainier

While my wonderful niece, Bethany, stayed with us for a day last week, we went out about the town to find some good photos for her photography class back in Utah. This is one she took that I doctored up a bit in PSE...

Silhuette

More from Lake Samammish this morning...

Flying Away

This morning was incredible as I drove by Idylwood Park in Redmond on my way to work. I couldn't help but stop!

Sunrise & Mist

This is what you get when you combine sub-freezing temps with a brilliant sunrise on Lake Samammish. :)

From near the Cedar River on a wet and blustery day... The one spot of color...

I LOVE this one, even if it's not perfectly focused...

Foggy Morning

Another one from Sunday morning's beautiful sunrise...

Breaking Through

I just remembered that I haven't yet posted anything from the spectacular sunrise we had Sunday morning.

Past Prime

After being inside with sick boys all day yesterday, we had to get out in the afternoon and take a walk. It was the perfect fall afternoon - blustery but warm, sunny... Some of the leaves are already past their prime.

Autumn Leaves

From a walk across Microsoft campus this morning...

D on Red

I found this great red barn on the drive home from work Friday that I thought would make a great setting for family photos. I came away discouraged for the most part, as I realized just how little I know about taking pictures of humans, posing, etc. - particularly in sunlight... But I did get a couple of good ones - this one of D being one of them...

Corn

From a family drive and photo shoot today in Redmond...

First Frost

Taken from the bathroom window...

Playing with selective color

I just learned how to do selective color effectively in PSE. This is my first try, from D's soccer game last week...

W-Oli

More from the same shoot... He was so sweet, and the fall weather was so perfect!
