A Photographer's Christmas

The Olympic Mountains were in their glory this morning. This is one of my first in HDR.

And Mount Baker was elegant. A great Christmas for a photographer.

December moonrise

December has two full moons this year. I look forward to capturing something special the second time around. This image is from the first full moon this month and highlights the Windjammer Park at Oak Harbor, WA.

A Photographer's Day

I took a friend to the airport in Bellingham, WA today and on the way back could not resist a few photos. I went on Aldrich Rd., just north of Bellingham, to catch a scene of Mt. Baker.

Near Burlington, WA, I noticed the foothills had a nice dusting of snow.

I managed to get back to Whidbey in time to catch the sunset from the west side of the island with the sun setting on the Olympic Mountains.

Shaggy Manes

This is a picture from two weeks ago. With our recent frosts, they are gone.

Mountains Surround Whidbey Island

The mountains have their first round of winter snow.

Mt. Baker looms over Navy housing and the east side of Oak Harbor.

The Olympics viewed from Libbey Beach Island County Park.

The North Cascades with the Oak Harbor marina in the foreground.

December Frost

A frosty morning with fog. The frost was heavy and I couldn't resist trying to get it on one of the few remaining flowers in my garden.

A Day in the Life of Mt. Baker

Mt. Baker was in its glory today...

from Mt. Erie,

from the Anacortes Marina,

and from Barrington Heights.

What a moonrise this evening!
