Native Plant Appreciation Week

Native Plant Hike - Wallula Gap

A friend an I joined up with a local group of hikers to take in wildflowers and native grasses among shrub steppe and vistas created by the Ice Age Floods above Wallula Gap. A flock of pelicans flew over every once in a while, as if to check on our progress up the ridges. I’ve […]

Honey Bees & Cherry Blossoms

Cherry Blossoms

Honey Bees Love Spring Time, and So Do I It’s spring time in the Mid-Columbia, and I keep finding myself drawn to the honey bees so busy on the local blooms. I feel so lucky to live in what some call the “fruit bowl of the nation”. Last Saturday I visited Middleton Organic Orchards, where Lori […]


BFMG Demonstration Garden

Roses

BFMG Demonstration Garden, a set on Flickr. It’s almost time to get busy in the garden again. Yay! I’m also looking forward to helping with the Benton Franklin Master Gardener’s demonstration garden this season. If you haven’t visited yet, it’s located next to the Kennewick library on Union Street. Be sure and take a stroll […]


Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nothing Gold Can Stay

My garden is still growing, as is my sense of dread as first frost creeps nearer. I will miss it so, and I’m already daydreaming of next spring and new life coming out of winter’s bare earth.


Rocky Boy Pow Wow

This was the 49th annual Rocky Boy Pow Wow and my first. I was in awe of the heart, soul and beauty of those participating in the celebration of their heritage, young and old. Best viewed in 720hd.


Summer Breeze & Busy Bees In The Demonstration Garden

Bees & Lavendar

I’m not a master of gardening, but I’ve been participating in the Benton-Franklin Master Gardeners program this year, and I’ve learned so much. Mostly how much there is still to learn. I have really enjoyed photographing at different times the beautiful demonstration garden next to the Mid-Columbia library in Kennewick. All the work is performed […]

Is it Spring Yet?

The holidays are now behind us, and the new year ahead. Spring still feels so far away yet. Will my new goLITE (Christmas present from Hubby) be enough to pull me through the gray and dreary days between me and the brighter days of spring and summer? One of my favorite places to wander locally […]


Love At The Cross

Love At The Cross, originally uploaded by debi.bishop. Sometimes my camera just doesn’t pick up on what my heart sees. So with the help of a little Photoshop, I made a couple of adjustments to this image I took in August. This hill overlooks the land I grew up on, and the one cross on […]


Shy Farm Boy

Sad boy

Wow! Over three months since last post. What a fantastic summer it has been. Been busy shooting, but not blog posting. Here’s one to get me started with catching up. This is Teague, who was a model at a photography event I attended in August at Dog Mountain Farms near Carnation, WA. He was NOT […]


Been thinking about horses lately, as I’ll be shooting a trail ride in Montana this month. Thought it’d be a good time to post a few of my favorite equestrian images from the past. Can’t wait to make some more. Created with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR.


Karlie & Diego

The Body Guard

Wow, it’s almost time for another Montana journey, and I haven’t yet had time to process my favorites from the last recent trip. Here are a few from a session with Karlie & Diego in July. I love spending time with Karlie and her horses. They’re so friendly and fun. The mosquitoes were not friendly […]


Wheat Field Photo Session

In the summer of 1979, my sister had her senior photo session in a field of golden wheat. Thirty years later, her and I made a trip down memory lane back out into that golden field to do a sequel. . . My lovely assistant – Karlie …


Madeline

This is Madeline. They call her Maddie. She is a beautiful baby girl approaching her fist birthday. Even though she’s just on the verge of walking, she had me on the run just trying to keep up with her. She’s a charming little person from her puppy dog eyes down to her adorable kankles.


Abigale

I love working with little people because, well, their just so little! And cute and innocent and simple. And with little people, my work soon turns into play. I first met Abigale at my friend Vivian’s wedding a year and a half ago. She was a baby then, but she has since grown into a […]


Roger Graduates!

It’s that time of year again when four years of high school comes to an end for many young adults and marks the beginning of their grown-up lives. My nephew Roger graduated recently in Florida, and I was fortunate to be able to attend with my mother and sisters. A thunder storm was predicted graduation […]
