Forgotton Little Treaures

Girl With Tulip

While digging through old files on my computer looking for an old document, I am finding lots of forgotton little treasures. This is one of the first videos I ever did combining music with my photos, and although I was somewhat limited in editing tools and experience at the time, I loved seeing this “oldie” […]


Prosser, Washington Panoramic View at Twilight

Mount Adams Sunset

I ventured out recently to photograph Pan-Starrs Comet, which was forecasted to appear that evening at twilight, just to the left of where the sun set. I found a nice high spot on a hill above Prosser, Washington which I thought would be a perfect lookout. Well, I never did see that comet. Maybe it […]

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.

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 […]
