Just one moment of many


Another one of those images that have no commercial value, that won’t sell in microstock, or win at Betterphoto, or ever end up on somebody’s wall. No matter, I like it. It captures a simple little moment, nuthin’ fancy. But I was there…..

Bare Trees on a Snowy Day


There’s still quite a bit of snow on the north side of Kamiak Butte, where the trails start. But spring is getting closer and closer... Click on image for a larger view.

On the Palouse...


For some reason, I’ve long been drawn to photos such as this. And they never look like what I envisioned when I snapped the shutter. But I like to think that I’m getting closer to capturing what my mind sees… I suspect I’m just fooling myself. Regardless, I'll never stop trying.

Ready for Spring

Ready, but still waiting.......

Clapton Is God

Reminiscent of the iconic image from the 60’s, but this is Pullman, Washington, 2008.

I was listening to Blind Faith this morning, so I guess it's appropriate.

123 Mime

Fellow blogger Frothy tagged me for the 123 mine...
Here's the rules: Take the nearest book, turn to page 123.Look for the fifth sentence, then post the three sentences following the fifth sentence.

Well, this is random, but I'm game... Nearest book: "The Book of General Ignorance", which was a gift from one of my daughters.Page 123, sentences 6-8:

He sold more than a million books in his lifetime and was the first to apply evolutionary theory to psychology, philosophy, aand the study of society.He also invented the paper clip. The device was called Spencer's Binding Pin and was produced on a modified hook-and-eye machine by a manufacturer called Ackermann whose offices were on the Strand in London."

Who should I tag?? How about My Viewfinder, Photowannabe and After the Bridge...

Midstream

An oldie, from the old Rt.66 Bridge across the Mississippi River, a couple miles north of St. Louis… It is a hiking/biking bridge now....
