Just another hazy Friday.

A dramatic view looking across a gravelly alpine ridge toward the dark, sheer cliffs of Banshee Peak with remnants of Sarvant Glacier clinging to its east face. In the hazy background, the massive, snow-covered Mount Rainier looms against a bright, clear blue sky. Layered mountain ranges fade into a thick, muted haze. In the bottom-left foreground, an alpine slope with sparse evergreen trees dips into the frame. Above the soft, blue-gray silhouette of the distant ridges, the faint, ghostly shape of a massive snow-covered Mount Adams looms barely visible in the smoky sky.

Two of about a dozen Osprey I saw fishing in the waters off of Manitou Beach on Bainbridge Island last weekend.

Taken with my OM System OM-1 Mark II camera and their M.Zuiko 150-400mm PRO telephoto zoom lens.

This is a Horned Puffin that I’ve been trying to photograph for over a year now near Smith Island in the waters of the Salish Sea near the entrance of Puget Sound in WA.

Horned Puffins gets their name from the fleshy “horns” that project above their eyes.

With each passing day of this administration, this seems less like silly street art and more like a really, really good idea. Where do I sign up?

Has anyone seen this woman? This mural in Pioneer Square disappeared quietly and unnoticed a day after it appeared. Don’t let them paint you over. Don’t let them paint anyone over. Seattle, 2019.

You know that dream you sometimes have where you’re naked in public? That’s America right now, and it’s not a dream.

If lies were raindrops - or, how I feel when I read the news each day. The truth umbrella just isn’t big enough, and I often don’t know where to find it. Stay dry, everyone. Seattle, 2020(ish).
