Fish on!!!

A blogging friend, EG @ http://eastgwillimburywow.blogspot.com/ had done a similar collage and I just had to figure out how to do this. And....this is the best I can do. I may wrestle with it some more.

This is fishing (I call it elbow fishing) on the Samish River when the Salmon are coming in to fresh water from salt water. This is at the mouth of the river. My friend says 'poor fish let them go on up stream to spawn like nature intended' and he only fishes Salmon in saltwater. I respect that. MB

The sun came out today

Today started out rainy and gray. So off shannon and I went to feed the animals--she to the horses and I fed the goats and played with the dogs. We all got wet. No sooner were we in the house and Shannon commented about how the sun comes out after we are done. It is amazing how fasr the weather can change. I glanced out the window and there was Mt. Rainier out among the clouds. She stayed out all day too. MB

Sepia Scenes and More

Strictly sepia.
I have added the other scenes of the same shot treated differently. All very interesting don't you think?




This shot is done in sepia with a little added saturation. The original colors are so vivid that the glow would not go away.




This shot from Washington Part in Anacortes is as is right out of the camera. I took this shot in May.

This is my Tuesday~~~~~Love

'This is my Tuesday' a new photo project and todays theme is 'LOVE'.
This is my dog Bingo with little Niblet the Cat snuggled up to him. Even though they play at being enemies and chase and leap and jump at each other---when it's time for a snooze you will find them together. Secretly they really like each other, but don't tell them I said so.





A new photo project started by 'Red Boots' and here is her blog if you would like to view more happenings or would like to participate:http://red-boots.blogspot.com/

A lull in the rains

This is on the deck from the east side of the house. You can see the top of the gate. that is the goat pen and you can see Snowflake. The trees are very pretty right now but it has been raining awfully hard so soon the leaves will wing away. Enjoy them now. MB

Faded Beauty in Ritzville

This ole house once knew his children
This ole house once knew his wife
This ole house was home and comfort
As they fought the storms of life
This old house once rang with laughter
This old house heard many shouts
Now he trembles in the darkness
When the lightnin' walks about.......
