From a few weeks ago, a hot day at Salmon La Sac WA campground. It was very dry.

My brother is on a motorcycle trip and had his friend take this picture of him in front of a fallen redwood in Northern California. What an image!

Our brief camping trip last week was sadly rained out, but before we left of course I took some photos.

We went camping last week, southeast of Mt. Rainier in Washington. At first the local river, the Ohanapecosh River (pronounced o-HANA-puh-cosh), was clear and gorgeous.

Then (bonus image time!) it rained very, very hard. Here is the same river, a few miles upstream, after much rain.

This is a cat we used to have who has gone to kitty heaven. Rose was a very good guard kitty. She used to make sure everything outside was as it should be. She is missed.

While I was in the Seattle Art Museum the other day I took this photo of an empty room I’d never seen. I hope that was OK. Pressed for time, I didn’t get to read anything about it. A recreation of a European room, perhaps from the Renaissance? What a lovely feeling it gave me.

I was looking for something red to post and found this image from a county fair this summer. Totally straight out of the camera and just for you:

Couldn’t resist a little food abundance photo: five pies! Marionberry, strawberry-rhubarb, peach, pecan, and coconut cream pie. Boy oh boy.

Five pies adorn a Thanksgiving table. We are grateful!
