Leaves and Lichen

Another set of images from Lincoln Park. So many of the trees are now turning colors it has kept me busy this Fall. This is the time of year I am usually in Brooklyn/NY visiting with our son and daughter in law, wandering around the Five Boroughs of NYC with my camera in hand. DSC_2871-001 DSC_2874-001 DSC_2876-001

Fall while Driving

Probably something I should not have done, camera in hand randomly ( and mostly blindly) shooting, while I was driving last week. I did my best to edit out parts of the car, but as you can see, there is only so much cropping that can be done and still have some sort of subject left.DSC_2901-001 DSC_2902-001 DSC_2904-001 DSC_2905-001

Fall Colors

Taken at Lincoln Park, near our home, in West Seattle. I found one tree that kept me busy shooting for quite a few minutes. It’s amazing the range of colors visible on just one tree. The process of decay is in stages that I find fascinating, but I am sure there is a rational, scientific explanation. I prefer the mysterious 🙂.

Green-Wood Cemetery: Part 3

From modest to ornate, headstones of all ages and types can be found at Green-Wood. Early Dutch settlers to Wall Street Barons. The pond is really a nice feature. I’ve visited the cemetery three times and have probably only covered 30% of the site.

Ikea Water Taxi

The Ikea Water Taxi runs from the pier adjacent to the Ikea store in Red Hook to the old Fulton Fish Market Pier on the east side of Manhattan ( Pier 11 ). The views from the taxi are incredible as you cross the East River.DSC_8507-001 DSC_8514-001 DSC_8539-001
