Fall Colors

On October 14, 2013 By Fred KingIn Fall, Leaf, Lincoln Park, nature, Nikon D7000, SeattleLeave a comment

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 🙂.

Spotted along the Cedar River. This heron was quite a distance from me as he waited for the post-spawning salmon to float by. I wish I could have gotten closer…..

Skagit Valley

Skagit Valley, approx. 70 miles north of Seattle, WA. This particular sequence was shot just east of LaConner, WA. looking northeast. That is Mt. Baker in the distance. The valley is mostly farmland for a variety of crops, including tulips. Tomorrow and perhaps for a couple of more days I am going to post some images of an abandoned farm I ran across while driving through the valley.

Small section of the Duwamish River where nature seems to coexist with marine commerce.

A couple of views from the lighthouse. A kayaker and Queen Anne Hill in the distance.

Alki Lighthouse

Located on Beach Drive in West Seattle. One of the last lighthouses on the West Coast to be automated.

Note: My seven year old Macbook Pro expired yesterday. I did most, but not all, of my photo and photoblog work on that machine. Apparently the logic card died and Apple, in the spirit of planned obsolescence, does not supply that part any more. So, I am in the process of deciding what to do next. Since 2008 I have enjoyed doing this blog and don’t want it to end due to some mechanical failure.

The top photo, in background, you can see work being done on the river bank. They are totally cleaning and refurbishing the bank and I believe the area will be some sort of conservancy area when done.
