Welcome to my Photo Blog. I'll try to mix it up, there are lots of different types of photography. Much of what I photograph is in the landscape category. My passion regarding nature started as a boy. The Cascade mountains of Washington were where my father introduced me to hiking and fishing. Watching a bald eagle use its strong talons to pluck a large trout out of the water was the kind of experience that had to be part of my future. I hope you enjoy my photo-journey.

Tequila Gold Flying Down The Homestretch
Jockey Deborah Hoonan-Trujillo rides Tequila Gold to a second place showing. What is amazing is that just thirty minutes before this race, Deborah was in the starting gate aboard Armed Service when the gates opened and Armed Service went down on the knees. Deborah crashed to the track. Luck and skill were on jockey Deborah Hoonan-Trujillo side. I probably would have gone home for the rest of the day.

Win, Place or Show - The Day Was A Winner
Last Saturday I was at Emerald Downs Race Track. The track held a special program. The public was invited to come early in the morning and watch the jockeys and horses train and prepare for the days races. Tour the stables, get the Official Program for the day and receive free admission to the races that day. What a deal. Emerald Downs holds this program a couple times a year. Watch for it. I took about 1000 images, did I have fun or what?

Painterly Don't You Think?
This image is the result of the Posterize process. Creating a posterized effect, in effect reduces the color palette of an image. I think the orchids become more painting like. I like it.

Love, It Is A Flower
I say love, it is a flower. And you, its only seed. Just remember in the winter. Far beneath the bitter snow. Lies the seed that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes the rose.

Pre-Modern Accoutrements
Accoutrements, a fancy word for decorating. Now flowers, in general, are fancy and decorative. But when hung on a fence post, they become accoutrements.
