The Bridge in Green
The Astoria-Megler Bridge
I feel like I've posted this somewhere already, but it may have been on the Astoria Daily Photo Facebook page, which I have given over to Rich Kraft so I can find time for this blog and other activities. This is one of the first photos where I noticed that I enjoyed looking at a wider, shorter image. The reason? When you enlarge it to full screen on my laptop, which has a screen wider than it is tall, I feel like I'm inside the image. I could have made this image larger, though. I was just getting the hang of it.

Wet Leaves on the Grate
This is my alternate cropping for the photo I posted February 28th. It's nice when you enlarge it. Tomorrow, a new subject.

Yellow Earth
Outside Bisbee, Arizona ~ December 28, 2004
It was hard to picture my grandparents living in this small, isolated town in the 1920s, but my grandfather had just left the Coast Guard and graduated from the Colorado School of Mines. He had gotten a degree in mining engineering, and Bisbee was all about mining.
They tried to raise two little boys here, but they soon left. One of the reasons my grandmother gave was that it was too hard on her chasing my dad and uncle up and down the hill that Bisbee was built on. I can imagine.

The Best "Fall Colors House"
Bend, Oregon ~ November 6, 2010
As Lee and I were driving to Starbucks, this gorgeous vision caught both of us by surprise. I drove around the block and walked alongside the house to various angles. This shot is the only one that even marginally captures the glowing brilliance of this yellow house in the glow of the golden leaves. At times like this you want to just ditch the camera and bathe yourself in the awesome perfection of the moment. There was even a comfy fall cat sitting on the porch wall.

Storm Sky in Palisade
Palisade, Colorado ~ March 3, 2001This photo was taken with my funky old digital, so the darker colors of the earth and houses are muddy, but the sky really did flash that brilliant blue streak under the storm clouds. That's one thing I always loved about Palisade - the storm lighting and colors were magnificent.

My favorites
Santo Stefano, Sicily, Italy ~ April 30, 2004 I loved these plates so much I bought two cereal bowls of the same design. One (much to my dismay) broke. The other sits on my desk holding a yellow highlighter, a camera battery, a few old Starbucks "Song of the Day" free download cards, a couple of paper clips, a staple puller, and (by actual count) 16 ballpoint pen tops I seriously thought I had lost. (I wonder what happened to all those pens?) At least I can see the bowl every day, and I haven't broken it yet.

White on white
Bend, Oregon ~ December 26, 2009
The entire town and had been enchanted by freezing fog, causing ice to cling lightly to everthing in sight.
