I took this one on a wintry walk round our village with me dad a couple of weeks ago. What I liked here was the sun coming from the right, but the shadows on the fence being the other way round because of the way they affected the drift.

I have to be careful what I write here now ‘cos I don’t want to invite comparisons with Ryan from The (US) Office’s brilliant photoblog that truly skewers photoblog descriptions… Favourite bit yet?

It’s possible my subconscious shot this or perhaps I accidentally took the picture without realizing it. Doesn’t matter. In life, there are no accidents. This is proof. How could something “accidental” be so mysteriously striking. And layered. It’s obviously working on at least three levels, but can you see the fourth and fifth? I dare you to try.

Original title: They’re after me Lucky Charms

Then I decided that was a bit flippant and doesn’t translate culturally outside of the US anyway.
Hoping to start posting properly again here. At least 2 a week. I’d forgotten I had an ‘Elsewhere‘ category so that’ll make it easier to put a few up from our lovely holiday back in the UK and Ireland.

I put in a few hours overtime on Sunday and treated myself with a walk around Tryon Park afterwards. Gorgeous light all around the place, and combined with the shade it made for some nice bokeh.

I don’t have a huge amount to say about this pic that I’ve not already mentioned in my blog or facebook. Suffice to say, Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm is well worth a visit right now.

You can see the whole series on Flickr or over at me poor, semi-abandoned blog.

Once I’d climbed the steep side of the Columbia River gorge I considered any photo a bonus. When I got into the cloud/rain level I took this one. It’s not black and white. That’s just the colour of the woods…

Connecting the states of Oregon and Washington. It’ll cost you a buck each way. This is a shot looking at Oregon from the driving seat. I don’t think it’s illegal to drive and wave a camera about, but it wouldn’t take long to get across the state line in the event of a high speed police chase…

The waterfalls between Portland and The Dalles are connected by an old (by American standards) road with picturesque little bridges.

DrSita’s just crossed one here. The shallow depth of field and blur is deliberate. Honest.

And we’re back! Happy MLK day… This is Atticus leading the way around Tryon State Park on a cold morning (you can see his breath)…

I’m feeling a little delicate today. Here’s a bold start to 2009.
