… and boy is it angry!
Sam’s “shadow” was of course Emma, who came over when she saw I was photographing him. Emma, the cat who hated to be photographed, but photobombed every picture she could.

Sam Helps with the Packing
The ever-helpful Samwise back in 2013.
Good Morning
The last day of the year got off to a cold but sunny start. I stopped at Rest Lake when I came across this great blue heron sitting beside the frozen channel and then sat listening to the cackling geese and tundra swans in the lake behind it. I couldn’t resist a self-portrait when the rising sun created a perfect shadow of my little Crosstrek on the bank.
Revenge of the Marshmallows
When I saw this scene in Mammoth Hot Springs, I thought perhaps that marshmallows were at long last taking their revenge for all the times they had been placed on a branch and roasted over a roaring fire.
Mammoth Hot Springs
I photographed this little section of Mammoth Hot Springs on my first visit to the area in 2004. I’ve gone back to this spot on each trip since but its appearance has changed over the years and it’s never looked as good as it did on that first trip.
Lake Crescent
My wife and I arrived at Lake Crescent in June 2004 for our first visit to Olympic National Park. After dinner (and just after the sun set) I walked out onto the dock for a quick shot of the glacier-carved lake.
Duck Duck Coot
An American coot ducks under a plant stem as it swims down a narrow section of open water in a channel that has mostly frozen over with a thin layer of ice.

Boo and Sam keep keep watch in our biggest picture window on a fall afternoon.
Black & Gray
I love Ellie’s gray eyebrows, they add so much expression to her face. I sometimes wonder if the price she pays for being such an amazing dog is that she gets a gray hair for each moment of joy she brings into our lives.
