Photo stroll at Ft. Steilacoom Park

Last night, Bev and I went to Ft. Steilacoom Park with my Photography Meetup group.
(For those of you who have never heard of Meetup.com, check it out!)
We were able to get some fun shots of the barns and Waughop Lake in the evening light.

They have a fantastic off-leash dog park. It's HUGE!

This is Belle, our Meetup organizer's dog.

This is one of the other dogs at the park. What a sweetie!


Anyway, it was a fun evening meeting new people and getting some fun shots. To see more, click here.

Mt. Rainier shots

The Tall Ones and I went out to the lake again today, and since I'm taking this cool online photography course, I took my camera so I could play with my ISO settings and (hopefully) get some great shots of the mountain. So let me know, which one do you like best?

The shot is the same, just the settings are different. There's a subtle difference in exposures. Can you tell? Does it make a difference? Let me know what you think!

The Tall Ones

The Tall Ones and I went out on the lake for a couple of hours the other afternoon, and while I didn't get any Chance-of-a-Lifetime photos of bald eagles, I did get some pretty good shots of the boys while wakeboarding. Here's a sampling...

Here's Cole, aka Captain Smartypants

We like to call him Captain Smartypants because he thinks he knows everything. But then, don't all 17-year-olds?

Here's Daniel...the Large Child.

"Oooohhh, what happened to my head?!"

Uh oh, this can't be good!

"Ooohh, what happened to my body?!"

Here they are together, acting like they like each other.

How did I end up with such handsome boys?

And for my final parting shot, the ever-awesome and majestic Mt. Rainier.

I love living in the Pacific NW!!
