Eastern Washington is dry country. But with the spring rains, the land has been, lately and temporarily, green. I went down to the river the other day and was mesmerized by the green-ness of the grass. I took some pictures.
Then felt I needed to get closer. There were so many different kinds of grass, and in so many different shades. I zoomed in tight on some. But I kept being drawn in.
Soon I was laying on my belly with a macro lens poking into the forest of blades of grass. I have some of the pictures here.

We’ve had a good bit of snow in Spokane lately. Last winter, I enjoyed going out in the snow and shooting away. This year, I thought I’d try something different and try to photograph the snow in action–that is, falling. It’s not easy. The snow was thick and fast. I tried various things, including manual focusing on an area between a tree across the street and where I was standing, figuring that surely a snowflake would be in focus. I’m not sure the experiments were an unqualified success, but they are kind of interesting, if you want to take a peek.

This little gallery is of an afternoon about a week ago. There is text at the top right of the images.

It snowed last night. It came in on a wind. A thick, wet, heavy snow that stuck on branches and the sides of trees.
I woke up, saw the beautiful white world, and decided to take a little walk around my neighborhood. It was quiet outside, a sleepy Saturday, and the snow was a blanket while the city rested. I went, of course, with camera in (numb) hand.

It’s foggy.
It’s cold.
It’s windy.
It’s snowy.
It’s dark a lot.
I go out to take pictures now and then.
Here are some from the winter so far.
