We’ve had a gorgeous run of beautiful weather during the day – and an unbelievable full moon at night. There’s a string of houses along Point White that all have gorgeous waterfront views of Mt. Rainier, and only one spot along the road where a photographer can peep in between the hedges. This is it.

Annual Labor Day celebration up here in the Pac Northwest…
It’s not just about music, but that’s how it started…
…for example, the water fountain…
We spent the weekend at the family compound for the the annual “summer clean-up”. Here are a few photos from the weekend.
The Barn House Boys – Joe and Jermonne – host one of the premiere “vintage” markets in the country once each summer, in the “back yard” of their enchanting farm house in rural Battle Ground, Washington. People come from all over to see, buy, eat, drink, listen, play – and [...]
Twice a year, Bainbridge has a very special event – an old-fashioned vintage style flea market held at the historic Seabold Community Hall on the north end of the island.
Liz Le Dorze, who founded “Seabold Vintage Market” in 2009, keeps it intentionally small with just 4-6 additional local vendors in [...]
Actually the Pacific Northwest is anything but frigid. But this morning, with frost encrusting the windows of the truck and the dogs exhaling long streams of steam as they waited for me to scrape the windows, it actually felt like we were joining the rest of the country’s cold snap. Maybe it’s just a sympathetic cold…
We don’t have a lot of sun up here in the Pacific Northwest, but we do have some interesting combinations of weather and scenery. While the rest of the country is frozen or under snow, up here everything is verdant, lush, moist, spongy, misty – even sometimes mystical. And it somehow makes the morning coffee [...]
After passing through North Cascades National Park, the Palouse is an interesting change of geography in this inter-mountain region between the Cascades and the Rockies…
Aside from the constant roar of Harleys (it’s a favorite autumn ride for anyone on two wheels), this was a beautiful drive…
This delightful market is held four times a year. Here’s their web site: http://seaboldvintagemarket.blogspot.com/
It’s held at the Seabold Community Hall on Bainbridge Island, Washington and is one of the most popular vintage markets on the west coast. Collectors line up as much as an hour before it opens, to grab the best stuff.

I’m heading to Asia on a two-week trip. Thought I’d post a few pictures along the way. These are my first ones, just getting to the airport. All taken with my iPhone…
These cyclists are poised to get off the ferry as soon as it lands. I like the guy on the right, with none [...]
This picture has a few stories to it. I find the natural juxtaposition between the males and the females to be of interest…
Actually there’s a story behind this. The feet belong to a baby-sitter and the child is with her in the back of the pickup. Outside the Seabold Vintage Market, which is held on Bainbridge Island four times a year.
“Okay, it’s getting cold in my hand, you can have it now.”

Okay I think this is where the word “majestic” is not over-used. Mt. Rainier and the Bremerton Ferry, viewed from Bainbridge Island.
