Stark Cluster | Bellingham Photographer

Yesterday I was driving around the bay and I saw this cluster of trees by the water.  Their pale white bodies looked so stark against the blue sky and green under brush that I had to photograph them.  But the true beauty, at least for me, came out when I made the image black and white.

Evergreens in Autumn | Bellingham Photographer

This is the little woods that is by my home.  I like traveling through this place because there is always so much to photograph.  Sure, it is basically tall trees and ferns, but I love how it looks different every time I visit this place simply because of the light.

The River | Bellingham Photographer

In what seems like the last day of sunshine around here, I spent the morning with a friend - just driving around and taking photographs.  These are two of the photographs I took... The river was low, so we decided to venture out on the rocky river bed - close to the water - and see what photographs we could take.

Frustrated with not being able to get the sort of photograph I wanted, I walked shin-deep into the river (yes, I still had my Sketchers on) and took the first photo.  The water was cold, and I didn't dare venure any further because the rocks were slippery and I knew I would take a tumble and possibly damage my camera.  The second photograph was taken with me getting as low as possible without soaking every inch of me in river water.  It's always good to remember angles count!

The Ferns

It has been super cold out all week. So cold that we're breaking temperature records. However, I did notice an interesting thing... the ferns growing around Lake Padden seem to be thriving in this deep chill. Normally ferns like more temperate weather, but these babies are a brilliant, bright green, thick, and lush. Go figure!
