Thanks Alan - I love it when the subject separates itself from the background and I don't have to do anything about it :)

Neat shots. I love the rainbows although the double 'bow is tilted a bit to the left. Ships bring windmill parts into the Port of Vancouver and then they load the pieces onto trucks to be taken out to eastern Washington and Oregon. The windmill blades look ridiculous when the trucks are taking...

The unopened bud of a Cosmos bloom. Very late bloomer but it's nice to still see something in blossom so close to the rainy season. C&C always welcome.

Wonderful light for this view of the pass.

Thanks Jameel - I hope to get up into the Gorge sometime today to get a view of how the colors are progressing this fall. We've just had a few days of rain which should freshen things up a bit.

Sounds like Mother Nature can throw us some curveballs no matter how well laid out your plans might be. Still some nice colors in this particular scene of some maples. Looks like a lot of color still come at least in this case. Things are just getting started down in the urban areas but I need...

Thanks Jim - I was horrified when I went back to this spot last fall and discovered I couldn't recreate this scene/color show given the die-off from waterlogged roots. This little V shape in the wetlands is where Young Creek (on the left) meets up with the outflow of Latourell Creek at the...

Thanks Jim - not quite sure how this part of the Gorge got its name and until reading your comment had no idea there was a St. Cloud in Minnesota. Is there some individual that is considered a saint of clouds? :)

Very striking golds in this stand of aspen. Quite the contrast to everything else in the frame.

I like the foreground stair landing as a visual anchor to this scene.

Very simple but effective composition. Lighting is everything here.

This pass might not be open much longer this year. I like the patches of red in the scene. Have the Larches already changed?

My brain is melting now :p Nice colors and reflections.

Thanks Murali - this is a drone shot from around 350 feet out over the Columbia River. I rotated the drone 180º after several shots of Multnomah Falls. With a drone you need to avoid most of the ground in front of the falls as that is a designated no fly zone so I fly out over the river and use...

The IR palette with the stark grays for the ground layer adds to the somber mood of this scene. Almost makes the dead feel even more dead if that's possible.......

When I first took this image in Rooster Rock State Park a couple of years ago I was so fixated on how colorful everything was I didn't really notice that there was a distinct line of dead branches and old small trees all along the edge of the stands of trees lining the wetland grasses. None of...

Very sharp details in all of these images. This camera body/lens+extender combination sounds like a keeper in my book.

Quite the flashback in time to see all these blooms with fall tapping on the front door. Nice colors.
