A preview of things to come?

Sunshine glints through frozen droplets
Dangling from the lichens in the tree
Autumn by the calendar is not yet at its end
A sneak-peek of weather soon to be

Spring is Here

Winter

Record snows in the east along the central Atlantic coast, snow in the deep south almost to the Gulf coast. A chill in much of the United States.

This weekend in Los Angeles, forecast highs in the 70sF with sunshine, clear air, and green hills...

In the Sky

Popcorn clouds in the foreground give way to a strip of coastline; sunlight glints golden off the ocean beneath offshore cloud layers.


Sunbeams caress Pacific mountain ranges.


Haze clinging to the mountains and the ocean flooded with the sun's golden glare.

Bellevue Washington

A stroll through the streets of Bellevue on a crystal clear winter Sunday afternoon. In the past decade or so, and particularly over the last couple of years, many new buildings have been and are being built. The skyline resembles the future as imagined and illustrated 50 years ago: clean lines, reflective surfaces, bright blue sky. The low-angle winter sun at this latitude brightly illuminates some buildings which reflect in the mirrored windows of others. Sharp angles scatter the view. Secondary and sometimes tertiary reflections make for an interesting scene.

Down on the Farm
