Touch of Indigo

An indigo bunting bird rests on the petals of a sunflower at a sunflower farm, north of Spokane, WA. It's unusual to see an indigo bunting in the Spokane area, but word must have gotten out among the birds that this huge field of sunflower was not to be missed.

Japanese Gardens at Manito Park

The Nishinomiya Japanese Garden was created as part of the World's Fair in Spokane in 1974. It's small compared to others, but it's highly regarded, ranked the 16th best public Japanese garden in North America. This photo means a lot to me because of the circumstances behind it. In 2o14 I was treated for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and after getting out of the hospital from my first week of chemotherapy, I wandered out to take pictures and ended up here. I was disoriented by my circumstances, but felt anchored by the beauty and serenity of this scene. I'm now in remission from Lymphoma, and I like to think of this garden as one of the "treatments" that helped with the cure.

Palouse Falls Milky Way Arch

The lights of Spokane, Pullman, and Moscow can be see on the horizon, with the Milky Way rising over Palouse Falls.

Orion's Barn

A classic old barn nestled into the rolling hills of the Palouse region near Spokane, Washington. Orion is visible half way up to the right of the Milky Way. Look for the three prominent stars that make up Orion's belt. The triangle on the side of the barn matches the lower triangle that makes up the Orion constellation, thus "Orion's Barn." Jupiter is the bright light at the upper left. I used the headlight of my car, covered by a pillowcase, to illuminate the foreground, and a long exposure to reveal the details of the starry sky.

Lake Coeur d'Alene Sunset

Lake Coeur d'Alene is one of the most beautiful lakes in the country, and also one of the most difficult to photograph, because o the lack of clear vistas. I found this view by driving back from taking photos of bald eagles at Wolf Lodge Bay. It took a little hiking, and some uncomfortable proximity to freeway traffic, but it was worth it.

Tilting Petal
