The area I live in is called the Emmental and its known for its people, its cheese and its hilly landscape. It has many famers, cows and as you would expect unique cheese factories. The above pic is a typical farmhouse in the Emmental and in the winter months the cows will be in a special space below the living areas. The above pic is just behind the farmhouse as I start to go ...

One can think of it as the gateway to many well known spots and many very special photographic friendly spots. Special about Thun itself is the river plus the lakes that is part of this small city. That presents so many opportunities to the photographer. In the above picture you see part of the city Thun plus one can see the caste at the back. Here you have a view from the caste back onto the Thun Lake. In this ...

We were watching her for a few minutes when all of a sudden two duck heads popped up out of the grass. They have built their nests within a few feet of each other. The ducks disappeared in the grass so I got myself setup, G9 braced on the fence, 24x digital zoom, high ISO, then pulled out my duck call and blew a couple of soft "quacks". The duck heads lifted right up. I was able ...

A couple of weeks before Christmas we got colder than normal. This was followed by heavy snow which stayed around for over a week. Normal for us is brief wet snowstorms that last a couple of days. Well this time we got loads more snow in the city areas and very heavy snow in the Cascade Mountains. Just last week temperatures climbed higher than normal with freezing levels up over 7000’.

This after a couple of days of cold weather and snow all around Seattle, caused a massive traffic snarl. We elected to say home and enjoy the day. We ended up with about 4 inches of snow on top of frozen slush. I dug out some of our snow gear, grabble the G9 and we set off on a nearly all afternoon walk. First off some shots around home….

It has an assortment of fowl….mostly ducks and geese but for some reason it has a resident population of chickens too. This fellow is quite friendly and nearly always runs down the trail to greet us….the fact we have a bag full of cracked corn and bread chunks likely has nothing to do with his excitement in seeing us though.

In this instance I captured a series of shots over about 2 months attempting to document putting a handle on a woodworking tool.

We went down to Mt Rainier National Park on Saturday and came home on Tuesday night. Only a 260 mile round-trip….so a close to home vacation. Mt Rainer is the second highest peak in the lower 48 states in the US. It has 26 named glaciers...more than any other peak in the lower 48. It is only 2.5 hours away from Seattle and its beauty is balanced with its potential to wipe Seattle off the map with an eruption resulting ...
