Colorful

The colors at sunset tonight were a sight to behold. But all things this time of year are fleeting. By the time I managed to get the lens changed on my camera most of the colors were not as brilliant. But I did manage to get the camera ready to take this shot. The Moon is coming back to us! Lets hope that we get some clear days to be able to see her in all her glory.

Artistic !

Getting to spend some time this weekend with my son. He is spending part of his weekend catching up on homework. And because I am a little nosy I found out that he drew this sketch for his art class. Now he is in the process of redrawing it to a larger size. I hope the second sketch comes out as good as this one.

For Nana!

A little something for Nana. A wonderful person who tries to find the Sunshine even on a gloomy day. May your days be filled with Sunshine and Kindness!

GPS!

Driving in the fog this morning reminded me about something that I have been wondering about for a few weeks. We were over in eastern Washington for a little visit with our son. We went to dinner in Lewiston and were on our way back to Pullman. The fog had settled in and since I was not driving there was time to look around at the other drivers. A weird thought came to me as we were tooling along the road. Some of the cars that we passed had GPS systems on the dash, and I began to wonder how many people would try to use them to drive as the road got harder to see in the fog. The very next weekend a friend of mine took me down to the beach to work on one of his cars. It was foggy and he had his GPS on the dash and I started bugging him about being able to drive in the fog with his GPS. So how many drivers would think that their GPS would be able to let them navigate roads with zero visibility?

Foghorns

What a lovely sound to wake up to in the morning. It is so peaceful this early in the morning. Well off to drive in the fog and see if I can find the road. --------------That was a sight, got half way to work and saw the sliver of the moon trying to break through the fog.

Time passes Quickly!

Well this has been a strange week. New opportunities at work that keep me busy. And good news about a friend at work. Hopefully she will stay healthy for a long long time. And the time is passing very quickly nowadays. Six months ago my father left us for a better place. Does not seem like it has been that long ago. When I talked to my mom this week you could hear the heartache in her voice from thinking about it. This holiday season is going to be rough on her, I will just have to spend more time with her. Got lucky this week, managed to get close enough to a flock of Geese to get a couple of shots of them. They were very skittish so this was as close as I was able to get to them.

Father's Appreciation Day.

Just got back from a wonderful weekend visiting my son and his girlfriend at school. The scenery on the drive over was very lovely, the fall colors looked great this time of year.The wind towers are getting closer to the river on the Oregon side of the gorge. Should have stopped and took some pictures of them but when you see them everyday they loose interest after a while. The kids gave me my birthday present when we got there. And tonight I got to eat a piece of the carrot cake that my son's girlfriend made for me. YUMMY!!!! We spent part of the day Saturday at the football game. The game started out nice but they could not hold off the other team. Saturday night we drove into Lewiston, Idaho for dinner. The gas prices were $2.09 a gallon, too bad we filled up in Pullman earlier in the day. The drive back on Sunday was long because of fog around Pullman, but we did make good time after the fog lifted.

Some Shots around an old Defense Battery!

Just a few of the things that I found interesting at the Fort Steven's Battery Russell.

October Scenes!

Another month has passed and I need to be shooting more pictures. A new month is just beginning and new opportunities are just around the corner.
