Light on Vancouver Lake Path

Chris and I visited Vancouver Lake yesterday afternoon. I got some good shots of the sun getting lower in the sky as we began our walk back towards our car further on down the path. It was just a simple street and path, but the light made it truly beautiful.

I am blown away at how amazing nature is. It seems to really call to me.

I am beginning to think I should put some focus on photography in addition to painting etc. After all, with modern photographic methods, there is no longer any danger of getting toxified from the chemicals like I did back in the day. Chris tells me I still have the touch.

The thing is is that Chris and I spent some time talking with this one fellow whose wife was taking pictures of the lake with her huge new camera.

I just had my little cell phone for these, but honestly felt like the day was so perfect it invited the photographer in anyone. Ever feel like that?? It had been raining quite a bit for a few days, so the sun came out and pulled out all the stops. The land was green and glistening.

To top it off, the trees are turning color so it was a riot out there!

Soft Scenes, Vancouver WA Late Afternoon/Early Evening

Went for a walk yesterday evening and took a couple of decent shots of our local Vancouver area before there just wasn’t enough light.  I love how soft and inviting it is here! And how trees, vines and bushes are so abundant.

This photo is of a favorite vista I often see during my daily walk:

“Plane Landing” above beach in Vancouver, WA

Chris and I took a walk along the Columbia River here in Vancouver to celebrate the glorious day. This beach below was towards the end of the trail. You can see the plane about to land.
