The weather was overcast and unexpectedly dry today. This seemed like the perfect opportunity for a photography excursion to Wallace Falls.

I have no idea what I’m doing with a camera most of the time, but I have no trouble instructing my husband on how to take better pictures. Here, he patiently listens to me as I give him a lecture on “filling the frame.” Or maybe he’s just enduring me until I stop and turn the camera back over to him.

I don’t remember the last time I visited Mt. Rainier when there wasn’t snow at Paradise. It was a rare treat these last few days to wander the hiking trails, even if the mountain was a little shy about showing herself.

It’s time to have our house repainted (the joys of homeownership!), so I went to the paint store to see what kind of yellows I could find. We most likely have decided to paint our house “friendly yellow.” (Can I have the job of naming paint colors in my next life?)

In the mean time, walls of well-lit paint chips make for interesting Photoshop fun.

I spent some time at Stevens Pass yesterday. It was mostly a work day, but there were a few minutes between appointments for snapping pictures.

This was the first time in a while that I’d taken my Canon 30D out. I’d forgotten how fun it can be to shoot with it, although I was a bit surprised by the shutter lag. Has it always been there and I hadn’t noticed it before? Something to ponder…
