10-22-12 Along the Skykomish RIver in Washington. We drove up Route 2 which is part of the Cascades Loop in Washington to see if we could find some fall color and were treated to some nice scenery. There was a winter cold front coming in so the air was a bit nippy. We were rewarded with out efforts here.

Critiques welcome.

11-6-12 Ravenna Fall Color - This was found while I was walking around a Seattle neighborhood looking for fall color after I was told that my doctor was running more than 30 minutes late. It was beautiful out and I decided to see if I could find a nice neighborhood tree. This was taken with my Panasonic GH2 and a 20mm 1.7 Panasonic lens.

Critiques welcome.

4-27-13 This is most likely the last tulip picture in this series. I took this a little after sunrise when there was still color in the sky. I used my fisheye and then used Lightroom's lens correction to defish it.
