Trillium

The trillium is the true harbinger of spring in the Northwest. Its bright triad of petals, lighting up the forest floor.
Come forward sun, beam your light through these transparent wings. In your honor we reflect back the light and warmth of your gift.
Damn near holy, these fucking trilliums, there everywhere right now.

Green as the month of March. I like the contrast of the new bud with the bare branch and thorn. I really punched up the green in the background, not sure if that's the accurate shade, but it looks striking.

I thought the colors on this one would look nice against the black background here.. Just another picture of the spring in waiting out there on these crisp end of winter days. Before you know it the full force of spring will be upon us rushing us headlong into the sun.

Family photos

some photos I recently copied into the digital realm. Most are of me as a kid, although a couple are of my nephews, Caleb and Duncan. That first one is my Dad with his camera, can't believe I am probably older than he was in that photo, that is me on his back.

A beautiful Beginning of March, a sunny day on the sound with Isabel. These rocks with clusters of barnacles looked like little dwellings carved into the cliffs.
