Spring Snow

It's suppose to be spring time, but here in Oregon it
decided that it wanted to snow.

This was taken only seconds before I got a big pile of snow dropped
on my head from  a branch  above me.

I didn't think this would turn out that good, but I guess that s why you are
suppose to take as many photos as possible.

This is actually a tree that is fallen over. There were about 5- 6 trees
down while I went on my walk today.

This is down at Willamette park. There was a lot of snow and even some flooding.

This is the Willamette river and it has been flooded since my last post.

The Flood of 2012

This was taken down the road from my appartment. I live right where one hill meets another, meaning all of the water from the flooding pooled up right down my road. I was stuck in my house for about 2 days.

I waited for about 15 min. to see if this car was dumb enough to try an make it trough this. He was, and he made it but jsut barely. He car stalled out. Luckily he was a ctually able to coast out of the deep part. Enough to get it started and drive off anyway.

Rolling Water

Water is pouring out of a little pipe and running over top of these small rocks. I really like the way you can see how the water moves with every rock it hits.

Seaweed

You wouldn't think this would make a good picture by looking at it on the beach,

but for some reason it did.

Beach on Orcas

Took this photo while Aurelia Christensen was looking for shells and whatnot.

Wedding Invite...

My girlfriend (Aurelia Christensen) seems to think that this photo looks like a wedding invitation. I always tell her that I have no idea what she is talking about.

Leathery Flower

These flowers are really weird feeling, they are almost like really soft leather.

Passing Portland

This picture is a little blurry because we were going so fast past it. I was mostly just proud that I made nothing into something.

Hang in There Little Guy

I just thought this was a pretty funny photo. It reminds me of those posters of the cats hanging from something and then it says "hang in there".

Same Photo, Different Story

This was taken while I was on a ferry going to Orcas Island. I really like them both just because they tell completely different stories.

Bridges

Took this from inside the car. I originally thought that it sucked, but with some editing it became at least interesting.

Building in Seatle

Just passing through Seatle decided to take some photos from inside the car. Turned out pretty dang good if I do say so myself.

Ethan Klopfenstein

This is a photo of my half-brother. He was upset that his mom wouldn't buy him a toy, so to cheer him up I told him I was going to take his picture, so he had to smile. I didn't think it would turn out so good.

The Light Shines Through

I couln't even see what I was taking a photo of because I had to put my hand down a pretty eerie hole. Totally worth it though.

Restricted Area

I wasn't suppose to be on this part of the beach, but I saw a good photo opportunity and couldn't pass it up. I'm glad I didn't.

Outside a church

Pretty flower outside a church... not much else to say except I love this picture.

Wilting Flower

I didn't want this flower to look like it was wilting, so I took its photo with flash to give it that appearance.

Peephole ;)

This is one of those eye holes that they put into concrete so you can lift it up. I took this photo as a joke but then it turned out really good. This is a beach on Orcas Island.

Before and After



These shots took me sooo many tries to get it right. I still didn't quite get what I wanted but I think it still worked out.

Blue Purple Flowers

Not a clue what these flowers are, but aren't they pretty? Picture from Orcas Island. One of my favorites.

Foxglove

One of my all time favorite photos I have. Its a Foxglove on Orcas Island.

In the process of blooming

This is a flower on my grandparents porch that live on Orcas Island in Washington. Its working on blooming at the beginning of summer.

Dead Log, Live Plant

This was taken on Orcas Island in Washington. I really like to take photos showing new life that is dependent on something old.

Multnomah Falls Oregon

One of the few edited photos I have. This use to be a vertical panarama of Multnomah Falls.

Bee and Flower

This shot took me about 12 tries.
