On Saturday morning I tried to catch a glorious sunrise from the shores of Lake Washington. No luck. Like my Alki adventure a few weeks ago, Saturday's sunrise was all clouds, clouds and more clouds.
The picture below is the only one from the whole day that I actually like. I love the rays of sunshine, and the rolling Cascades in the background. The dreary tree in the foreground is a reminder that fall is almost at its bitter end.
I couldn't leave the beach without at least one shot of the supposed sunrise. A knotty log came in handy for framing the boring clouds.
This one reminded me of the dreamy, dewey willow pics that I took in August from the Kirkland waterfront. Dang; what a difference a few months makes! Such a contrast.
These two shots aren't the best from an artistic or technical standpoint. Rather, I took these as a quick demonstration of the coolness of the glass Canon close-up filter to show Cole (he was kind enough to join me on today's shoot). That 50mm is amazing. I love it.
And what trip to the Northwest urban wilderness would be complete without a picture of moss. This one is called "mossna" because, well, what else are you going to call moss?
Sometimes you just need a prop. I liked how the fall background in this shot showed a preview to winter's forthcoming desolation. But, as a fan of pretty things, I didn't want a landscape of dormant trees. So, I "used what I had" and posed my cozy scarf on the rockwall.
And that's it for the weekend! I am finding that I notice great shots everywhere. It is a combination of inspiring and annoying. Anyway, I may not have taken many actual photographs this weekend, but I have a ton in my mind, adding to my internal portfolio of beautiful images.
