Alaska trip photos
I went fishing twice and saw whales both times - the orca with Augustine happened on the second trip, when I’d figured out that you just have to take a LOT of shots and hope you get lucky. Even though it was very calm for the middle of Cook Inlet, with the boat moving and the whales moving it’s hard to get them in the frame and in focus, so getting one lined up with the mountain was crazy lucky.
Cherry blossoms down at the tidal basin
This has been a pretty nice cherry blossom season in DC - a little windy but warm enough that they haven’t fallen to the ground early like last year. These were down around the tidal basin, across from the Jefferson Memorial. There are some less crowded spots out around Hains Point, but there’s something about the trees around the tidal basin - the light off the water illuminates the blossoms from below I think. There’s a bus from the parking at Hains Point to the tidal basin this year, so it’s easy enough to see all the trees.
Biohazard moving bags…
I suppose they were free at work or something, but is saving $5 worth having your neighbors think you’re moving out due to Ebola infection?
Pink water lily
I just had to get that ling cod eye moved down the page. This was taken at Brookside Gardens at Wheaton Regional Park, summer 2004. I’m amazed sometimes digging through old photos, proof I need a better way to organize photos…
