There's a creek alongside the trail I walk sometimes, and I like the blue colors of the sky reflecting in the water on nice days. The leaves of Spring are returning now, and my view of the creek is slowly disappearing. Life... The battery in my Canon took a break, and I took these photos with my iPhone.

The shadow self portrait was in my FB Memories folder recently. I was stuck using my iPhone camera the yesterday because I didn't charge my slr camera batteries, but I got some interesting green foliage shots with the sun showing through. The green colors are fun to play with when I convert them to Black and White.

the Bothell Historical Museum on a cold Winter morning...at least that's what it felt like when the temperature was 38 F

fallen, wet leaves blown off the pathway, with the early morning sun...

These shots could have been part of my recent looing-through-trees posts. They were posts from 5 years and 7 years ago:

4 years ago, 9Apr2020, the black lines of Winter are giving way to the new leaves of Spring...

I'm always looking into/through the trees and foilage when I'm walking, trying to capture what I'm seeing with my eyes, with my camera. The different tools in my editng software have been fun to play with, and sometimes I get results that I like. I shoot in Auto, and I push the shutter button just enough see the auto focus points. Moving the framing to what looks interesting, and adjusting the lens manually, I often take multiple shots with different focal points. In this post, I cropped and zoomed in with each edit without any "creative" computer software tricks. I did like the black and white photo though.

When I was walking over the bridge the other day, I remember thinking "it's time for some more bridge Wood shots"...

UW campus 7 tears ago, on 2Apr2017...another looking through trees photo

This is a shot similar to the one I posted on Sunday, from a few years ago, with different weather.

from my walk along the river this morning...

more shots from our visit to Alona Beach on Panglao Island, Bohol last month...

I like looking at trees through trees. This time of the year, early Spring, the black lines of leafless trees are still here, but add in some early morning sunshine like the background in these shots... I'm seeing lines, texture, color, and layers.
