Sometimes when I'm bored, I'll just take some foliage and trees photos and play around with the editing...

These are a few shots I pulled off of my new GoPro. I'm more of a still photo person, but I'm hoping to share some video attempts soon.

The Bothell Historical Museum is in the park across the street. These are some window reflection shots. I adjusted my focus when I saw that character with the sombrero walking by. 

I walked through our downtown en route to the river yesterday. I wanted to take a few photos of the memorial for our fallen cop...

I took a bunch of these photos at Evans Creek the other day. Over the years, I've always preferred my early morning walks. The low angle of an early morning sun can give off a bronze, gold kind of color, and wonderful shadows. Since I gained a walking mate last month, our walks have moved to mid-day, and the sun is directly above us. It's been a pleasant surprise how nice the colors and shadows are when we walk in heavily forested areas. Another factor might be that I was shooting these with my Canon SLR.
