I took myself on a light hike yesterday because the sun was supposed to come out and we never know when that's gonna happen again in the Pacific Northwest at this time of year.

I chose the off leash trail so I could meet some dogs and gain a bit of elevation for my heart rate. Muddy, but worth it. After that, I decided I wanted to walk around the lake, too.

Trying something different with my photography. Haven’t quite worked out how I’ll be doing this but wanted to try this process out. Let me know what you think? Thanks!

Nice, peaceful sunrise at Lake Padden this morning. Looking forward to when the shoreline trees change color.

Early bike ride to Lake Padden this morning for sunrise. Wasn't quite feeling the long exposure would do much. So I decided to snap some ICM photos in between taking photos of the fog. I mostly came to the lake to check the autumn colors and some peace. Happy to get one of those! Looking forward to finding the other soon!

Good morning… it’s the simple things that keep me going. I sometimes forget to make the coffee to go with me in the mornings but I feel like I’m not even gonna get out in the now chilly mornings if I don’t.

So, I got up this morning and biked over to #lakewhatcom for sunrise. I do like that I don’t have to get up at 3am for that anymore. Totally stoked for the autumn colors coming in the next few weeks.

I found this… circle of stones that were creating this focus point for me that I just loved. I hoped I could get the angle similar to a previous shot I had gotten at #lakepadden a few weeks ago but I wasn’t liking the forced perspective.

This last weekend I did something I’ve never done before. I took photos of a meteor shower, the Perseids meteor shower to be specific. My gym buddy had asked if I was going to photograph the meteor shower. Considering that was the first time I had heard of it, I confidently said “yeah, sure…”
