The house boats in Fisherman’s Wharf were beautiful, each one expressing something about its owner. We walked by this sculpture attached to one of the house boats. Note the code for scanning in the bottom left corner of the image – these folks want to be noticed!

Another image from our day in Victoria BC. This totem pole is on the grounds of the Victoria Legislature complex. I was naughty and didn’t read the plaque so I could tell you the story. Sorry.

My lovely bride took me on a water taxi ride a week ago. We ended up in Fisherman’s Wharf – a community of houseboats and wonderful photo opportunities. Here’s one of the images.
As usual, I bracketed exposures, merged in Adobe Camera Raw, and processed in PhotoShop with a Photo RAW filter. I have more work to do on the image – I want to brighten the reflections in the water a little more. Any other ideas?

It’s Bonus Day! While driving up to Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park, my lovely bride and I marveled at the beauty and number of the wildflowers along the road. I stopped several times to take pictures. These two close ups are among my favorites. Both images were bracketed exposures, merged and processed in Adobe Camera Raw and processed in PhotoShop.

I think this is a Sierra Lily (or at least that’s what my Sierra Nevada Wildflowers book tells me).
The Paintbrush is gorgeous anywhere.
Today’s PS Challenge image comes from WA 123, just south of the Stevens Pass entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park. My lovely bride and I just returned from a trip to Washington state to celebrate our grandson’s 5th birthday, including side trips to the Palouse Region in southeast WA, Mt. Rainier and Olympic National Parks, and a day in Victoria B.C.
This image was made from two exposures, processed in Photomatix Pro and PhotoShop with an On1 Photo RAW filter.
I’m just starting to work the pictures, so be patient and enjoy! PHOTOROGR
Today’s PS Challenge image is the right drive wheel of a 1910 Sears Model R pickup. This vehicle was a prop in a photo shoot I did recently and I was intrigued by the lines and light.
I shot this handheld, bracketed exposures, merged in Adobe Camera Raw, and processed in PhotoShop with a Photo RAW filter.

Today’s PS Challenge image comes from the Virginia Range, north of Stagecoach NV. I made this image a few weeks ago when I was out with my old retired guy ATV group. We encountered several bands of wild horses on the ride. Three of these four were more concerned with the guys in the lead, but one kept his eye on me. Bracketed exposures combined in Adobe Camera Raw, cropped in PhotoShop with a filter from Nik Color Efex Pro.

Today’s PS Challenge comes from the dining area at Walker Burger in Walker CA. My lovely bride and I took the Bullitt for a spin and ended up there. Love their burgers! If you haven’t had one, you don’t know what you’re missing! But those if us who have eaten there know!
They have a wonderful outdoor eating area with picnic tables, trees, lawn, yard art, and bird houses and feeders. I tried to catch some of the little birds on the feeder, but you can imagine how that went. Here’s one of the beautiful bird feeders/art works on display. I bracketed exposures, processed it in PhotoMatix and PhotoShop, and added a little filter from On1 PhotoRAW.

Today’s PS Challenge image is Jobs Peak and the Sierras, taken from Johnson Lane in the Carson Valley about a month ago. There’s still snow on the Sierras at this time, but the summer heat obscures the beautiful colors in the mountains.

Today’s PS Challenge comes from Lake Tahoe. My lovely bride and I took a drive to the Lake yesterday and hiked around the Taylor Creek Visitor’s Center. We didn’t do the Rainbow Trail – we took the Lake of the Sky Trail to the Kiva Beach area.
For those of you who don’t recognize her, this is my lovely bride. She looks very relaxed since she retired and is sporting a new hairdo!
