"Ashes and Snow"

I'm blogging today after watching videos of Gregory Colbert's photographs. His fine art photography is shown in his Nomadic Museum, an exhibit that has traveled the world. Entitled "Ashes and Snow", it includes at least 100 photos and several film segments amassed over a ten year period. 

Here are a few of his photographs in sepia and black and white. His work is amazing. His lens captures the interaction of animals and people in a way that is both magical and spiritual.

There is so much more to say about this filmmaker/photographer and his ethereal images. If you would like to see more, there are plenty of "Ashes and Snow" websites that will leave you awestruck. 

Easter on Orcas

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter. While going through some old photos, I found these pictures I took while visiting Orcas Island.  It was early spring and the daffodils were in full bloom. It was a great time to be there, and although the weather was still chilly, there was no rain for ten whole days.

Stopped to take in this beautiful field of daffodils in Anacortes, where the ferry leaves from Seattle to the San Juan Islands.

Pike Place Market in Seattle was brimming with tulips in a rainbow of colors. Seeing these makes me wish that I had planted some bulbs. Oh well, maybe next year.
