sure glad i thought of this, completely on my own and not because any of you suggested it ;-). actually it was kind of funny. when i read the comment by http://tdm.smugmug.com/ on the pic of my sis and this tree suggesting one of me would make a nice triple with her and DOD i thought "what a great idea i'll ask my sis" so i called her and left a message asking for a pic like this one. before i heard back from her i checked my e-s and earlier in the day, before i was on, she'd already seen the pic and the comment and sent me this pic because she thought it was a good idea too. so thanks for the idea and here is the result. sis's camera is about twice the mgpx, and half the size - no cam envy me ;-) , as mine so if you view larger - the bark is pretty cool i think - it'll take longer to load probably. hope you have a great weeek

1000+ year old sitka spruce
quinault, wa
10/24/09

this tree is just awe inspiring. you can feel the age but also the continued vitality. i very much wanted to get a pic like the one with my late DOD (link below) but there were some very rude people deliberately blocking access so sis and i made do with a different angle. rude people are their own problem and best just ignored if at all possible i feel. sis and i were happy with the pics we got anyway, and the connection to DOD was there regardless also. glad for those of you that got a chuckle from yesterday's sign shot, can never have too many laughs in a day i think. i'm doing better again and plan to comment as much as i can while my energy holds. really looking forward to catching up. the dailies, and smug in general have such wonderful pics all the time that even a couple days leave many wonderful pics missed. hope you're having a great week-end

this is the tallest lighthouse in washington and third largest on the u.s. west coast. i've included links below for those who'd like more pics,  history and info. the two little 'pegs' in front of the small building are my sis and her friend which will give oyu some scale. we didn;t go inside but one can go up for a fee and willingness to climb over one-hundred steps. there's always some great pics on smug and in the dailies but it sure seems there's been a h9igh percetage of really fine stuff lately. wasn't able to spend as much time as i wanted smuggin but did get to see a lot of great pics. i know i've said it before but it jsut gets more true - its a pleasure and privilege to be involved with so many nice people and fine photogs!

dedmanshootn > the always awesome ruby beach, wa (sepia)
10/19/09

this is one of my fav places i've ever been. for scale the tiny dot on the beach by the wave braking at the rear of the big rock in the center right ( straight below between the t and n of the watermark ) is an adult person. the path down was tougher than i was up to doing alas so i stayed up at the lookout while sis went down and poked around. we weren't here more than forty-five minutes and in that time i talked with some germans, chinese, koreans, canadians and people from several places around the usa including boston and chicago. i reckon its not just me that finds this place worth visitng and awe-inspiring! because i couldn't go down i was shooting waves from up here with my five-hundreed mm. its amazing how a long lens draws attention and conversations! i passed out a bunch of business cards. if any of you are seeing this i hope you enjoy my take and feel free to use the e-mail link on my card or homepage to contact me as i'd love to see your take. i hope everyone has a great week. remember to smile at someone today. if you're interested there's a color vertical shot from the last time i visited here:

dedmanshootn > the whole mt and the lodge
08/21/09

schmoo's comment on my previous mountain pic made me think of this one so i got it processed and you're getting it for my daily. totally have forgotten the name of this lodge but it definitely has a world class view. there's a lift running off to the right over to the main ski areas too. i'm glad y'all enjoyed the jay as much as sis and i did. hope you don't mind getting more pics from our sunday trip but since i still can't get out really and many of you may remember my motto (on link below if not) when that happens i'm sure you'll think they're better than the alternative ;-) . peace and joy be yours abundantly today. posting early and off to bed

dedmanshootn > mt shuksan (southwest detail)
08/19/09

view at largest to check out the cool, ;-), glacier detail. thanks so much for all the kind well wishes and wishes i get well. very much appreciated. not healing as fast as i'd like but about as fast as is normal for my age doc says. still stuck in the 'boot', has about the same affect as when they 'boot' your car for illeagal parking. perhaps shouldn't have gotten this pic but.... sunday my sis really wanted to go to the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, especially heather meadows and artist's point, which were some of DOD's fav places in the entire world. we were both missing DOD a bit extra as sunday would've been his seventy-eigth b-day. foot healing-wise i probably shouldn't have gone but i tried to take it easy and there's more to healing than just the physical i think. the day with my sis couldn't have been better. we both took a "few" pics and i finally processed a couple so i'm sharing this one with you now. still can't keep my foot elevated while using puter so won't be on much but wanted to let you knwo i'm still alive, if not yet kickin. wanted to try this in b&w as somehow the day in the mountains made both sis and i think of ansel adams work. the links are to info on the area and a color version. hope you're aware of your many blessings today. i'm trying to be

sure glad i thought of this, completely on my own and not because any of you suggested it ;-). actually it was kind of funny. when i read the comment byhttp://tdm.smugmug.com/ on the pic of my sis and this tree suggesting one of me would make a nice triple with her and DOD i thought "what a great idea i'll ask my sis" so i called her and left a message asking for a pic like this one. before i heard back from her i checked my e-s and earlier in the day, before i was on, she'd already seen the pic and the comment and sent me this pic because she thought it was a good idea too. so thanks for the idea and here is the result. sis's camera is about twice the mgpx, and half the size - no cam envy me ;-) , as mine so if you view larger - the bark is pretty cool i think - it'll take longer to load probably. hope you have a great weeek
