Rain is falling across the Pacific Northwest, rising temperatures melting last weeks heavy snow in the Cascades and coast range, rivers are rising. Meanwhile I’m enjoying being dry, warming the cabin, burning blown down Red Alder, Douglas Fir and Aborvitae.
The past week I’ve reviewed 100,000 digital images. Adventures at low tide on the Pacific coast, bird watching on the beach or local wetlands. Many more are historical images digitized last winter.
Past lives documented by my ever present camera, portraits of classmates, family and friends.
There are early landscapes and intimate portraits of artists working at the family business.
I’m thinking winter months are going to be a productive time of learning.
UPDATE: The 2024 January wind and ice storms changed my plans for winter projects. Instead of digitizing the past I learned about Forest Restoration and Remediation.
