The youngest took his camera out for a walk through our winter wonderland.

This is taken in the late afternoon sun out my office window in Alaska – the mountains are the Chugach range. I have a great view.

Last weekend, I took some photos while wandering around downtown Poulsbo. It’s a super-cute, Norwegian-themed small town, but it’s hard to capture by camera because it’s so flat and spread out – and so busy!
Regionally famous Sluys’ Bakery has been dishing up Danish pastry for over 40 years.
If I were retired I’d want to hang out here!
Yeah for independent booksellers!
This is the same pavilion as in the sunset picture a couple days ago – and the site of many summer concerts and gatherings.

I’ve been meaning to take some Seattle photos on a day downtown because it’s a beautiful city – but the weather hasn’t cooperated up until last week. Some of these are lunch at the market – and some are the evening walk to the ferry.
I’m not sure why the market is billed as ‘sanitary’, but the pig is fairly famous.
The corner market is newer than the main market behind it. I like the overhead cables in this one – they are for the downtown electric buses.
Just a block away, 4 hours later. It was a beautiful evening.
My lens really fisheyed on this one, corner of 1st & Marion, but it makes the tall city buildings really loom.
This is from the ferry terminal – I liked the lines of the Alaskan Way Viaduct. Qwest Field is in the distance on the right hand side, just above the Viaduct. The elevated roadway is settling every year and is considered one of less stable bridge structures in the US, but officials can’t decide how to replace it.

We drove over to the east side of the mountains today to see the fall color in the pass and get some fresh-picked apples and pears straight from the orchard. We were a little early – color hadn’t really turned yet and the pears weren’t entirely ready – but it was still a beautiful drive.
Dropping down into orchard country.
Apples still on the tree – these are huge Sekai-Ichi variety, excellent eating but not ready yet.
Our favorite fruit stand, Prey’s, a few miles east of Leavenworth on Highway 2.
Endless apples! They have dozens of kinds of apples, and the late varieties aren’t yet picked and available. We picked up 10 lbs each of Tsuguro, Granny Smith and Macintosh, plus some early Red Bartlett pears.
The squash displays were beautiful – plus, winter squash is yummy even if it is a lot of work.
I’m not sure if the bunches of dried peppers were decorative or for cooking/eating.
These sunflowers were really beautiful against the deep blue sky.
This picture has nothing to do with apple orchards – but the stark hillside and feathery clouds in the evening light were a really striking combination.
The lens flare is horrible on this shot, but I still like it. It was taken from the moving car, top down, as we drove into the mountains, directly toward the evening sun.
Note: After Apple Picking is a poem, by Robert Frost.
