This lovely penstemon was spotted in the Siskiyou Mountains of southern Oregon. The glandular hairs are awesome on this species.

Bug's eye view of a lily
Walking along a roadside in the Siskiyous, I spotted this beautiful red lily growing on a road cut. I like trying to capture the point of view of an insect who may be seeking nectar or pollen.

Frosty sunrise
I don't usually do HDR processing, but we went to the OSU cornfield before sunrise this past Saturday, specifically to shoot these hay bales. The frost on the ground combined with the glow of the sun coming up made for ideal HDR conditions. This is a combination of five images. I used HDR Efex Pro as a plug-in for Aperture 3.2.

Skylight
The Seattle Underground is an interesting place to visit in Pioneer Square. The tour takes you through a series of old walkways that were buried as the city was raised above the groundwater zone. This is one of the sidewalk skylights that illuminate the old corridors of the underground.
