Sunshyne, I saw your question in the Digital Photography thread asking if there was a place to share photos we've taken. Is this the place? I'm gonna be a hog and post some pics here, anyways.

Very cool, Jewels! I am about five volcanos north of you. I am planning to go up Mt. Baker as soon as we get a sunny day while the big snow is still there. And I am planning on going over Highway 20 just as soon as they get it open. Right now parts of it are under 55 FEET of snow. LOL.

Yikes! This pictures was actually taken last July when we were camping up in the mountains. If you look just right of the lower center of the picture where the light green area is you can almost make out the road. That is the same road we wound down onto and then drove toward Hood and went around the south side. It was a beautiful drive.

WOW the natural lighting of that Mr Hood pic is amazing!

it almost looks like a really good oil painting LOL

the colours are so smooth/ crisp.

hey Karen, did you use a filter for the Sunset B each pic or was that warm glow from the setting sun? Gorgeous pics.

you make me want to go to Stanley Park! I love that place in the spring when all the cherry/ plum? trees are in bloom.

No filter, Sunshyne... just another beautiful sunset at the aptly named Sunset Beach. It's all about timing... :-)

Here is a photo of a sunset over my families old island in the Georgian Bay in Northern Ontario, Canada. When my Dad got ill with Cancer we sold the place. I miss it terribly. Please click on the link below to see it since it was too big to post here....My family owned the island in the bottom of the photo not the island in the middle of the Bay.

Oh, Chaplin, that's beautiful! How calm and serene! I'm sorry you had to sell. Do you want me to resize the photo for you and post it here?

Jewels, I LOVE the Mt. Hood photo! So green in the valley, so snowy and clean up top. Gorgeous.

I am at the point where I am bringing the digital camera with me all the time in the car.

It is funny because I went thru a period of real unhappiness with my film cameras. Two of the four starting being really unreliable. One goofed up and left me with a blank film during a death in the family back a few years ago. I was crushed as that film was full of the final pics when the person was alive. I turned into a blubbering mess right in the middle of the store when I found out it was blank.

only now do I find that I actually look forward to taking a pic...since i can SEE if it is there!

Those poor birdies look cold. They hunch all up in the wind.

i had to squish this pic down...but I had some four legged visitors on the patio today.

Excuse the yard, It looks way better after Spring has Sprung fully. You cant tell by the pic but they are really tame. I was only around ten feet from them and they'll walk around me when i do yardwork LOL They get really wild once Hunting Season starts though.



Due to the effects of Global Warming this ski hill hasnt been open for years. But it sure takes a nice pic on a apricot sunset night.

That pic of oregan looks like it could have been taken here!

I love a grey stormy day, must be a West coaster at heart LOL

I was just thinking how scenery pics have a serenity about them. especially when the only people in them seem so small and almost insignificant. Like the way the man in Karen's uprooted tree pic is.

I am hoping to take some Eagle and Hawk shots next trip down island. they always are in the trees.

Last time I came up with my sister a black BEAR was walking right beside the highway. I was travelling too fast to take the shot though. Been driving this road since 96 and only seen three bears ever.

Me too, Sunshyne! One of my favourites is putting on and old pair of gumboots and going puddle jumping. I get the weirdest looks, but who cares? I'm having fun.

Love these new photos! Chewpito, that glacier is so gorgeous. And the birds at the ocean are pretty, too.

I found another photo taken the same night as that orange sailboat upthread. Gives a different perspective on how the sky looked. (I love taking pictures of the sky, especially clouds.) The one I posted earlier was using the 10x zoom to get in on the boat. If you look closely in this one, you can see the sailboat off on the horizon.



And this one I just thought was neat. Might not see all the detail, cause I had to resize it, but you can actually see every crystal of every flake.



Eeyore, the camera's nothing special. Kodak Z740, 5mp, 10x optical, 5x digital zoom. Donners picked it up for me for V-day last year, something like $300 at LD.

Oh, and Sunshyne, your comment about the people in the nature scenes being small and insignificant. No kidding! I should mention that Don, in that photo, is 6'2".

Wow ... Karen, that is a wonderful picture!! I've never seen snow like that. I love to take pictures as well. It's usually my son or dog. I'll see if I can find my Tahoe pictures, they're pretty!!

hoarfrost! or was it crunchy snow?

Now i know where Sunset Beach is! I think we called it third beach(or is that next door LOL)

I lived in west van when I was on the mainland so would usually stay at Ambleside. Nice seawalk there.

I'm not sure but i think that island on the very far left of your Pic is Gabriola island, which is where i was raised. On a clear day we could see Spanish Banks from the island even though it is hours away by boat.

I'm enjoying all your gorgeous pictures. I've decided to share two of my favorite taken during the summer of 2006.
