Friends’ Photos
Steel span against orange sky
Except for days when the entire area is socked in with fog, there are no “off” days at Deception Pass. This stunning sunset photo was taken by friend Wayne Martin (not sure when). Once again, Wayne, thanks for sharing!

Americana on ice
Stuck in a snowbank during the recent snow was this classic American tricycle, spotted and photographed by Wayne Martin. It’s no Big Wheel, but these trikes dominated in the category of longevity.
Crystallized garden display
Wayne Martin tackled the snow in south Mount Vernon to capture this beautiful image at Skagit Gardens.
Winter blue
Monday’s snow prompted photographer friend Wayne Martin to dig through his 2008 snow files, where he discovered this beauty. I love the blue in this shot!
Phototography tip
From my photographer friend Wayne Martin: “A photo tip. Don’t shoot at eye level all the time. I took this with my camera lowered right to the beach, close to the water. That put the wave and the tug almost at the same level. This was taken by the lighthouse in Port Townsend, looking north.” […]
The fisherman
I don’t have any details about this photo from my friend Wayne Martin, but I know I like it. He simply titled it: “The Fisherman.”
Lighting up the curves
I love this “special effects” image by photographer friend Wayne Martin, who dropped the color out of everything except the center lines in this photo of Chuckanut curves. Thanks, Wayne!
Del’s Christmas cactus
I rarely associate the word “cactus” with Christmas, but each year I am reminded that the two go together as blossoms burst forth, delivering some of the first gifts of the season. This beautiful image was created by photographer friend Del. To see more of his work, visit www.DelZanePhotography.com.
Full moon draws admirers
The moon, which has drawn man’s attention since the beginning of time, cast its spell this week on countless photographers in the region. Among those who captured images of the full moon in all its glory was my friend Del Zane, who shot this photo. A stunning photo, no telescope involved.
A day trip that always delivers
This gorgeous fall shot was taken by Wayne Martin, who routinely shoots beautiful photographs and shares them with friends via email. He took this photograph at a stream near Highway 20. It’s been awhile since I’ve taken the “upriver” drive to view fall colors. One should never be “too busy” for that kind of day […]
Small sails, big race
Without the folks in the background, this photo looks like it might be “the real deal” shot through a telephoto lens. In fact, it is a group of remote control sailboat racers gathered in mid-October at Cranberry Lake, Deception Pass State Park. A sweet shot by my talented buddy Wayne Martin.
