In a Land of Trees and Water



Let me introduce to you Mr. Lichen (pronounced: likin' ):



So, my plan is to let out all the photos I edited this week, once a week in accordance to topic/subject matter.
I hope you like my plan. :D
These photos were almost all taken in 2011, and in September. This being said, do not be surprised when you see a pair of bright yellow leaves hanging as if they are dying or Winter or something. Yep.
This post is also primarily photos taken in forests. Forests are wonderful, beautiful, and rather captivating places to be (at least for me). The in forest experience is probably second only to that of being way up in the mountains ... oh, mountains! ... yeah, I kinda miss on-mountain hiking.



I mentioned water in the title, this is why:

Tides out at the Browns Point lighthouse:

Remember: September. That should explain every bit of green, orange and yellow:





You know the feeling you often get in forests? It's a kind of magical, wondrous feeling. You know that dis-satisfaction with a great photo, and that line people so often say about their photo ("This picture doesn't make up for actually being there.")?
The next photo looks like something you would rarely or never see in an actual forest, but it produces those in-forest wondrous feelings and imaginations of  warm, wondrous forests. <-that is how I justify making something unreal.

Don't try too hard to out reach your peers...

WATER!! :D


Hydrangeas, beautiful flowers:

That is all for now, come back next week for photos from Whidbey Island on Boxing Day! :D

Off-camera Flash: Amps, Guitars, Fields, and Walls

My brothers amp. Well, some tubes on the back of the amp.

He was replacing the speaker in the amp, and here he is soldering the speaker to the speaker to the rest of the amp.

The soldering iron's home.

Those same tubes this post started with. They glow when in use. =)


My brother testing his amp out. Also, the lighting is from the experimental use a remote flash set on the couch.


These next several photos are in Lakota middle school's sports field, are rather fun night.










The rest are from my youth groups winter retreat. I will have another post with pictures from the rest of the retreat later, but here are some photos from one night at the retreat.



The wall is magnetic. :P




Yay! That is all for now. I am on Spring break, so I am expecting to do around two more blog posts before April 2. Thanks for viewing! :D
