Reflections | April 2015 Roundup

These are some of the random photos from this past month.  The first one is from a Redmond on a night when the sunset was so pretty.


This dandelion was in a field in North Bend next door to a softball game I was shooting that night.  Same night that I photographed the Elk (below.)


Bull Elk, sows and calves from the North Bend herd.


Some Forget-me-Knots from just outside my front door.  I planted these from seed and they are in bloom and beautiful right now.


One of the many cottontail's stretched out in the yard enjoying the sun.


This is Finn who turns away everything time the lens is pointed at him, but  I caught him just as he was waking up from a nap.  Seeing him on the third tier of his cat tower had been a year in the making and now he's so proud he sometimes sleeps there all night.


Taken in the Snoqualmie Valley looking over at Carnation.


This is my dad who passed away 20-years ago today.  It's an image I took back on September 15th, 1993, just two years before he passed away.  It is my all time favorite picture of him.  A family tradition that started back when we were kids was to go to the Puyallup Fair every September.  In this image he just finished treating us all to barbecue ribs (his favorite at the fair) and the look on his face says it all.  He is missed, but never forgotten.

Dedication of the Five Stand Field in memory of David J. Funes

Sunday, August 16, 2009 was the dedication of the Five Stand Field in memory of my father, David J. Funes. The weather was beautiful, the food was delicious and seeing his old friends and listening to their stories was wonderful.

It was equally heartwarming to hear some of new shooters say that they wished they had the opportunity to meet him as a result of all those who did know him. It’s a real testament not only to the kind of friend my father was to others, but the quality of his friends; that all these years later they still uphold his memory in the shooting world.

On behalf of my family, we thank all of those who were able to make it to the dedication and for those who were not able to make it out on Sunday, just click on the slideshow below for the highlights.

If you would like to purchase a DVD, or a download of the slideshow for your iPod; all proceeds will be donated in memory of David J. Funes to assist the ongoing improvements of the five stand field. Just select the little DVD icon in the bottom right corner of the slideshow.

There is no obligation to purchase. You are welcome to bookmark this page and come back to watch the slideshow anytime you wish.

With gratitude,
