Finn tales l If only...

He's been doing this since he was a baby.  He's a feral rescue and I've worked diligently with him and the only remaining "feral" aspect is fear (which will not change.) He's smart, spoiled and lives within the boundaries I've worked so hard to teach him.  If only I could only teach him how to turn his faucet (it's all his) on and off...  I would be THRILLED! 😻

One word... EPIC

Last night's Aurora Borealis made it's way well into Washington state and it was epic!  The lights were dancing and pulsing with pillars reaching so high I felt I was in nature's cathedral.  It was breathtaking to witness with the naked eye. 

Aurora Borealis | August 21, 2017

Not exactly what I was hoping to get last night given the numbers and contending with the light pollution from a neighboring town, but I'll take it. It's close to home and it was a long day yesterday starting with the eclipse. If you blinked last night from my location, you missed it.  There's nothing like sitting underneath a blanket of stars on a warm summer evening.  It's my little slice of heaven when I'm not photographing portraits.

Solar Eclipse | August 21, 2017

I took a different approach and photographed the ground and my surroundings during the solar eclipse.  Enjoying all the crescents.

Unique Sunset | BC Wildfires

Smoke that has moved down into our area as a result of BC wildfires gives us unique sunsets, but it comes at a cost to the people and wildlife up North. Keeping our neighbors in British Columbia and surrounding areas in my thoughts.
