Horse Manure and Art?

Yes, horse manure and art, but the two did not merge, of course!  It has been awhile since I posted to this photo blog, but my new schedule includes posting here each Friday. I am in Packwood, Washington with my boyfriend, Kevin, this week and we took a short trip to pick up some horse manure for amending his front yard. He wants a veggie garden there next year. Along the way, he took me to artist, Dan Klennert’s “Recycled Spirits of Iron Sculpture” park and home. This is also the way to NW Trek and Mount Rainier, but they were not on our itinerary that day. See Klennert’s photos, a map and information about a movie that his art is featured in at http://www.danielklennert.com/

I took these photos on 7 May 2014 using my Samsung 3 phone and Kevin’s Olympus Sp-600UZ. Click on photo to enlarge.

First Frost at Wynoochee Dam, River and Lake

Photos taken 4 December 2013, posted 6 Dec 2013 Although some of it may look like snow, every bit of the white stuff is from 2 mornings of heavy frost. It is snowing tonight at my home in Westport, Washington (right above sea level), so I’m sure there will be some snow for me to snap photos of soon. Here is link to my writer site where I posted about this trip http://wp.me/p3i5jo-i3Wynochee 022 I’m going to try this in a slide show, please let me know if this works for you or if you would rather I post them one at a time. Thanks for your feedback!  I admit this is 89 photos and takes almost 10 minutes if you let it rum by itself. Remember the first photo so you know when it is over.
