Back From Vacation

had a great couple of weeks on Pend Oreille. Got some skiing in and took a few pictures. There are a bunch uploaded already at SmugMug and some still to get out of the camera. Here is one for starters.

Wooden Boats

Summer is here and I haven't been posting anything. Here are a couple from the wooden boat show in Sandpoint, Idaho a couple of weeks ago. Hope to be able to shoot and post some additional photos during my upcoming vacation.

2051.7

Ran up to the cabin this morning to check on things, 2071.7 is the current lake elevation. Saw a low temperature of -17 on the drive up. It was a beautiful clear day. Things were good other than the top of one tree being broken off. Anyways here are a few pictures from up there and a series of a deer from the folks house after we got back to town.

About the Name and Welcome

2062.5 is the summer pool level of Lake Pend Oreille (pond oray) in north Idaho. It's one of my favorite places to spend time relaxing and recharging the batteries.

I just picked up a D60 with the 18-55 VR kit lens and a 55-200 non-VR lens. Also a Lowepro Slingshot 200AW camera bag.

I used to shoot a lot of photos with a Pentax K1000 but got out of it about 15 years ago as I didn't have access to a darkroom any longer and developing film was getting expensive. I'm really looking forward to getting back into taking photos; macro, landscape, nature, action, travel and family shots will probably all find their way onto this page.

Since it has been snowing LOTS since the camera arrived the only photos so far are indoors. Here is one.
