Mount Rainier on 35mm anyone?

#film #filmphotography #photography #landscapephotography #kodak
White wildflower blooms are everywhere in a green meadow on an alpine hillside, with Mount Rainier towering in the background. White wildflowers are blurry in the foreground, with an alpine meadow and a stone shack in the mid ground, with Mount Rainier towering in the back ground. A carpet of magenta wildflowers cover a sloping green alpine meadow. Mount Rainier towers behind rolling hills of evergreen forests.

Around 10,000 federal workers in Oregon could miss their first full paycheck on Friday due to the ongoing government shutdown.
Thousands of federal workers in Oregon brace for first missed paycheck
The economic impact could be felt most powerfully in the state’s rural counties, where a higher share of the workforce is employed by a federal agency.

I took this with my Kodak VR35 point and shoot that I bought from Goodwill for $8 and used a roll of ColorPlus 200. To me, it shows that with a little effort you can get a great shot with any camera. What do you think?

St. John’s Bridge in Oregon. The bridge is a large suspension bridge painted a light forest green that was intended to blend in with the surrounding hills. It is an overcast day in midwinter, with bare trees in the foreground mixed with evergreen pines.

In the alpine meadows, there is a very small window of time where there is fresh vegetation. Pikas and Marmots, like this guy, rush it pick long grasses to dry them in the sun and stock pile them for the long mountain winters.

A marmot on Mt. Rainier has a large bunch of grass in his mouth. He is standing on his haunches looking away from the camera. You see the mountain landscape in the background.

Studio Ghibli anyone? Would you believe this is actually an alpine meadow on Mt. Rainier’s hillside?

White, purple and blue flowers blue in a green meadow. There is an old stone shack in the mid ground, and Mt. Rainier rises over the hills in the back ground.

A brown with light orange furred chipmunk nibbles on a dropped almond from another hiker. It is perched on a rock, with blurry snow in the back ground.

Our lovely cat, adopted from a rescue a year ago, is being operated on this morning to remove an old airgun pellet from his skull. We had no idea it was there until it caused an infection last week. Very grateful for any fingers you could cross for him.

I finally got my film developed from my trip to New Mexico. On my drive back, I saw some wild horses in a storm. This is probably one of my favorite shots from the trip.

Three wild horses in the American Southwest desert. The picture was taken during an on-coming storm and the sky is pure white from the clouds.

Hey all! Recently went hiking and discovered this amazing waterfall on the way to the Oregon Coast. 10/10 would recommend.

Folks are sending us signs from protests across the country that say we’ve had ENOUGH of the Trump circus. #handsoff

A protest sign parodying Dumb and Dumber the film, where Trump is in a blue suit like Jeff Daniels and Elon Musk is in orange like Jim Carrey A protest sign says "Elect a clown, expect a circus" while a person in a blow up clown suit walks next to them A protest sign reads "Creepy Clowns Are Real" and Trump is illustrated as a clown A cartoonish baloon of Trump flies above a crowd in a field in Atlanta
