A lone Lily on the lake
A single white lily flower similar to a lotus floats serenely on the surface of a lake surrounded by numerous lily pads in dark blue and black shadowy patterns spurned by the sunlight.

Patience is the path to wisdom. IPhone.
A tin pastel light green basket with yellow and pink flowers under a beam of sunlight breaking through the glass slider creating artsy shadow and contrast. My yellow Labrador sits still in the background near the flower pot.

#sunset at DesMoines Marina. IPhone
A golden sunset on the far horizon, a mostly overcast sky but with small breaks creating blue and lavender hues. The light floats on the ripples of Puget Sound as the tide comes in, and a long Pier walk stretches out to the fishermen’s delight.

Nice light appeared for a bit
Small pink flower blooms with burgundy leaves on a mossy green filled tree trunk, and the sunlight emphasizing texture and contrast.

I’ve never seen a brown #racoon before. 🤔

Wynoochee Falls, Wa.
Wynoochee Falls, Wa. captured in Long Exposure. There are fallen logs at the top, large rock face on the left and right of the falls and the water cascades down in different areas with a portion of the rock cliff acting like a separator right in the center. Evergreens fill the background and the rock face has unique colors and patterns of moss, ferns, and various other vegetation accentuating the area’s natural art. The falls lands in a multi-colored pool of deep blues and greens.

Part 2. #mushrooms 🍄‍🟫🍄‍🟫
Two large mushrooms with a sunbeam shining across the tops and shadow of the tree it’s under splashed against the fence in the background. Burgundy colored leaves pepper the ground. This is the first time in 7 years since living here I’ve seen large mushrooms in my yard.

Just a #sunset no big deal
The sun sets on the horizon on a river in Hoquiam Wa. with some incredible unique wispy clouds above. Orange, blue and grey intersect seamlessly in the sky all while shimmering its colors back down on the surface of the water.

Open picture to see the whole panoramic capture of these 12 Cormorants by my count that I forgot I had in my album. 🪶Need more of these #birds, they’re awesome.
Panoramic capture of 12 Cormorants in a row at the shoreline, the center one with wings out and the sun is creating diamond reflections on the water in the background.

I don’t remember my life as a whole, I remember moments good and bad. I live in the now always trying to make the next now a little better than the last. Mima Falls. #waterfall #longexposure
A small waterfall in the forest with light breaking through in spots highlighting sections of mossy rocks, captured in long exposure making the water look like a beautiful salt pour.

A Tree Swallow with a grip like a Nuthatch 🪶
A Tree Swallow is gripping itself to the side of a barn. It’s sunny and there’s a casted shadow that’s a nice contrast against the white rustic look of the wood siding.

Drama edit Tacoma. #Cityscape #longexposure
Tacoma skyline long exposure at dusk, it’s a cloudy evening. The Bay and some shipping yards is in the background to the right with freeways of light streaks highlighting the cityscape in a plethora of color, semi-tall skyscrapers pepper the hillside. The famous car museum is in the lower right corner with the amazing suspension bridge behind it. The juxtaposition of brightness and gray gives an artistic contrast vibe from every corner of frame.

A pic I took of a real tree in Nisqually refuge with added whimsy, looks like a nice life for tiny people😁
A beautiful textured tree trunk with moss and a lot of character. I added some photoshop whimsy with a miniature gnome mushroom house and other treehouse like structures atop the shelf mushrooms protruding out, and I added two tiny humans enjoying the miniatures like they’re on vacation. The guy is on a beach chair on a shelf shroom and the lady is in a hammock swinging under another. A beam of sunlight shoots across the trunk creating a wonderful contrast between shadow and light.

This is how I came up with ‘Sugar Rush Times’ here’s the logo pic (find the JD😁)it’s still the name of my YT, it was going to be the name of the interview metal band vid series too. Like the song says we don’t always get what we want but if you try sometimes you might just find you get what you need

Fyi I’ve got another idea bubbling for my next screenplay short. Here’s more cloud formations in #blackandwhite from my pov this is across the road from my house, dang Washington amazing as usual, best state for this.
Unusual but beautiful cloud formation over my neighborhood. Edited in black and white and there’s four spiral clouds in near flawless symmetry flowing downward next to each other in tornado shapes.
