First photos from my deck!

Last night was so beautiful! Amazing clouds, moon, stars, warmth and even a couple shooting stars! I was up late until 4AM editing photos in the office but I set up my camera on the deck to take a few star shots with Mt. Underwood. A couple pics-



I went to bed at 4AM and was awaken at 6AM with this bright pink glow coming though the blinds, and I had to get up and check it out! Strolled out to the deck, took a few photos in my boxers while mostly asleep, then stumbled back into bed and slept till 9:30AM. :)

Been busy, forgot I had a blog!

It's been a while since my last update! I basically forgot I had a blog! Oops.
The big news in our life is that we bought our first house! If you are my facebook friend you probably know this already but thought I'd share it with my blog followers too, if any are left! :)
Here are a few pics I'll post here, but check out the full tour at the gallery here (you don't need facebook to view it)-

Broughton Fire - White Salmon, Washington

These are some photos I shot yesterday evening of a fire that has been named "Broughton Fire" in White Salmon, Washington, just below Underwood Mountain.

I noticed the smoke around noon and knew it was a fire, but didn't realize it was a big one until I saw that there was 5 helicopters buzzing around dropping water all over it. I drove down to Ruthton Park in Hood River to take some photos. There were a lot of people down there because it was a great view to see all that was happening.

They suspect it was started by a spark from a passing train! I don't think anyone was injured or killed, but it did burn down 5 houses. Hope those people had insurance... because those are expensive houses up there!
KATU newschannel has an article up about it here and there is a video here.

The sun setting to the west was beautiful!
