Dickerson Creek Waterfall This week in SSC: "Dramatic Picture" (From Mirriam Webster: striking in appearance or effect.) I had a little drama to go along with my "Dramatic" photo. :) It was a gorgeous sunny day Tuesday. We decided to hike to nearby "Dickerson Creek Waterfall." I checked to make sure I had everything I needed: camera, extra lens, SD card, ND filter, fully charged battery, and my tripod. When I got up to the falls I realized that I forgot one very important thing... my tripod adapter! :-O So my plan of long exposure photos wasn't going to happen. Luckily there was a railing I was able to lean on for this shot. ...and for Sight and Sound: The Eagles from their album "Desperado" (1973) Bitter Creek

This week in SSC: "Shoes" I can now add "Shoe Model" to my resume. ;-) These are my comfy black dress shoes that I've had for many years. I never thought I would have so many pics for this challenge. :)) I started out with the main shot of the shoes and then I just had too much fun with different editing programs so there are more pics below. I hope you enjoy my shoes! :D ...and for Sight and Sound: Tears for Fears from "Songs from the Big Chair" (1985) Head over Heels Head over Heels

This week in SSC: "Metal" For this challenge, I thought I'd focus on this ornate metal tin I've had for years that holds all my TV and stereo cords. ...and for Sight and Sound: America from their album "Holiday" (1974) Tin Man Tin Man

This week in SSC: "Panoramic Photography" (Hood Canal, Wa.) This is a favorite spot down the hill from where I live. Thankfully, we got a break in the rain the other day so I could sneak down there and get a couple of shots. I used the "Panorama" setting on my camera. (Another clickable image below.) This place reminds me of a postcard so I thought I'd use this song for "Sight and Sound." Chicago from their "Chicago VII" album (1974) Wishing You Were Here Wishing You Were Here

This pretty male Western Tanager is awaiting his turn at the feeder. He is probably one of the most colorful songbirds in this area and is a rare treat to see. For Sight and Sound: Paul McCartney and Wings from the album "Venus and Mars" (1975) Love in Song Love in Song

It rains a lot here in Washington state and people like to complain sometimes but that's why we have such a "lush life" here too. Lush and green... looks best full screen. :) ...and for Sight and Sound: Linda Ronstadt from her album "Lush Life" (1984) Lush Life Lush Life
