Shadows

Warmth

Well the first snow of the year has hit the Cascade Mountain lowlands and Bellingham's high elevations.  It didn't last long, but it is only a sign of things yet to come.  This neatly stacked wood pile is ready to keep a family warm all winter long.

Weathered Stone, Weathered Wood

On the beach at South Whidbey Island, someone had decorated a huge old driftwood stump with various shells and stones. I liked the way this stone was placed, its marbled swirls and whorls echoed in the aged lines of wood behind it.
