This is the Milkyway over Mount Shuksan on Picture lake. We had started at the top of Baker, but quickly realized that the Milkyway would be almost directly over the mountain. We grabed our gear and headed to the lake. There were a few clouds surounding the mountain. We decided to wait it out, and eventually the clouds began to clear. As I stood there looking around, all I could see was the darkness of the night. It was so quite, the only thing you heard was silence. It almost gave me an erry feeling being out there. But it was also so peaceful. Sometimes we get caught up in trying to get the shot, we foreget to enjoy the moment. So, next time you are out shooting at night.. take a moment and listen to the night.

we wear them like the Renaissance -
adornments of the past, jewels
to cover eyes that no longer see truth,
I have been misguided, misjudged, mishandled,
my words have been lacquered like doll's eyes
- painted into memory -

and I disguise myself with them,
puffed sleeved dresses, square necked,
scarlet trimmed, broach garnished garishness,
all a facade to become someone different
so that I might paint myself into the fancy eyes
of someone who can truly understand I am more
- than stone -

“Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.”

As I sat watching the storm cloud roll over the hills towards me. Suddenly the sun broke through the clouds at sunset and lit up the Aspens.
