Sunrise in the Lake Tapps area!

So my husband woke me from a dead sleep and said "Honey I know you don't like taking pictures of the sky, but you've gotta come see the sunrise and the clouds!" (don't get me wrong, I do like taking pictures of the sky if they are cool, but sometimes they all start looking the same) So I appease him, and my groggy self gets out of bed and grabs the camera and stumbles outside. I was shocked...WOW, this really was beautiful. I don't even think the pictures grab the true beauty, but here is a couple! I really love the view from my front door.

Double Rainbow ~ Lake Tapps Nature Photographer

I was just sitting there yesterday working at my computer, it had been really dark and dreary, then all of a sudden out of the corner of my eye I saw brightness. The clouds broke and the Sun was shining so bright down on the field. I thought to myself...'I wonder if there's a rainbow out there' I jumped up, opened the front door and couldn't change the lens on my camera fast enough! (I had my zoom lens attached) This is what I saw...a beautiful Double Rainbow! Well, it was pouring so I stayed on my front porch and didn't venture to get back and get a view of the entire rainbow...but I wish I would have.

Editors Pick ~ Northwest Landscape Photographer

So today I am pretty excited! I try to be enrolled in a class at all times. This pushes me to get out there and get creative. My last course was developing your creative artistic vision...and it was awesome. Well, with Better Photo (who I've taken courses through) there is a monthly photo contest. What the heck I thought... So I submitted a photo. There is something about this photo that I love, hopefully someone else will too. That was two days ago. Today, I went online and for some reason clicked on that photo, and underneath it was a 'editors pick'. This is so exciting. When you enter a photo, first thing the judges go through and eliminate photos that don't work for them. Then they can go through and pick pictures that they find visually appealing. This means my entry moved from round 1 of the judging. Yeah! That was something to smile about for me. :)
