Autumn Leaves

Constellation Prize

I was lucky enough to be able to watch the Perseid Meteor Shower this year, which was a particularly good year for it. I tried my hand at some astrophotography for the first time. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to capture a meteor, but I did this consolation prize (or rather constellation prize, thanks Moh!), instead. It’s not perfect, but I’m proud of this first real attempt. The orange glow behind the tree is actually the Moon setting at about 1:15am.

Everett Habitat Restoration Project

Saw a barge dumping lots of what appears to be sand/gravel along the shore in Everett, turns out it’s a habitat restoration project!

Grove of the Patriarchs

Devin and I explored the Grove of the Patriarchs near Mount Rainier as a last hurrah before the end of summer. I strapped a GoPro to my shoulder to record the whole experience. Afterward I threw the footage into the Microsoft Hyperlapse Pro preview as a test. I quite liked the end result (especially with some music over the top) so here it is for you to enjoy.

Some photos from the trip:

An absolutely massive tree, and our favorite in the grove.

The very bouncy bridge leading into the Grove of the Patriarchs. Crossing it felt like entering another world.

A second view showing more of the bridge.

One of the many huge fallen trees in the area.

Everett Sunset

Nugget Falls and Mendenhall Glacier

Frozen Waterfall

Valentine’s Sunset

This is one of my favorite things about living on the Puget Sound. We really do have some of the best sunsets in the world.

Also I’ve been playing around with a new logo that a friend of mine made for me. I’m generally not a fan of watermarks, but this is simple, unobtrusive, and I love the design.
