Sunflowers always brighten my mood. I think I need to go pick some up from Trader Joe’s soon.

cascade trail – 11 nov 2016
After a brisk and informative walk with Ranger Robby, I drove over to the Cascade Trail to try out the “Roll Project” in black and white. I love the shallow depth of field on many of these, but I think I may have overdone it.
