~Apocalyptic Sunset~

This is the West end of Tubbs Hill on Lake Coeur D Alene. I finally got lucky as I've missed some dramatic sunsets a couple of weeks ago. This is a 180 second exposure that allows the water to smooth out and smear the clouds across the sky. It's the expression of time taken in a single image.

Arrowleaf Balsamroot flowers gather around a fallen log on Tubbs Hill. The Balsamroot flower has a brief time to adorn the hillside, it a week or two they disappear until next Spring.

~Gnarly Matriarch~

~Tortured~

If you were to look at a cross section of this tree, you would see the tree trunk is made up of a series of concentric rings. Since a living tree adds one growth ring each year, you can determine the age of the tree by counting the number of growth rings. A core sample taken from this triple twist tree, showed it to be at least 1,350 years old. " A sign a few feet from the tree read." This tree died around 1950. The sign had a image that showed a few precarious green leaves hanging on for life.

~Cold Snap~

Soon all Arrowleaf Balsmroot will be felled by time to end their life cycle on Tubbs Hill until next Spring.

Taken on a windy evening on the East end of Tubbs Hill. This is a 63 second exposure that allows the water to smooth out and smear the clouds across the sky. It's the expression of time taken in a single image.

~Sunrise Sonata~

While lying in bed this morning, my Wife said the lake might look good for a Sunrise photo. I decided I could go back to sleep, but my wife's cold foot urged me on. The good thing about this spot is it's only three blocks from my house & I could have lied about that, but my wife told me not to. This was taken from the East end of Tubbs Hill looking across Lake Coeur D Alene.
