There are a few redeeming features about this town. Every now and then I stumble across one of them. — Ritzville, WA.

Rusty Alley

Michelle Plumb — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 01:58:42 +0000

I’ve had my eye on this alley ever since I moved here. The problem has been that I haven’t had anything to photograph it with (it doesn’t work well on it’s own, I’ve tried it…other people have tried it…).

That all changes today. — Ritzville, WA

Harvest Go Round

Michelle Plumb — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 05:21:08 +0000

Caught a crew of combines making their way around this irrigated circle of wheat. You can’t see it that well, but when a rig pulls over by the side of the road to watch you, apparently this farmer went “Who dat?” Chaff was floating through the air. Along with dust.

That’s the smell of summer, right there.

Perseid Meteor

Came away having seen plenty of really bright ones, but not thinking I caught anything. Sometimes I love being wrong.

(Astrophotography is NOT my strong suit…)

Michelle & Mark! Not sure they covered cake cutting in boot camp, but these two figured it out.

Congratulations!

Spokane Highland Games

Michelle Plumb — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 00:55:49 +0000

Have been meaning to do one of these audio/visual posts for a looong time and the Spokane Scottish Society’s Highland Games are the perfect subject. Had to catch my breath a couple of times during the procession, it’s just so overwhelming. In an entirely fantastic way, of course.

Held every year, first Saturday in August at the Spokane County Fair & Expo Center — Spokane, WA.

[NOTE: There is an audio clip available for this post.]

Never Ending Storm

Michelle Plumb — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 21:42:19 +0000

After having gone to bed at midnight, I was woken up at 2 AM to the sound of my phone chirping (it does this when you plug it in) signaling that the power had apparently gone out and come back on. And then I saw the flashes of lightning. And then more. And more. And more. Fifteen strikes in one minute is what I counted, and that is probably a low estimate of what this first wave produced.

This is a measly two second exposure from my front porch, because I was tired and didn’t want to hassle with shoving the dog into the car at this time of morning.

The storm came through again at 4, 7, 9, and 10 and 11 AM. The 9 AM swath left us without power for three hours. Perhaps now that my fans are all circulating this wet air again, I can finally get some sleep. — Ritzville, WA.
