Beaver Pond reflections, originally uploaded by stevevoght.

Last weekend, we went on a loop of the North Cascades to see some foliage and wildlife, and to escape a seemingly-growing pile of black fur (also apparently it was a birthday or something like that.) We were successful on all accounts, and here's the evidence. My new copy of Adobe Lightroom 2 has some fun features and development presets that let me really bring out the *POP* in these photos. See the whole set here.

Every January hundreds of bald eagles travel to the middle reaches of the Skagit River en route to nesting grounds, stopping for several weeks to enjoy delicious salmon, get photographed by thousands of tourists and be feted by locals. Heather and I trekked up there yesterday (and then onward to Deception Pass) to enjoy some unseasonably beautiful weather... once the fog finally burned off around mid-day.

Enjoy the new GALLERY.  (updated 2/27 to point to new gallery location at Flickr)
