This colorful little shrub is actually part of the barberry family, not a bamboo at all despite the common name. The leaves sprout a pink to red color before turning green, then turn red/purple before dropping.
Very pretty plant!

“Forever In Our Hearts — James M. “Jimi” Hendrix — 1942-1970”
This Hendrix family memorial gravesite is located at Greenwood Memorial Park in Renton, Washington. Although it’s only 10 miles from where I live, today is the first time I’ve ever visited it.
There were several people visiting, but there was a ten minute lull and I was able to grab several photos. Folks had left several ‘gifts’, ranging from flowers to Zig Zag rolling papers to chalk for leaving a message.
I did this in HDR and some fairly heavy tone mapping. It gave me the look I was after… almost postcardish. Today was a pretty drab day and the original looked pretty much like… well… a drab snapshot.

Another try at multiplicity… how fun!
My granddaughter, Maddie, advanced the runners with this line drive down the first base line…
I shot this series from the outfield at 250mm.
So I was walking along the Soos Creek Trail and ran into this motley looking bunch. They wanted a photo, so what could I do… I obliged!
I’ve been wanting to try this for some time now. Several photogs at DPS have done it and it always intrigued me. So here’s my entry.
I do need to give kudos to Indigo – www.flickr.com/photos/artofindigo/ – for her recent multiplicity photos… and the inspiration!

I got out of the truck at the Safeway store, looked West and saw this awesome sky.

Lincoln Park is a huge park bordering the Puget Sound in West Seattle. With miles of trails and gorgeous views, it’s a great place to get away…
