The fall colors here in Seattle seem particularly brilliant this year. After a weekend of heavy rain and wind, thick carpets of leaves now cover certain sidewalks.

Talapus Lake Trail
Caught this image on a hike last Saturday, looking down from a snow-covered wooden bridge into the still waters of the creek below. I was hiking up the Talapus Lake Trail on a beautiful, cool, sunny day, and snapped a few other photos.

Okinawa Beach Vacation
I’ve finally posted photos from my trip to Okinawa last June. I spent five days on the main island, enjoying a tropical vacation with Yuriko, Tarn (in the photo above) and Kevin at the end of my stay in Japan. Sorry for the delay in posting these, guys. It was such a fun trip, and looking through these photos again makes me miss that time and all of you.
Clouds Catching Fire
It threatened to rain all day today, but never did. During my walk home at dusk, a section of clouds parted for about two minutes, catching the setting sun and bursting into color.
My digicam can’t capture this kind of image on its own, but Photoshop allowed me to tweak the photo to match what I saw.
Seattle Skyline
So far, the fall weather in Seattle has been great. That is to say, it hasn’t been the typical gray, gloomy, dreary weather we generally have this time of year. Rather than the claustrophobic descent of a damp, gray ceiling of clouds, the weather has been interesting — stormy, windy, warm, hard rains and periods of sun breaks with beautiful cloud formations that tumble across the sky or which provide a canvas for evening light, as in the photo above.
Winthrop Camping Trip
I’ve finally gotten around to posting some photos from a camping trip I took with friends several weeks ago.
Keitai Shots
Now that I no longer have a camera phone, it’s time to start getting nostalgic about the one I always complained about in Japan.
My trusty little Sanyo took terrible pictures. Nonetheless, it did provide a collection of lo-rez memories of my year in Japan.
New People
I’ve updated the People in Japan photo album — added new photos and changed the album design. Sooner or later, I’ll get around to updating the other albums.
Updated People Pics
I’ve finally updated one of my photo albums that was supposed to have been updated regularly. There are now new people.
