Back to it...Wild Bee recording in Mt Rainer

Well the show must go on so the Bees must be recorded. 

In Seattle the Bees seem downright shy over photography and sound recordings. 

Out on the Mountain I didn't even seem to be noticed. 

Maybe it's just that Mountain Bee vibe - less worry then your urban friends. 

Night and Day

As the weather turns I have a stockpile of images to deal with images of sunnier times and forested spaces, and some decaying stuff in there too.

This week...

Back from Mt Rainer, a yearly trip (at least one) that feels like some sort of homecoming, some sort of pilgrimage. After spending a week in the Mt a friday rush hour was hard to muster, feeling like a chipmunk I wanted to claw my way back to the forest and the Mt.

Who took the SoundPods?

I am very saddened to say SoundPod D2000 has been taken from Carkeeks Heaven and Earth Prematurely.

 

Scablands Inspirations

Over there we went to  Ephrata, Washington. 

Eastern Washington. 

Where the Scablands rule. 

We swam in soap lake, I say swam it was walking and crouching to cover one's self in it's healing mineral waters.

Lots of Eastern Europeans about, too basking in the waters.

Watched the sun set over Steamboat Rock , having to drive back to Ephrata in the darkest of darkness, for city folk. 

Inspiration and souls nurtured in the heat and rock.

Below are a few images of the sunset at steamboat rock.
