I got my first “real” camera last weekend, a Pentax K-x with a regular and a 300mm telephoto lens, on Craigslist. Here are some of my first shots with it, which I’ve put up on my Picasa site:
The living/dining room, with Mt. Gardner in the background
Mt Brunswick, from the deck of the house, to the NE
Rhododendron and Cedars in the back yard
Flowers on the dining room table
Oregon Junco in the yard
The front walkway
I think the placemats look incredible! Lol Miss u dad.
Love,

Hello Dave,
Your house and garden look beautiful. I started reading your blog a couple of years ago, but stopped for a while. This is my first time back in over a year or so. I noted your recent post on depression/anxiety and wanted to share an experience with you. Last month I attended a meditation retreat in Merritt. For me, the retreat helped shake off the last few remnants of those same negative and lingering mind-states that I was struggling with. If you have some free time, why not try it? It is a beautiful part of the province and I think you would enjoy the experience.

Perhaps you are already familiar with Vipassana, but if you’ve never had the opportunity to really focus deeply on it, I totally recommend it. Ten days of noble silence, vegetarian food and meditation instruction. Wonderful!
Dave,
These are gorgeous. Your home is gorgeous. A mirror to you.

Nice photographs Dave! Thanks for sharing and please continue to inform and inspire me. Gasho…
Dave,
Photo of mountains was rich- nice perspective. The wispy clouds lower in the foreground set up the upper 2/3 image neatly. Also, the blending of the whitecap peaks with the higher clouds at the top of image was top shelf. Chiming in with the other posters to say-keep them coming!!
