Poodle Joy | East Wenatchee, WA | 2015 Better than most creatures, dogs know bliss in the moment. Past regrets? No worries. Impending doom? Pshtt. Money? Sex? Health? Status? All good. A poodle bounding through a river’s shallows embodies that

Bones | East Wenatchee, WA | 2015 The dog lies stretched on the carpet amid a spray of favorite bones. He’s gnawed some of them for years, held them in his paws, sniffed and licked, gone wherever wild smells and tastes could take him. These photos

Pool Reflection | Bellevue, WA | 2015 We are walking sacks of water, right? Scientists say human bodies are composed of 60% good ol’ H2O (babies are closer to 70%), with most of that sloshing around inside our cells. No wonder the majority of us like to swim. Wading into a pool is a return…

Light | Wenatchee, WA | 2014 I can’t help but stare when a single light glows in darkness. The bright center represents all that’s good: warmth, purity, hope, knowledge, life itself. It holds back gloom and despair. Also, the spectrum of fading illumination is an everyday reminder of our

Doughnut | East Wenatchee, WA | 2014 Temptation is an odd phenomenon.
