Fourth of July Fireworks Vashon-Style, 2006!

For 15 years, one of the best-kept Vashon secrets and argueably one of the best fireworks displays in all of metro Puget Sound has been right here on Vashon Island. 2006 was probably the last year it would ever be this great.

December snow, 2008

6929_snow_2008

This horse-drawn sleigh went by on Bank Road. I grabbed my camera and raced to my bedroom window and shot...

6945_snow_2008

I love the gate, Japanese lantern and garden of the house across the street. It's even more beautiful after days of snow...

6973_snow_2008

I had all the snow cleared off my car Saturday morning December 20th when I went over to Thriftway. This is 48 hours later, on Monday morning. Given that my car has 15" wheels, I'll let you estimate how much snow's on the ground. It's still snowing...

Vashon Vultures Lacrosse!

First 2007 Vultures LAX photos are up!

Vultures vs Eastlake, 03/14/2007

At March 2007, I've completely re-created all the 2004 LAX games albums to bring them up to the quality of my current photography. There's no new photos, but all of them should be much bigger and much higher in quality. Also, I've finally added the Pikemen vs Eastside Lacrosse from 05/15/2004. If you had any bookmarks to the 2004 photos, they're probably broken :-/
