Scenes from Twisp
- Hills above Twisp, Washington – the hills were actually quite green, especially for this time of year (a reflection of the wet spring Washington has had this year), but I liked this black & white interpretation better than the color version
Last weekend Tanya and I traveled to Twisp, Washington to stay with friends at their cabin. The cabin sits on a hillside overlooking the Twisp River. We spent a lot of time relaxing, reading, eating and drinking. It was a great time. I did not get my camera out much – this wasn’t suppose to be photo weekend, but a time with friends. However, I did take a few shots. Here are a few scenes from Twisp I hope you enjoy.
Starting Young - young street musicians at the Twisp Farmers Market.
Old Boards - close up of the side of an old Twisp building, long used to hang flyers and community announcements, as evidenced by thousands of staples
Chip - this fellow and his compadres turned the cabin's bird feeder into a chipmunk feeder
Check Out Seldom’s New Website
I’ve revamped my website. Actually the new site has been up for about a month, but I haven’t announced it until now because I wanted to fix a few broken links. Please visit the new site, if you haven’t done so already, and tell me what you think! The site is at www.seldomseenphoto.com.

Summer is the time of art festivals. This summer, I have pieces hanging in three juried art festivals here in the Puget Sound region. So, if you happen to be in the region, and want to see some good art, visit one of these festivals.
