My time to get away and explore is often between shifts at the fire department. One of those days was on a recent Sunday. After my 24-hour shift, I set off for the Olympic Peninsula. I stopped for a quick nap and early dinner near Hoodsport, Washington, then drove to Lake Cushman. I made a…
This past weekend, Spring weather arrived in the Pacific Northwest. Temperatures west of the cascades reached the 70s, and we had several days without rain. The warmer weather was a welcome relief from one of the wettest and coolest springs. Before this, snow fell in the Cascades Mountains – making for very scenic conditions. We’re…
When I arrived at the Rouge Cloître near Brussels, Belgium, I entered the complex and walked past this building. It wasn’t until later in the morning I came back for photos of this area. The sun was low in the sky. Beautiful sidelight hit one side of the 15th-century structure, cobblestone courtyard, and gardens. Daffodils…
Here are a few more photos from my trip to Belgium. Today is another round of pictures from the Rouge Cloîtren in Auderghem (Brussels), Belgium. You can read my previous story from this location at The Miller’s House. The area I’m featuring is the farm and agriculture section of the property. The buildings here…

I broke my collection of black and white photos of Yosemite into several themes. This week, I’m sharing views from Yosemite Valley. Enjoy!

After some research, I found the Abbaye du Rouge Cloître on the forest edge, southeast of Brussels. Up before dawn, I set off in that direction.
I recently shared a few photos from my visit to Lake Cushman on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state. If you missed it, read that part of the story HERE. With many areas near Lake Cushman still inaccessible by vehicle, I headed to the next watershed to the north, the Hamma Hamma River. A quick…
This past February/March, I had the opportunity to visit my daughter in Brussels, Belgium. Though the trip’s intent wasn’t sightseeing and photography, I did manage to get out a few times to explore in the 3-weeks I was there. I arose before sunrise on the first day out and arrived at the La Cambre Abbey…
