Shriner Peak, Mt. Rainier

I went hiking with a friend, my dad, and his two friends from work on July 14th. We headed towards Mt. Rainier in Western Washington, and proceeded to climb up an adjacent trail. We were greeted with much wildlife and picture opportunities. It was challenging, because all I brought was a Nikkor 105mm Macro. Shaky hands dont work too well with a macro lense. Towards the end, one of my dad's friends lent me his 70-300mm, so some shots are also with that lense.










There was an ant on a flower. I spent about 5 minutes taking these pictures.

DCI at Hillsboro, Oregon

On June 8th, DCI hosted a show down in Hillsboro, OR. Attending was the Phantom Regiment, Blue Devils, Spokane Thunder, Velvet Knights, and Oregon Crusaders. I was told all were fantastic, but I skipped out on the Open class corps to fulfill a dream of mine--to see and hear Phantom Regiment Warm up. What a fantastic sound, and Corps.
