Solar prominences (the red loopy bits on the right edge) visible at eclipse totality. Due to the brightness of the sun's corona, I was not able to see them with my naked eyes, so was delighted to have them show up in the photos. The sun's "secret" revealed!

I'd always wanted to see a total solar eclipse with my own eyes. This year, I finally made the pilgrimage to the eclipse path, and what a sight indeed it was! Shown here is the "diamond ring effect" just brief moments before totality.

After a less than fruitful season last year, the mushrooms have been popping up like crazy on the west coast this fall. I have a special liking for taking pictures of mushrooms, as they were my favourite subjects when I first picked up photography back in the days of film. I spent many hours in the soaking wet rainforests of the mainland to take mushroom portraits, sometimes flat out with my belly to the ground. They definitely force you to see a different perspective, and for that I'll always continue to shoot them with fondness.

This lovely arbutus tree greeted me on my first visit to Orcas Island. I've loved these trees since first getting to know them on moving to the west coast. Indralaya is a Sanskrit word meaning "a home for the spiritual forces in nature".

The fog lifted, revealing blue sky and towering mountains watching over an alpine meadow colourfully dotted with delicate wildflowers. Upper Big Quilcene, Olympic National Forest, United States.
