Hanging On, originally uploaded by ronWLS.

This is definitely one of my favorites shots of 2012 and probably of all time. I love the way the light works with dark area behind Shane under Hedge Creek Falls giving a great background. Shane is busy holding the rope for Farren as she is doing a solo climb up the face of the Falls. His intent gaze is wonderful.

The Great Mountain – B&W, originally uploaded by ronWLS.

Well I guess it’s time to pay attention. This has always been one of those things where I am just about to get a regular habit of posting and it doesn’t happen. But as I’ve said that is about to change. I’ve recently started paying attention (as I’ve said) and now I will start using the power of WordPress and we shall see!

365/127 – Afternoon Cloud, originally uploaded by ronWLS.

I had to turn around and find a place to get a shot of this cloud. It was just too interesting to resist. I believe there were some thunderstorms this day as there often is over Mt Lassen.

Here is the mountain shortly before the sun set.

365/97 – Post-Storm, originally uploaded by ronWLS.

We had quite a storm today and it was quite beautiful once it was done. A little snow going on at Shasta Bally as can be seen. Another view from the old office window but the cloud was too cool. A couple of passes with Topaz Adjust for the post here.

365/95 – Black Butte Cinder Cone, originally uploaded by ronWLS.

Had a day out walking, hiking, shooting and exploring. It was very cool as it was a Friday and a work day. My boss was doing a 5 year anniversary day for me. Saw many new places and things today. Watch for upcoming photos.

Here is a 3 shot panorama that I took yesterday at our Waterfall Meetup. It’s pretty nondescript.

365/79 – Fun with Topaz, originally uploaded by ronWLS.

Busy days. Busy nights. Doesn’t give a whole lotta time to take shots and make shots. Here is the first out of the office window with the new camera. Some post with Topaz too.

365/26 – Ice Towers, originally uploaded by ronWLS.

Seems like it’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve seen the sun here but I don’t mind. The snow pack looks nice and we still have winter enough left for more snow.
Tonight we got a cool call. It was the local art league calling to let my wife know that she should be at the awards ceremony on Friday for the National Juried Art Show as she is an award winner. That is just too cool. I will have a photo in Enjoy Magazine in March for being one of the finalists in their Cover Contest. We are both starting off 2010 well.

365/21 – Fresh Snow, originally uploaded by ronWLS.

Another in the series and because it was easy. Thursdays are another day that is usually quite busy and when the stormy weather is here and the days are short then the view from my office window is kind of nice at times.
