Heidi took off Riley's pants to put on his knee guards, but Riley didn't want to put his pants back on, so the rest of his rollerskating gear went on, sans pants.

Olympic Mountains/Hurricane Ridge
The one excursion my parents and I took this week was to Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic Mountains. This shot was one of a few panorama shots I made.

Not the same type of moss I see in Florida

Not the same type of pine cones I see in Florida, either.

Unless I misread the sign, the peak near the center of this shot is Mount Olympus.

Another panorama shot.

The next several shots were taken at the top of this peak—basically the highest point in the visitors' area that one can easily hike up to.

Most of the photos in this album are unretouched. You can even see the stupid little dust spots that are on the CCD of my office's Nikon D100. (It got professionally cleaned some time later.) In the mean time, I can easily touch out those spots when I'm doing color correction—both of which were performed to this photo.

Olympic Mountains/Hurricane Ridge
We timed our visit to the top perfectly. Clouds began rolling in as we headed down the mountain. If you look very closely in the distance on the road, a deer was crossing the road.

Olympic Mountains/Hurricane Ridge
Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera set for dimmer conditions, so my closer shot was too long of an exposure and the result was this blurry nastiness.

Olympic Mountains/Hurricane Ridge
Kinda beautifully spooky.

It was right about this very area that I took photos of Port Angeles down below during our trip up the mountain. On the way back down, visibility was not even 100 feet.

One brief break in the clouds to see a ship coming into Port Angeles.

Some Fall color shots on the last leg of the road out of the park.

Cape Flattery
Instead of returning home, mom had the idea of heading all the way out to Cape Flattery—just about the most extreme northwest corner of the contiguous United States—on the Makah Indian Reservation. These photos of some sea stacks was taken just before the east-side border of the reservation.

My only other photo-enhanced image in this album. This was the closest I could shoot. I found another site with several closer aerial photos.
