This blog will be returning to regular posting on Wednesday. But first I thought I should catch up on my photo posts. Many of these have already been seen on Gennie's flickr account but I like to have them here too. As it's been (almost exactly) a year since my last photo post, there are lots of photos so I've split them up into three groups. The second and third of these will be posted tomorrow and Tuesday.
I finally developed the last film from my old analogue camera, which has been languishing in a drawer for most of the past 8 years or so. Surprisingly, the pictures still came out reasonably well despite the age of the film:
I'm not quite sure where this one was taken - probably either Welcombe (shortly before I moved here) or Redmond (shortly after, in the backwoods of the Microsoft campus).
I believe this was taken at Wenatchee, when I went white-water rafting with some Microsoft colleagues.
Here are the photos from our trip around the Olympic penisula in September.
The Quinault rainforest:

Hurricane Ridge:
Lake Crescent:

Trip to the apple orchard in October 2008:
