It was on a morning back in may when I was up early that I took these beautiful pictures from my window. I love having a view of the Columbia River from my house. Hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed taking them.
Sunrise Over the Columbia River #11 by Dawna Morton — see it framed
As seen from Rainier, Oregon, the banks of the Columbia River near Longview and Kelso, Washington are obscured in fog. A soft glowing light filters down from the clouds on this tranquil Pacific Northwest morning and shimmers on the river as it flows between the evergreen forests, over a sandbar, and towards the Pacific Ocean.

About a month ago while I was getting some photos ready to post for sale, I decided my bleeding heart arch across the forest picture would be even better with a more abstract background; so, I tried playing around in paint.net with using multiple semi transparent layers with different layer blend modes as well as taking it back in to picassa afterward to retouch a few areas that were still not soft enough.

Here are some more pictures I took back in April of the apple blossoms on our trees. I love the effects I was able to create using some of the tools in picassa. The abstract shapes of the light in the forest in behind this sprig of flowers helped make these truly spectacular. I hope you all enjoy these too:

A pink tint adds a dramatic flair to this elegant photo of white apple blossoms, making the light in the dark forest background appear like a splash of luminescent water in mid-air, or like firelight dancing on the crystal inside a geode.
I like to use the graduated tint feature to add tints to just part of a photo– rather than just sticking to using it solely for skies.

All through April I was keeping an eye on the budding apple trees in the back yard, waiting for them to blossom. Then the day came when they were in bloom and the sun was out in all its spring glory. Here are the pictures, after having some fun tweaking them on the computer:

Bright, cheerful apple blossoms in the foreground of this photo are juxtaposed against an impressionistic dark, moody background.
I love the dreamy, moody, almost surreal, impressionistic feel achieved in this by using a graduated tint as well as several other editing tools

The sepia tones in this picture of bright spring sun shining though the branches of a cherry tree as a bit of lens flare steaks across the elegantly translucent white cherry blossoms causes the sky to have a bit of a beautiful sunlit fog appearance.Back in April when I was headed in the back yard to do some chores done, I noticed how beautifully the sunlight was shining the cherry blossoms and ran in for my camera. I ended up grabbing a branch and pulling it down closer to the camera for at least one of these shots.

Here is the third installment of red crab apple blossom photos I took at my friend R. T.’s house. …
Recently my friend R. T. invited my family over to dinner and Family Home Evening at her house. The sun was shining particularly bright that day, and at just the right angle to draw my attention to the beautiful red flowers on the tree right outside her dining room window. I’m not sure how I managed to miss it before since I have been there many times during the past 5 years that I’ve known her. Since she graciously gave me permission to come back another time to photograph them, I came back a few days later while out on a walk in the spring sunshine with my camera.
Based on the small amount of research I did on the internet I think it is an ornamental crab apple tree hybrid, perhaps a Malus ‘Radiant’ crab apple , which is a bit surprising because of the size of the tree. It’s about as tall as the house and pretty thick around. I got these shots from several windows which are a good 10 ft above the ground at least. Thankfully there is a zoom lens on my camera so I wasn’t tempted to try climbing a ladder to get these. 😉 And a BIG thank you to Mrs. R. T. for the privilege of photographing the view from her windows 😀
