Someone is using my name in an attempt to scam people. I am not now nor have I ever been looking for any kind of assistant. I certainly wouldn't ever ask anyone to cash a check to me or to make a Western Union payment to anyone else (especially not someone in Manilla!). This is a classic Fake Check scam. Learn more about that at www.fakechecks.org. If you've been in contact with this person, please report them ASAP!

This is a very Tacoma Scene.  I've shot pictures in the same spot, but this is by far my favorite.  This is a picture of the Tacoma Glass Museum with the 21st Street Bridge in the background and the moon behind that.  Mt. Rainier is just out of frame to the left.
Tacoma's beautiful 11th Street bridge reflects wonderfully in the Thea Foss waterway.

This is a portion of a sculpture on the roof of the Tacoma Glass Museum.  I saw this as a perfect example of a frame within a frame earlier in the day and knew that I had to come and shoot it later that evening.
Yay the first "s" curve of the trip.  This was a footpath over the hot waters of a pond in the park in Rotorua.
