Spring camporee

I went to our district camporee at Ensign ranch for work and while I was there I passed the time by taking pictures for a scout camp project I have been working on slowly. Ensign Ranch is owned by the LDS church and operates girls camp during the summer they also do Scout camp or encampments. It looks like any other summer camp complete with stuff just sitting around for no reason.

On my last trip to yakima we drove by this abandoned oil company. there was a gas station out side or what was left of it and a fuel truck. This company was a part of the exxon corp.

i drove up to the scout camp that i used to work at and was able to walk thru the snow to get some photographs. the whole camp was under about 3 feet of snow. it started to rain then snow while i was up in the camp but i was able to shoot a few rolls.

The town that i grew up in is known for its fruit and apple orchards. When you think washington apples its from the area i grew up in. This is from a orchard that has been demolished to make room for more housing developments.

my parents house

my parents bought a house a few months ago and have been fixing it up. I was able to take some shots at the early stages of remodeling.

new walmart

we just found out that they are building a new walmart 2 miles from my apartment. they have been working on it for a while but haven't told anyone what the building was until its almost finnished. here is a sign called chucks located next to the new walmart. i don't know if it was destroyed or if the gas station is offically called chucks.

thrashers corner

ok so its been a fairly busy week for me but i was able to get this picture of a coffee shop in an area of bothell called thrashers corner. This stand isn't on a corner but in the middle of a parking lot behind a dairy queen.

An experiment

Being inspired by Darren Clark and his blog i thought that this would be an interesting spot to show off some of my projects. i'm debating if i should make a web page or not but for now this is a start.
This is a cofee shack in everett washington located next to a casino. This is one of my first pictures of drive up coffee shacks.
