My name is Ken. I live in Puyallup, WA. Been retired 14 months now. Have always been interested in photography but somehow never got beyond a point and shoot. Recently purchased a used Canon EOS 20D w/extra lenses. Lots to absorb. Hope to learn something here and maybe someday contribute.

Welcome Ken... Since you live in Puyallup, start with posting the daffodils and the mountain. Can't go wrong with either no matter what your skill level and everyone loves it. I grew up there so I am looking forward to seeing your local shots.
Thank you,
I see you live in Rochester, so you know we have had a pretty mild winter (so far). The daffodils in my yard are already about six inches high, so it won't be long before we see some color. However, the daffodil fields in the valley, as you may remember them, are very few and far between. They've mostly been covered over with concrete. Shame, shame. As you say there is always the mountain. I'll see what I can find.

Ken,
Arline got a taste of that last year. She and Robert came up for the day and said "Hey, let's go shoot Daffodils in Puyallup!" to which I replied "Uh, yeah, sure, but where?"
We went for a drive and she discovered that just about all the fields are gone, most replaced by houses. I know of only one or two fields these days, and they're not always planted with Daffodils. It's sad to see all that wonderful rich black soil go to waste.
