Cool Photos from West Medical Lake

I snapped a couple of cool photos last Sunday morning at West Medical Lake. West Medical is just a couple miles from my house and a great fishing hole. Enjoy.


Christmas 2009

Pano – Panoramic Photo App for the iPhone and iPod Touch

Fall in Spokane – The Finch Arboretum is Cold in the Morning
