Yet another addition from mu-43

[WhidbeyLVR]

Hello, all. A lot of recent names in this sub-forum are quite familiar.

• I have several Olympus MFT cameras and too many lenses.
• My primary image tools are DxO PL5, Gimp and Hugin.
• My Flickr page is flickr.com/whidbeylvr
• I live on an island in the Puget Sound / Salish Sea and have an occasional view of a snow-capped volcano (Mount Baker).
• I used to travel, pre-pandemic. Hope to resume one day soon.

Welcome, Lyle

After reading your description of where you are located I had to check your Flickr stream; I think my wife would be envious of such a location! What are winters like on the island? Do you get cutoff in the winters months or is is relatively moderate?

Last February:

Snow on Whidbey, Street Panorama


A few days later:

Join to see EXIF info for this image (if available)

Last January:

Mount Baker Portrait

Something in-between sunshine and snow is typical (clouds, drizzle). There are bridges which link Whidbey to other islands and eventually to the mainland. We are seldom stuck here for very long.

Thanks for posting those, looks like an absolutely beautiful place. The snow fall looks no worse than what we get these days in SE PA.

You now have me going down the online rabbit hole of reading up on the area.

Welcome! I'm envious, the Puget Sound is where I'd love to end up one day!

Greetings, all. Lots of folks here have or did have some mu43 gear and it tends to be well-loved on this forum.

Whidbey is a scenic spot to call home.

Welcome Lyle. What's not to love about the Puget Sound area.

Yeah there's a few of us around that found this forum (Thanks John) ;-) Nice shots.

All the best.

Hello Lyle, nice to see you on board here, too.
And some beautiful photos for a starter.
I've been following your "special eyes" and PP skills on mu-43 for quite some time.

Yes Lyle, I too think it is your turn to give us a challenge.

Hi Robert and welcome, I've somehow missed that you came over, too.
You'll certainly feel at home here from the start.
