Mấy cây đó là do gió, bão, đất lỡ... nên cây ngã/ chết trôi ra biển rồi tấp vô các bãi biển khác lâu ngày thành nhiều vậy đó lait, gọi là driftwood, không biết tiếng VN mình gọi là gì

Photographer: Dené Miles, Seattle
Photo taken: July 23, Mount St. Helens
Photographer's description: "What a treat to see the wildflowers in full bloom at the mountain. Such a lovely contrast and perfect Northwest summer scene. Used my Nikon D90, with polarizer."
Expert says: "This photo wins hands down with its nice composition and beautiful light on Mount St. Helens. The wildflowers anchoring the image fill the frame with life 30 years after the volcano's eruption. While I'm not a proponent of filters, the polarizer helps even out the direct sunlight in the sky and exposed crater with the foliage in the shadows."

Photographer: Jane Monserud, Seattle
Photo taken: July 28, Ross Lake, North Cascades
Photographer's description: "We went on a kayak trip on Ross Lake in the North Cascades the last week of July with two other couples. Each morning when we woke up the water was like glass. This picture was taken with a Canon PowerShot camera."
Expert says: "The mirrorlike waters create a symmetrical composition for the two kayakers gliding across Ross Lake. The hills and snow-capped mountain add a sense of place. One suggestion would be to crop the top and bottom off to make this a narrow horizontal, eliminating dead space and focusing attention on the paddlers and scenery."

Photographer: Ian Lottis, Bellevue

Photo taken: July 25, near Pyramid Peak, Kittitas County

Photographer's description: "We drove up some Forest Service roads to watch the sunset/moonrise, and right after the sun set we found a huge tree cemetery, with the moon rising right over it. I thought the waning sunlight lit the trees beautifully from behind. The camera was a Canon PowerShot A650."

Expert says: "Here's a different photo to channel our inner Jacob. This image stands out because it's different. The cathedral peak of dead trees nicely frames the full moon. I like the grid pattern created by the vertical lines of tree trunks and horizontal lines of clouds and horizon. There's beauty in symmetry and the ghostly remains of trees."

Photo taken: Aug. 12, Rattlesnake Lake, North Bend

Photographer's description: "Two friends and I went out to Rattlesnake Lake to take some night shots of the Perseid meteor shower. We arrived around 1:15 a.m. and stayed till 4:30. On our way out we decided to get some lake shots; luckily I captured a small meteor above Rattlesnake Ridge. Shot with a Pentax K-7; exposure 30 seconds, aperture f/3.5, focal length 10 mm, ISO speed 400."

Expert says: "Here's an amazing photo with nice composition, good use of the reflection on the water, great color — and it captured a meteor. The one drawback is the use of a super wide-angle lens. Employing a longer lens, maybe a 35 mm or 50 mm lens, would have made the shooting star more prominent."

Photo taken: July, San Juan Islands

Photographer's description: "I told the [whale-watching] captain that all I asked was to get a picture of a whale breaching in front of Mount Baker. He said he'd set it up. I thought, 'God is the only one who could set that up!' I prayed and look what happened! I'm titling this 'Breaching for Heaven.' "

Diane Sacks of Seattle snapped this photo after spending the night at Paradise Lodge with a couple friends. We woke up to a mist-covered mountain, Sacks writes, but by noon, it was spectacular. Great friends, the mountain and best of all, the sun ... ahh, paradise indeed. [hình như Mt. Rainiers thì phải]
