The Story Behind webdzine's Cover Photo

visit webdzine.com's all new photo gallery


It was winter 2015: intermittent deluges. No one was on the beach but me and someone intrepidly taking photos who seemed to walk right through the churning, flowing water at Elk Creek. I took copious photos of the photog with camera stand and two stately dogs. Posted one to FB. Quickly learned that it was Teri Pieper! She and I met years ago in Winthrop, WA. She was at Winthrop Gallery exhibiting photos she had taken at the very same beach. Then, she hospitably asked me to join a dinner party at the Old Schoolhouse Brewery with her and the locals. It was a hot summer, and we sat out on the deck that hangs over the Chewuch River listening to live bands. It was the same Methow Valley trip where I acquired Henri, the glass bird who lives on the deck at Daydream Cottage. What a fond memory. Teri loves The Sandpiper and clamming. This winter she was staying at The Sandpiper. I was at Daydream Cottage. Weather warnings and fact that my time at the beach was up prevented us from getting together. Here is Teri's blog: myeverydayphotos.wordpress.com. Turns out her beach photog suit is waterproof. Her pants are waders.





You know, Henri.
