Aerial Photo Calendar

Every Christmas I make a calendar for my friends and family. This year the theme of the calendar is "Aerial North Cascades," containing 13 carefully selected high-quality aerial images of Washington's rugged and beautiful glaciated North Cascades. Each month is represented by an aerial photo taken during that month. Here is a sampling of my aerial photography.

The calendars are large format and professionally printed by Apple. Contact me at sabegg@gmail.com if you are interested in acquiring a calendar(s). I order the calendars from Apple on an individual basis and get them directly shipped to your address. The calendar can be ordered at any time, and can be even be customized to span any range of months (for example, June 2013-June 2014).

Photos by month:
JAN: Early Winters / Liberty Bell
FEB: South Hozomeen
MAR: Hidden Lake Lookout
APR: Glacier Peak
MAY: Shuksan
JUN: Baker
JUL: Bonanza
AUG: Baker
SEP: Dome Peak
OCT: Wildfires '12
NOV: Mt. Stuart
DEC: Southern Pickets
(JAN): Rainier
+++: Mystery peak on cover

As a challenge, if you can name the summit on the cover photo below I will offer you (for the same price) a special 13-month calendar containing Mt. Rainier on the extra month.

				Flower Photographs (more below)

(Cool fact: The alpine pink columbine that appears in the larger box above is a hybrid between the lower elevation crimson columbine and higher elevation alpine columbine. These rare and gorgeous flowers cannot reproduce, and are formed only when a bee happens to carry pollen from one species to the other. God's creation is pretty ingenious!

I have a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens that I use to take photos of flowers and bugs (click to open bug page). Macro photography is lots of fun, and gives a great appreciation for the detail in nature. Oftentimes, it takes patience and several shots to get a good photo of a flower fluttering in the breeze!

The following is a sampling of some of my favorite flowers, mostly from Washington, British Columbia, and California.
