Shadows and Reflections in the Woods
It’s hard for me to tell which is which, but I think I found both – shadows and reflections – on yesterday’s walk in the woods. It was a new trail to us, a boardwalk, through a bog – West Hylebos Wetlands Park in… Continue Reading “Shadows and Reflections in the Woods”

Prettier in the Rain – Flowers at Point Defiance
Timing is everything. We’ve been to Point Defiance in Tacoma many times, but don’t always hit the right season to find the gardens in bloom. One year we did. There were Roses – I’m partial to the orange ones. There were Dahlias – I… Continue Reading “Prettier in the Rain – Flowers at Point Defiance”

Playing in Light Room – Black and White in Hawaii
I’ve already shared a few times from our trip to Hawaii last month, but I thought I’d take another look for this week’s Sunday Stills Color Challenge, #Black & White. There’s a lot of black to be found on the Big Island, because of… Continue Reading “Playing in Light Room – Black and White in Hawaii”

Red Square Diners
On our trip to the Oregon Coast last week, we stopped by C & C Classic Diner in Montesano, Washington, for lunch. The food was good, the ambiance was even better. Betty Boop was on hand to serve us. It reminded me of the… Continue Reading “Red Square Diners”

White and Wonderful, Snow and Clouds
For this week’s photo challenge, Sunday Stills, #White I’ll look to the pure driven snow and the snow-white clouds for inspiration. No snow so far in Seattle this year, so I’ll use some photos from past year’s glories, accented with two of my favorite… Continue Reading “White and Wonderful, Snow and Clouds”

From Sketchers to Starbucks
He’d worn out the Sketchers box though Bob tried taping it back together. Time to buy another pair of shoes or find another box. “Don’t worry, Sue, it’s fine.” “I’ll make do.” “It’s still great for napping.” Starbucks to the rescue. “How’s that, Benji?”… Continue Reading “From Sketchers to Starbucks”

Seven O’clock Sunset
I love this time of year when summer has turned to fall, and the sun begins to set earlier and earlier. I was in my office when I saw brilliant colors in the sky and went outside to capture them. It was near 7:00… Continue Reading “Seven O’clock Sunset”

Boeing Jets in Sevens
As you probably know, Boeing was born and raised in Seattle (so was I) so there’s much to see in the way of jets and planes around town at the plants that build them, such as these in Renton. “Boeing’s 737 factory at the… Continue Reading “Boeing Jets in Sevens”

An Assortment of Red, White, and Blue
For this week’s #Sunday Stills Color Challenge I went looking for red, white and blue and found it firstly in my own backyard. I’ve been trying to capture hummingbirds in flight (not as easy as I’d hoped) and got an unusual silhouette that will… Continue Reading “An Assortment of Red, White, and Blue”

A Gallery of Cobalt Blue
I love cobalt blue but it’s not so easy to find! So I went through my archives and found some in the most unusual places, starting with Texas! No, not in the bluebonnets, those lovely wildflowers that adorn Texas in the spring, but from… Continue Reading “A Gallery of Cobalt Blue”
