Up Up and.... Gone?

January 30th, 2009

The Columbia Tower seems to disappear in the morning fog, which miraculously burned off as the day wore on.

Blue Lagoon?

January 30th, 2009

It seems as if this Blue Heron knew the shutter was about to close on him, as he quickly turned right before this picture, offering himself in a complete silhouette against a backdrop of the Olympic Mountains.

Wanted: Warm Chaps

January 29th, 2009

A bench is something which is always calling, if not to you, then to someone, wanting someone to sit, think, ponder, observe, watch, listen, talk.... see everything which it sees daily. Well, I must admit this bench has a great view. Although it is the dead of winter and the tree ahead looks rather dapper, the thought of an early spring bloom keeps this bench on its, hinges.

Calming Effect

After a trying beginning to the week I just needed a picture which had a calming effect. Looking for something to look towards a brighter future.In this picture, literally a brighter future. Enjoy!

Lone Fighter

January 27th, 2009

On a day which allowed me to view more birds in one particular park then I ever had the privilage of seeing before, there stood a lone American-Robin, who was by no means camera shy. He kept fluttering for attention and hoping around toward me as I turned away. If you look closely you can see him almost smiling.

A Fisherman's Dream

January 26th, 2009

I was able to get out and about with my girlfriend today and enjoyed myself quite thoroughly. If you have been reading the blog you might know this waterfall from a past post about the flooding in the Northwest along with the impressive roaring torrent at Snoqualmie Falls. On that day it was impossible to get down the lower portion of the falls and get a great view. However, today was a different story as I was treated a local fisherman of the falls. What looks like dust particles is actually snow in early the afternoon.

Two Enjoy the View

January 25th, 2009

As I stepped up to the shore, this lone seagull evoked no fear and was determined to enjoy a slight break in the clouds and fog to enjoy the somewhat hazy view of an otherwise clear Seattle. Although this picture was not taken from Alkai Beach it was close enough to warrant a diversion in the day.
