Nap time, City style

May 8th, 2009

It seems there is NO bad time for a nap. As I roamed the city today, I saw this young soul sound asleep in full snore mode. However, I wondered at first if he was trying to find the piece of cookie that got away.

Spring Beauty

May 6th, 2009

Well it has been more then several days since my last post. I am getting busier by the minute. Starting my Masters Degree this upcoming week, and got a new camera. Not sure if that is a good combination but, hey! who doesn't like a challenge?

I finally got my Nikon D90 and, wow, truly blown away by its capability and functionality. I was a little more then bummed by the preposterous amount of rain we have had this week, yet I was determined to find a rain break and snap a few pics. This is around the corner at a local dog trail. Ahh, the beauty of spring.

Masterful Oversight

May 1st, 2009

In a city that is symbolized throughout the world by one single structure, the space needle looms on every corner daring you to ask," What city is this again?"

Opening Day

April 16th, 2009

What a day it was for Opening Day 2009. With Ken Griffey Jr. back in a Mariners uniform, it was being 10 all over again. Safeco Field has a retractable roof, and immediately after introductions they opened it up.

Crane Watching

April 10th, 2009

In the midst of these turbulent and down-trodden economic times, sometimes it can do wonders to just sit and view life from a different angle or take a couple moments for yourself. That was the case on the Seattle waterfront in the late afternoon.

Race To Tiger Mountain

April 6th, 2009


What a gorgeous weekend! As you can see I have not posted for the last two days due to the lack of being inside and having time to sit around at the computer. We spent Sunday hiking for a good 6 hours and managed to make the peak of Tiger Mountain through 3-6 feet of snow from 2000 feet on up! What a view and well worth the Sunburn and numbing toes.

Congratulations to E4H(Engineer for Hire) for winning the 100th posting competition!

Up Up and Away

March 31st, 2009

With all the rain we get throughout the year here in western Washington, its no wonder everything is so green. Here in the deep forests of eastern King County the rich and thick moss envelops everything from the ground to the sky.

Something in the Water

March 30th, 2009


Today, the sun decided to show for a few hours and it was a much welcomed sight. We decided to join a throng of others and made it down Marymoor Park to the dog park. We loved being out in sun and soaking in some vitamin D!

Interesting things can always be found, just" look at that doggy in the window".

In Motion

March 26th, 2009

An unintended shot can sometimes be turn into the best. Does this ever happen to you? It seems it happens to me more then I would like and I go to look at the pictures and I think," wow that actually turned out well!" Take a look at the sole stem in the middle which is stationary.

Maternal Bond

March 25th, 2009

It seems babies are all around us these days. So precious are those few years when the innocence is brilliant in glow.

Merkiness

On a foggy morning you can look out and barely see the hand in front of your face. However, this morning, even though the fog was in force, it provided an erie picture with some great atmosphere.

Perfect Pitch

March 20th, 2009

Yesterday was the inaugural game for the Seattle Sounders. It was a great match and what better setting for a futbol match then Qwest Field with its dynamic background.

C'est la Vie!

March 17th 2009

On this St. Patty's Day we say goodbye to a Seattle icon. The Seattle PI is no more, at least as a "regular" newspaper. It is sad to see something so iconic disappear, however, the only thing I am certain about is nothing lasts forever, regardless how iconic or "big" it is. I wish all those at the PI the best, and welcome to the unemployment line. The Title means Such is Life. Unfortunately, its no longer, " In the PI"

Morning Joe

March 15th, 2009

The Ides of of March, here it comes, and.... there it goes, halfway through the month and you might think we were smack-dab in the middle of January.
What a great day to start the day that with a nice piece of pie and a warm cup of joe on a cold day.

Tulips

March 14th, 2009

After a gloomy weekend it is always nice to start the week of right and and colorful. It is apparent, even if the weather is not, that spring is on its way. Tulips are on the horizon in the fields north of Seattle.

Puddle Full of Sunshine

March 13th, 2009

It seems to never fail, whenever there is a Friday the 13th, there are the crazy people to go along with it. I hope your week has been productive and you have been able to enjoy a little sunshine ( if you are in the northwest region) and you are able to take a little time for yourself this weekend.
