Lone Flamingo

2009-07-01T08:16:00.001-07:00

The Westin hotel in Ka’anapali has a large pool for animals, fish and yes, Flamingo’s! I managed to snap this shot of a Flamingo from behind the waterfall, the edges are all warped from my LensBaby.

Steps

2009-06-30T09:52:00.001-07:00

Just outside the Sheridan Hotel in Ka’anapali, they tell you how far it is to go to familiar places around Hawaii, and how long it will take you to get there. Clearly we went the shortest distance

Water Depth Measured in Colour

2009-06-29T12:57:00.001-07:00

I’m back from vacation in Hawaii, and finally caught up from the onslaught of work enough to get back into processing and posting photographs from the trip! These two “stand-up” surfers were just out on the water having a great time. What attracted me to this photo was the lines of the water, as it got deeper and deeper.

Majestic

2009-06-23T08:51:00.001-07:00

Taking the Anacortes Ferry from Victoria, BC to Anacortes, WA, you get a wonderful view of Mt. Baker. Usually I find that taking a shot of a mountain off in the distance is futile, as the snow on the mountain typically blends in with the cloud and the mountain disappears, but it was such a crisp morning out on the water Mt. Baker just leaped out of the country side.

Japanese Pink Pealback

2009-05-29T00:28:00.001-07:00

I spent a good 3-4 hours at Buchart Gardens the other day, and if you want my opinion, without the rose garden in bloom, the Japanese gardens is by far the best section of the whole thing. I kind of wish I didn’t toss out the flower finder guide so I knew what this one was called. Anyone know? For now I’m calling it the Japanese Pink Pealback. I gotta be close right?

Taller than the Rest

2009-05-27T08:26:00.001-07:00

At Buchart Gardens over the Memorial Day weekend, this tulip was a good 3 or 4 inches taller than the rest.

Moral Support

This fence was built around the tree, which was great since it was a beautiful tree.

Topless and Abandoned

2009-05-22T17:48:00.001-07:00

Chinatown in Victoria has an abandoned building that’s mostly missing. While I thought it was interesting, I think it’s even more interesting with the LensBaby.

Where we’re going, Where we’ve been

2009-05-20T07:25:00.001-07:00

Driving around Victoria, we stopped to take a photo… this post of looking out in the water while the dog is looking back kind of makes me think about people moving forward, and dogs just wanting routine. Shot with my LensBaby.

Red Railing

2009-05-17T16:01:00.001-07:00

On the Scenic Drive around the sound of Vancouver Island, there is a great stop to take photos. While everyone else was shooting the ocean, I turned around and snapped this bright red fence. The “tilt-shift” comes from my LensBaby.

Spring in Seattle

2009-05-12T10:18:00.001-07:00

Seeing as I’m in Seattle this week, I felt this picture appropriate. After you’ve got about 100 shots of the Space Needle, you start looking around the Space Needle, and the clouds really drew me to this one.

Get it off!

2009-05-11T08:16:00.001-07:00

While at the Chihuahua meet-up this past weekend, Chico was harassed by a puppy named Henry, and the look on his face is priceless. Truth be told though, Chico would see any other dog off that came near Henry… so I think they are friends.

Clutter for Sale

2009-05-08T08:12:00.000-07:00

While walking around the Vancouver Public Market on Grandville Island, this gentleman had a few things for sale, and he looked content just sitting in the middle of it all.

Where is Spiderman?

2009-05-07T08:16:00.000-07:00

My last visit to Chicago, I saw this L-Train speeding by and captured it mostly sharp, while blurring the background. Looking at it after I shot it, it reminded me of the L-Train that Spiderman chased and stopped in Spiderman 2 vs Doctor Octopus.

Barely Afloat

2009-05-06T10:43:00.001-07:00

While taking an Argosy cruise from Lake Union to the Puget Sound, this old boat was just resting at one of the docks, I’m surprised it was still floating.

Spring Green

2009-05-05T07:33:00.001-07:00

Spring is finally here, we have rain, we have green, we have blooming, and we have sun (the odd day).

The Italian

2009-05-04T12:34:00.001-07:00

While at the El Gaucho Restaurant in Seattle, an Italian friend of mine burst out into laughter.

Hammocks

2009-04-30T09:30:00.001-07:00

Given all the trouble that Mexico is having in the news, I thought I’d dig up a photo so that we remember how beautiful Mexico is once this pandemic is over.

Sunset Cruise

2009-04-29T10:25:00.001-07:00

On a Holland America Cruise, I was walking along the pool deck and noticed the sunset through a sheet of glass. I managed to line up the smoke stacks of the ship for an interesting shot.

Train Explorer

2009-04-28T10:23:00.001-07:00

While shooting at the Train Museum in Snoqualmie, I was following my fellow photographer, he was walking up ahead of me on the unused tracks, and I snapped this one

Final Resting Place

2009-04-27T11:00:00.001-07:00

This train car was taken at the Snoqualmie train museum. I started to wonder if the number 95028 on the side was the car number, the zip code it was registered, or where it’s final resting place was.

Gangsta and Money

2009-04-24T08:36:00.001-07:00

At a 70’s party, these two gangsta’s showed up in full piece suits!

Waiting to Rust

2009-04-23T08:07:00.001-07:00

At the Train Museum, these chains clearly hadn’t been moved in a long time, just resting on an old train, waiting to rust.
