My wonderful husband Skip is an amazing film photographer and is just revisiting photography through the digital world. While we were in Depoe Bay, Oregon (USA), he captured this excellent shot of a wave crashing on the rocks. Isn’t this a great photograph? I think he has incredible potential, don’t you?!?!?
I captured this beautiful sunrise photograph this past weekend while we were at Leavenworth, Washington (USA). I hope this photograph inspires everyone to get outside, explore and take pictures, no matter what skill level or camera equipment you have. I did not take my camera equipment with me on this trip. Amazingly, I captured this photograph with an iPad – not too bad of a shot – especially since I had not had coffee yet!!!! Isn’t this a beautiful view!?!?!
It has been so hot here in the Pacific Northwest, that I have been doing most of my photography early in the morning, or late in the evening. Recently, I was able to capture a close-up of this sweet lily which was open for just one morning! If you look close, you can see how the bees have already spread the pollen among the petals. Isn’t this a beautiful flower!?!?!
I thought you might enjoy photographs from some of our past travels in Barcelona, Spain. While there we visited the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar. This is a breathtaking 14th-century Gothic style church. While standing in the center of the cathedral, I pointed my long lens straight up and was so fortunate to capture this amazing close-up of the cathedral’s ceiling hand painted wonders. Isn’t this an amazing piece of skillful artwork!?!?!
In Seattle, they say that summer starts July 5 (due to rain), but this year we have had unseasonably nice weather! We are taking a short sabbatical to enjoy these warmer summer days. My next post will be on July 24th. Please enjoy past photos in my slideshow – thank you for all your support!
We have had very favorable weather this spring in the Pacific Northwest, so I have been able to “dig in the dirt” and plant small flower gardens in our yard. One of the flowers I enjoy planting, is the Geranium, because I can ignore it, and still get great flowers! Aren’t these buds a brilliant color?!?!?!
Sometimes bulbs are difficult to grow in the Pacific Northwest because it is so damp and mild during the winter. One of my favorite bulbs is the Lilly, because I can completely ignore it and still get beautiful flowers! I was able to capture this great close-up of this incredible orange/fire Lilly. Wouldn’t it be great to have a whole basket of these beautiful flowers growing in the house?!?!?!
Ocean Shores Washington, USA, is a resort type coastal beach area, but it is also a haven for fishing and crabbing. I captured this great shot (while my tripod was sinking in the sand!) of local crabbers during a low tide. I can’t imagine standing in this very cold water – although I really appreciate the hard work of fishermen that catch crabs!! Isn’t this an interesting landscape?!?!?!
