Sunrise – Leavenworth, Washington, USA

Sunrise - Leavenworth, Washington, USA

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!?!?!  

Ocean Shores, Washington, USA

Ocean Shores, Washington, USA

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?!?!?!

Although the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival is winding down, I couldn’t resist sharing one more photo of the beautiful tulips I captured earlier this month. My sweet husband spotted this single “loner” red tulip hiding in the millions of yellow tulips. He is very observant as this shot was almost fifty feet away from us! Aren’t these tulips incredibly beautiful?!?!?

Mt Rainier, Washington, USA

Mowich Lake is a lake located in the northwestern corner of Mount Rainier National Park in Washington State at an elevation of 4,929 feet. Although the main road to the lake was closed for the season, my husband persevered dodging huge potholes in our truck off-road. And we were rewarded with this amazing area to view Mt. Rainier and have a picnic! Isn’t this view absolutely breathtaking?!?!?!?!?!

The Monte Carlo Casino, officially named “Casino de Monte-Carlo” is located in Monaco and first opened in 1863. And if you are a James Bond fan, you will remember seeing him making his grand entrance in several different movies! During our quick visit here, I was very lucky and made $10 on a slot machine!! Isn’t this an incredible architecture!?!?!?!
