Nothing here to see. Nothing here except a man. And his castle. And his barn. And his field of cabbages. Looks like the crop out there is just about ready, too. Thde thing is, I think the more interesting thing was the colorful fields: It seems that the “back 40″ had cabbages of a slightly [...]
No, I am not referring to those three tenors. In this case, we are looking not at three trees, but at three branches of one tree that all connect at one trunk a couple of feet off the ground. There’s actually a fourth, not so obvious one in the foreground, too. The tree is doing [...]
As Summer wears on, a day can be perfectly sunny everywhere in Cascadia, but the last mile up to the beach can be very foggy. Blame it all on how the weather works at the coast, but you can never be guaranteed a sunny day at the beach. You will find, however, that no matter [...]
Pioneer Square is considered by many to be the “Birthplace of Seattle” sitting in the place where many of the region’s original pioneers set up shop cutting into the forests and operating the sawmills that built what was to become the City of Seattle. The site is a central meeting place in the South end [...]
Fly. Be Free. Be free to fly anywhere within the range of your species. Enjoy the beautiful day. Enjoy the sky. Look down at the world, while the world looks back at you. Open your wings, but don’t care who sees you. Look for fish. Look for french fries. Just be the bird. Photo: Taken [...]
Just remember: If it quacks like a duck, and it floats like a duck, then it must be a seagull! Here, seagulls are acting like ducks next to Pier 54 in Elliott Bay in Seattle. The Seattle Fire Department fire boat Chief Seattle sits just beyond. Yes, the day was very sunny and the water [...]
Whether you are a seagull (Larus occidentalis) or a human (homo sapiens), there are two reasons to visit Pier 54 in Seattle. One is that both the human and the seagull are very fond of Ivar’s fish & chips, which coincidentally is available right there on Pier 54. While the humans prefer their fish & [...]
So, at some point in time, I took a picture of a windmill that was sitting in a park in Oak Harbor. I don’t quite remember why there was a windmill in a park in Oak Harbor, but I thought it was time for a windmill. Because it was there. And because it’s a nice [...]
I have had a somewhat difficult time finding a vantage point where I can take a photo of all of Portland’s Union Station at one time. The placement of the rail lines and the bridge overpasses just make it difficult. On the other hand, there are so many nice parts of the building that I [...]
I took a few photos today at the Union Station in Portland, as I was dropping off a friend there for her journey on the Coast Starlight. The sign said “Men At Work” yet there was not a lot of actual work going on during this afternoon when the high temperature is in the vicinity [...]
