Black & White Tuesday: 4-29-14
I haven’t posted a new Black and White Tuesday photo for a few weeks but after our Sunday afternoon hike around Deception Pass State Park I’ve got plenty of new photos ready to share. In the spring of 1792, Joseph Whidbey, master of HMS Discovery and Captain Vancouver‘s chief navigator proved that it was not…

Today’s Black & White Tuesday post is a view of Seattle’s EMP (Experience Music Project) Museum’s silver side. If you missed the pink side you can see it again here and stay tuned for blue coming soon…

I really hope this will be the last bare branches photo of our winter as April’s warmer air and longer days means it’s almost time for the Emerald City (Seattle) to live up to its nickname.

A fun moment around the International Fountain at the Seattle Center. This fountain, along with the Space Needle were designed and built as part of the 1962 World’s Fair and is a popular place to run, play and relax in all kinds of weather. The fountain sprays in varied patterns…

After a dreary week of foggy October days Ryan and I grabbed our warm coats and headed to the beach. Late afternoon brought us the first touch of light in days and just as the gray lifted a flock of birds rose from their perches at the Marina and flew out to sea.

The only reason I stopped to take this photo was because of how much I liked the leafless branches against a vibrant blue winter sky yet here I am on a black & white Tuesday removing all color. The original brown and blue palette was striking but after viewing it in monochrome I can really appreciate the organic structure of this great…

I have another summer beach photo for this mid-February entry in my Black and White Tuesday series. Ryan spent an hour filling his pockets with rocks for sling-shot ammunition while I relaxed on driftwood logs snapping pictures of the day.

This close view of a totem pole is from one of two popular 50 foot cedar poles at Victor Steinbrueck Park near the Pike Place Market in Seattle, WA. Seattle Architect Victor Steinbrueck is credited with spearheading the preservation movement to protect both the Market and Pioneer Square districts in the 1960’s and twenty years…

Since my last Black & White Tuesday post was all about holiday shopping and hot donuts I thought you might like to see our snack-time view looking over Seattle’s Westlake Park.

Black and White Tuesday: 1-21-14
It’s hard to miss this hot donut stand in Seattle’s Westlake Park, the bright colors and happy customers can be seen from blocks away. Ryan insisted we stop for a bag of our own during a December trip downtown and while his mouth was too full of donuts and sugar for a wordy review, two thumbs up and a smile said it…

This fun piece of public art is located on the Edmonds waterfront and features three generations of a family relaxing at the beach. A few months ago I posted a photo taken from behind the piece showing three of the family members watching the boats and waves. If you missed it the first time around here is a link to…

Winter trips on the Washington State Ferries offer some amazing photo opportunities if you have a warm coat and don’t mind some extremely cold wind. John, Ryan and I took a beautiful trip on the Edmonds – Kingston ferry a few days ago and I left the comfy, warm bench to explore the top deck and…

For my final Black and White Tuesday of 2013 I have a photo from Seattle’s Pike Place Market and a view down Lower Post Alley. My post yesterday mentioned the Market’s infamous gum wall and this image is as close as I was willing to go… Believe it or not…

We spent a fun few hours in Seattle Sunday afternoon watching A Christmas Carol at the ACT Theater and walking through the city looking at the holiday lights and decorations. I enjoyed our time together away from the usual weekend routines and I think Ryan’s favorite moments were “high-fiving” Scrooge at the end…

El Santuario de Chimayo Chimayo, NM We spent a beautiful June afternoon here walking through the grounds, viewing the art work and lighting candles for family members.

The days are getting shorter and shorter here in the Pacific Northwest and as I look out my window to nearly dark sky at 4:20 pm I thought this black and white image was a fitting choice for today’s post. The birds are still flying but the light is almost…

I missed my black and white post last week but Tuesday is here again and today I have a beachfront image from our stretch of fall fog a few weeks ago. The waterfront was surprisingly full of people but the heavy mist muffled all sounds and if I angled my view just right it…

Black & White Tuesday: 10-29-13
After spending a few dark days in a surprise stretch of October fog I stopped complaining about missing the fall color and blue skies and headed out to make the best of our gloomy weather. It was very quiet along the beach this afternoon and even though a Washington State Ferry was loading cars next to us the…

I am so happy that Ryan is a good sport when I ask him to sit still for pictures. Late last year I realized I forgot to schedule an appointment for our traditional Christmas Card portrait and a quick look at the calendar confirmed I missed every deadline to get them done professionally. This was a clear, sunny day…

I usually prefer my end of the day sun scenes in color but something about this photo with it’s bands of pure, bright light and white fluffy clouds spoke to me today.

Black & White Tuesday: 10-1-13
While John and Ryan shopped for our stone steps I had a great time wandering around the property taking pictures of the old farm equipment, tree art and bird houses. This one looks like a deluxe summer home but the boards across the front windows and black and white coloration make me…

I had a few minutes to walk along the beach Friday afternoon and happily spent them listening to this gentleman, in his white suit and hat, play a trumpet while facing the waves. There were several families around us enjoying the last hours of summer and just as I put my phone down two little girls ran up…

When I’m working from home Heidi is happy to nap outside the office door as long as she gets a short walk in the morning and a longer one in the afternoon. Yesterday was busier than normal though and our afternoon walk had to be postponed until later in the day. By 3:00 pm she let me…

Hiking in the Mt. Baker National Forest on a foggy summer day limited our views of the sky scraping mountain peaks but emphasized the beautiful rocks and landscape under our feet.

For today’s Black and White Tuesday post I thought it would be fun to experiment with the Hueless app on my iPhone. These piles of curvy driftwood caught my attention as Ryan led me down the beach with the rule that we could only walk on logs…no sand or rock steps allowed.

Black and White Tuesday: 8-27-13
For today’s Black and White Tuesday I have two more images of old farm equipment displayed outside the stone yard we visited a few weeks ago. John and Ryan had a great time searching through the stone choices for our new front yard steps while I wandered around the property taking pictures of their rusty, well used collections. Spread across…

The Santuario de Guadalupe was originally built as a church in Santa Fe, NM in 1777 and currently houses the Archdiocese of Santa Fe’s collection of New Mexican santos (carved images of the saints), Italian Renaissance paintings, and Mexican baroque paintings. Though it has been renovated several times The Santuario is the oldest,…
