A Word A Week: Square
It would be nice to have some beautiful travel photos to share for this challenge, maybe a wonderful meal in a town square, a row of interesting windows, or even some funny signs but the school year has started and my “square” experiences are now limited to picking up shoes and perhaps mowing the grass… Posted…

Weekly Travel Theme: Hidden
Every time we walk past the window of this empty shop space Ryan says “look, there’s Olive Oyl. You know, from Popeye.” When I finally realized he was talking about the group of toys I wondered how I had missed her in the crowd. Now I see her bright red top every time. I think she is…

Weekly Photo Challenge: An Unusual POV
Challenge yourself to rethink your ideas about what subjects are appropriate, and then challenge yourself again to find an unusual perspective on your subject. Lynn Wohlers – Photography 101 post on Point of View I’ve always been fascinated by street photography and as a kid spent countless summer days laying on…

A Word A Week: Pink
Sue’s last word of the week was Pink and yes, I know, I’m a little late with this one. Over the next few days I hope to catch up with the recent posts waiting in my draft folder – starting with the word Pink. Though I am not usually a…

Phoneography Monday 9-2-13
My last week of summer here in the Pacific Northwest has been filled with long days working on our landscaping project but I did take an afternoon off to visit some favorite locations looking for fall planting inspiration. This view is from one of the many of flower beds at Marina Park along the Edmonds waterfront.…

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…

Travel Theme: Play
This simple slingshot has been our “go to” toy of the summer. It travels everywhere with Ryan, tucked into his back pocket, along with a few small pebbles ready to fire whenever we are in a location that is wide open and away from windows. I love that his first choice for play…

iPhoneography Monday 8-19-13
I take a lot of pictures with my phone every week. Not only do I find images everywhere that look interesting, I frequently shoot the same subject with more than one camera app to learn more about which settings I like in different conditions. I have previously posted photos from these two locations below…

Travel Theme: Big
Visiting National Forests, travelling around the Pacific Northwest and taking lots and lots of pictures with family are some of my all time favorite activities. It is also fun to share our world with WordPress and in the past few months my Dad started his first blog and my sister began her second.…

Travel Theme: Architecture
The Ganahl-Hanley log cabin was built in the Seaview neighborhood of Edmonds by Gaston Ganahl. Mr. Ganahl fell in love with the guest cabins at Yellowstone Park and in 1930, hired the builder who oversaw their construction to come to Edmonds and build his dream home. All materials for the cabin came from the land surrounding the…

Black and White Weekly Challenge: Texture
For the current theme of Texture over at Sonel’s Corner I have one more image to share from my walk last week. These tree branches looked so pretty arching over a stone wall that Ryan and I both stopped in the shade to take a few pictures before continuing down the steep hill to the…

Phoneography Monday: Nature
In the middle of a very busy week filled with excavators, concrete mixers and dump trucks Ryan and I escaped for a walk to clear our heads and breathe a little fresh air. These two photos are of a small creek that runs along the bottom of our hill and were…

Phoneography Monday: 7-29-13
Walking along the beach is one of my favorite things to do on a Sunday afternoon and yesterdays visit was picture perfect. Edmonds has several waterfront parks open to the public 365 days a year and most of them display quirky, fun pieces of public art in unexpected locations. It doesn’t…

Phoneography Monday 7-22-13
A little over two years ago our house was robbed and though the thieves emptied my jewelry boxes they left the glass dish shown above. I’m sure it looked like nothing to them but it means a lot to me as I brought this piece home from my Grandparents house after their memorial. It sits quietly on the top of my…
