Summer Blooms

Not sure how many years it has been... five now? Six??? I have been helping my mom set up for the best one-day fair in the Northwest... The Silvana Fair. Some years I am up there Wednesday, Thursday & Saturday for set-up/clean-up, but this year I decided to keep the road rage stress down a bit and just go on Thursday.

I have a secret.

I like to go on Thursday because that is the day people bring in their gorgeous flowers. I adore the evening light that streams through the high windows of Viking Hall, and can't resist to take a few frames every year.






These were all taken in auto mode with my little canon point & shoot. not too shabby. Thanks for taking a look!

Quick trip to Coupeville

The month of August is a bit of a blur to me... I remember it being sunny... or at least that is what I recall from the view in my living room. I was trying to be home as much as I could to socialize my new little kitty, Comet. What was I thinking... getting a new pet during the primo summer weather? Oh well... next year?

I did manage a short day trip with DMA to Coupeville. We arrived a little late for too much exploration, so I only captured a few pics...





Aaaah, summer. Thanks for taking a look!!

Third Beach. Sigh.

So a few weeks ago I had the brilliant idea of going to Third Beach. Unfortunately, the timing just wasn't *quite* right. I had to work Friday, had plans on Sunday, so really just had Saturday for an adventure. Note to self: don't try to go alllll the way to the Northern Washington coast with just one day. It was a lovely destination, and a much needed quick road trip... its just that my photos from the day are, well, are kinda... blah.

Thanks for taking a look!
