Friday Miscellanies*
From my backyard to the Olympic Peninsula to the iconic Mt. Rainier.
*Will be in Scotland and Brooklyn over the next three weeks, so posting a variety of not so related images as my last post before departing.
Bouquet of Roses
A look at some roses from our yard this year.
Park Slope, Brooklyn
Taken a few years ago while I was visiting with my son and family. On the eve of the 10th anniversary of this photoblog I thought I would look back for a moment. This is a morning shot, with some fog in the background. The sidewalks were designed in another era, where there were fewer cars and more pedestrians.
Seattle Winter
I can’t take full credit for this photo. My wife took it after a night of snow. I’m guilty of plagiarism, sort of. I spiced up the photo a bit in PS Express.
Anyway, looking East from our deck, towards the Cascade Mts., which are not really visible.
Shy Hummingbird
I have a couple of hummingbird feeders just outside my backdoor. I can walk out and watch, without my camera, as the hummingbird partakes of the nectar I blend. If I bring my camera out and just wait, patiently, he/she will either not show up or hides on the backside of the feeder. You can just see his tail feathers in one of the images.
I’m determined to get a shot of this shy or perhaps, sly guy. He really does keep an eye on me while I’m watching him; he’ll stop drinking ( or whatever it is they do) and peek over at me. He’s really diligent about watching his surroundings.
Puget Sound
A ferry crossing the Sound.
Lincoln Park

Walking the dog.
