Because I am posting this several days after the fact and I'm a poor note keeper with I'm photographing, the morning and evening have all run together on me. Some of these are shot in the morning and some in the evening so there is no coherent theme today. Just restful images.
One sunrise, we got some dramatic clouds in the east over Seattle. With the Indianola pier to our east, I was able to get some dramatic silhouettes of the folks on the pier and the clouds above.
It seems that everyone in western Washington loves to go boating. Even this Great Blue Heron is getting into the act by find a perch on a bit of floating debris.
As the sun was setting, I was able to get a couple interesting images due to some small breaks in the clouds letting in a little of the sun set colors.
While practicing my landscape composition skills, I got this image of the Indianola pier with a healthy bit of the rocky beach in the foreground. As you can see the PNW meaning of "beach" is not the same as that of a southerner. Even at low tide on a "proper beach" such as those found along the southern Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico in the US, there is still sand.
See, I've pulled a Scotty maneuver (think Star Trek) where I told you I'd miss a few days but then I managed to get back and process images fast enough to not have a break at all. As Scotty says, "Never tell the captain how long it will really take. Tell him longer so you look good when you finish early!".
Low tide comes in the afternoon at the moment and I has able to get out on the beach and grab a few shots as the evening light slowly faded. In the image above, we are looking more or less over Discovery Park to see the tops of the few tallest buildings in Seattle. It just so happens that there is a little sun leaking through the clouds at this moment.
Here’s a rare photo of me! I’m out taking photos and Seth is taking a photo of me from the house. Also blogging this from my iPad is a pain. Thought I’d just pass along this tidbit to keep the ball rolling.
