M-O-O-N

May 5, 2012 – “Super Moon” rising behind the Seattle skyline as viewed from Ursula Judkins Viewpoint near Magnolia. As we setup well before sunset, we weren’t sure we were going to get a shot of the moon low behind the city. Clouds on the horizon threatened to block our view. Fortunately a nice gap opened up and made for a suitably dramatic scene!

Signs of Spring

To celebrate the last weekend of Winter and the official start of Spring, I headed out to find cherry trees. I found a great spot in Des Moines, WA at the Landmark Event Center. They have a beautiful row of cherry trees in full bloom along the public sidewalk across the front of the property. Despite a few sprinkles of rain, I had a great time looking forward to Spring and putting the cold, gray Winter behind me!

Seahurst Sunset

Took advantage of a beautiful afternoon recently to shoot my first sunset of the new year. They may be cliche for photographers, but I just can’t resist a sunset. Especially not when they are so beautiful here in the Pacific Northwest.

That said, I’ll be happy when they aren’t happening at 4:30 in the afternoon!

A Blaze of Color

Fall colors are starting to hit their stride in Burien, WA’s Dottie Harper Park.
Now the challenge is to photograph them before the wind and rain strip the trees bare!
