You can’t walk 10 feet without stopping to…

You can’t walk down any street in Portugal without taking a picture of tile or ornate doorways and windows. A mixture of charming, old world, and fun.

Furry (and feathery) encounters

I continue to edit my photos from Portugal. My intention, I think, is to just roll out small sets of themes or places to share because there are just too many. Here are a few I wanted to share of the furry and feathery friends that crossed our paths.

Urban landscape

The Federal Courthouse in Seattle seems to draw me in every time I pass it. It’s obviously planned environmental and architectural landscaping, but I find it to be lovely. My favorite time of the year to be here is actually during the summer. There is plenty of room for people to sit and enjoy lunch. The steps in […]

Framed

I saw this painted on the front of The Indoor Sun Shoppe. I think I was into obstructed views on this particular afternoon. I wanted to take this like I was actually seeing this woman standing in her natural environment. The plastic chair kind of messes up that illusion, though, doesn’t it?

Searching

Searching Seattle (Fremont), Washington February 2, 2016 Believe it, or not, I’ve never seen Casablanca (gasp!). With that said, being a consumer of television and film, I’m thinking I can at least guess that this was a relationship between Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman’s characters that was difficult to have. In this photo, you can assume that Bogart and […]

This is a bookstore.

Last May, my husband and I traveled to Portugal for 10 short days (Side note: In my opinion, if you’re coming from the U.S., 10 days is not long enough to explore anywhere outside of the States). On our last leg of the trip, we ventured to Porto to visit my friend Gail, who showed us around […]

Phil – A short study

While watching the Seahawks take a substantial beating in the first half of this past Sunday’s game, I distracted myself from the horror by taking some photos of a leaf. It’s from our philodendron plan we named Phil. It’s pretty much how I felt that entire first half.

Free form Friday

Today, I felt inspired to either sketch or paint. I’m not really any good at either. When I opened up my pad of newsprint. I found some cutouts I’ve used for collages, and one was sitting on top of some ink marks (I think I was trying a pen nib). I thought it looked cool and wondered if […]

Sunny days chasing the – clouds away

I got out for a change and went on a walk last week. Good times. Enjoyed the sun and time alone with my camera 🙂

3 of 4: “Be water, my friend.”

I’m getting ready to hang some of my work at a local coffee shop for the month of February. Everything was going swimmingly. I had business cards designed, I’m working on my Artist’s Bio, and picked out two sets of photos I think would work well in the space. The first set of photos are a […]
