Photo Friday: Pike Place “Down Under”

You’d think I’d be tired of posting Pike Place pics … but no. I recently started using a new photo editing program, so in an effort to begin to master it, I decided to play around with the pictures I took on the two lower levels of Pike Place Public Market last weekend. For those … Continue reading »

Pike Place in the Spring

Okay, insecurities mentioned in yesterday’s post, aside … … today you get to see some of my own photos of Seattle’s famous Pike Place Public Market. They aren’t quite as artistically skewed as the Boy’s were, but I think they give you the beginning of an idea, of how lovely and interesting a place The Market is … Continue reading »

Yes! It’s that time again. The step-chittlin’s are out of school for Spring Break and with us for the week.

Spring is here!!! Finally!

This past weekend Husband and I took advantage of a much-needed sun break, down at the Chittenden Locks near our home in Magnolia.While most of the plants are still laying low, waiting for the storms to pass, I did find a few early risers. So on this first official day of Spring, here’s a sampling of what I found … Continue reading »

St. Patrick’s Day Shamrocks

Because it’s St. Patrick’s Day … … and because we had a long break in our cold, snowy, rainy weather which required that we enjoy the afternoon’s fluffy white clouds and frigid sunshine … … and because the corned beef had hours to go … … we took a walk. We headed to the nearby Chittenden Locks … Continue reading »

Photo Friday: A Good Meal

Another Friday, another photo … Recently I’ve been focusing on trying to improve my food photography (no, I am not planning to be a food blogger/photographer). See, the thing is, cooking and eating are a large, important part of my life. I cook most days, and I do it fairly well for a home-cook. And I’d like … Continue reading »

Photo Friday: Almost-Spring Blossoms

Photo Friday: Almost-Spring Blossoms

In keeping with yesterday’s Spring on the Verge post, I thought I’d post a few pictures of Spring already showing up in the Washington Arboretum. Soon I will have hundreds of these photos (don’t worry, I won’t post them all), but for today I only have a couple of pictures of pretty pink blossoms.

Hope you enjoy this little taste of spring! Continue reading »
