Making New Year’s resolutions is typically not my thing. But for 2016 I made a year-long commitment to take (at least) one photograph each day–a ‘365 Project.’ Some photographers give themselves “rules” for their 365–only shots of family, new technique each week or some other focus for their project. As for me: No rules. Just […]
Puget Sound
Seattle in the fog
The prairies are all right. The mountains are all right. The forests and the deserts and the clear clean air of the heights, they’re all right. But what a bewitching thing is a city of the sea. It was good to be in Seattle–to hear the foghorns on the Sound, and the deep bellow of […]

Life could be a dream: Puget Sound in the sunlight
I held my hand over my forehead to shield my eyes from the intense sunlight. Sunlight! And then I saw them, like mythical creatures walking on water. Paddleboarders. Where was I? Hawaii? I shook my head in disbelief. I was looking out over the water toward my very own Puget Sound. Life could be a […]

A lot to discover at Discovery Park
Seattle sits perfectly juxtaposed between mountain and sea, with Puget Sound weaving itself between the two. Discovery Park captures a bit of it all. The water, the mountains, and forest paths all in one spectacular setting.
