It's Begun!

This is a very exciting day for me. Remember that project idea I said I had a couple weeks ago? Today's photo represents the first concrete step forward in making it a reality. This is Bryan at the Sandpebble - a fun gift shop in Friday Harbor. He graciously agreed to allow me in to shoot photos of him and his store. I apologize I can't say more about it yet - need to have a few more days like today before I can unveil it. So.... there will be more on this soon, but for now... Waaahoooo! It's rolling!

Kayak Droplets

Almost an abstract one for today. Not quite, but almost. This is the bottom of Shannon's kayak as it sits in our back yard on sawhorses, waiting to be sanded for a fresh coat of varnish. We had a bit of rain so the varnish will have to wait.

The Landing

Here's another shot from last night's little excursion down to the waterfront. This time, looking away from that sunset toward Spring Street Landing.

Port Sunset

I looked outside just before sunset and said, "Honey, let's run down to the port and shoot a photo!" Well, you know me - about 134 frames later, I came up with something. Luckily, she got a chocolate ice cream and rather than being bored and impatient with me, she said "No worries - I'm golden".

I'm pretty sure that's why photographers call it Golden Hour.

Roche Harbor Resort

Roche Harbor Resort on Memorial Day Weekend. This was shot during the Colors ceremony - their daily retiring of the colors (taking the flags down) at sunset.

Nut Brown

Mmmmmm mmmmm good! We discovered a new treat today at the grocery store. Red Hook Nut Brown Ale. It's one of Red Hook's seasonal brews. Good stuff to start the Summer off right. And another treat, Marketplace's own chicken bratwursts, boiled up in... can you guess?.... That's right - Red Hook Nut Brown Ale. What a glorious day!

Wheelbarrow

It was a gorgeous day today and we're hoping for more of the same tomorrow so we can get outside and play in the backyard. We might be putting this old boy to work hauling some dirt around to make a raised-bed garden. Or we may just sit there on our patio and relax and think about hauling dirt around.
