We have some friends visiting, and one of them brought his D40 (which I used to have) so I took it for one of our neighbourhood walks and had a great time just having a small camera that is effortless to carry around with me all the time, and I took a whole bunch of fun photos!
This low-key hike on cougar mountain presented lots of beautiful pictures of trails:
Our destination was Coal Creek Falls, but the falls were entirely dry, though still picturesque.
We recently took a nice relaxing walk on Cougar Mountain on a sunny day; the verdant greens were so beautiful with the sun back-lighting them.
We went for a nice hike last weekend up to Wallace Falls which was really beautiful!
There were lots of amazing falls all the way up!
The area was logged in the early 20th century ; there were remnants of old huge redwood trees around, this one had lots of moss growing around.
This root was just beautiful coming up out of the ground.
More large trunks with lots of (relative) new growth:
There were lots of nice quiet babbling streams like this one:
While spending some time with my parents, I caught these two gorgeous roses from my mum’s garden:
And this lovely one was delicately hiding in the shade
This week marks the return of Art Walks to Wallingford, Seattle – on the first Wednesday of each month, participating businesses display local art, provide refreshments, and live music. My photography will be on display at Seattle Bank at 44th and Stone Way for this month’s Art Walk, and for the rest of the month of May. Come by and see! The art walk will be lots of fun!
During the month of April, some of my photos will be on display at Mighty-O Donuts! Come get a yummy vegan organic donut, delicious fair-trade coffee (I especially like the toddy coffee!), and look at my photos while you eat.
It was almost 60 degrees at 9pm last night, and the wind felt even warmer than that!
It was amazing.
There were even bees out in some of these beautiful flowers:
Probably not, but it sure felt like it today!
The air felt mild and smelled of springtime, and there were little flowers growing all around!
One block in particular had an overwhelming smell of flowers; it was wonderful!
Green Lake is a great place for many reasons, but the sunsets given over the water are frequently just amazing!
