An adult doing this just looks ridiculous, but a child is beautiful.

I love it when I can capture innocence, wonder and amazement of children.

Day 148 of 365

It's nice to get a little blue sky and sunshine.

Getting low into the beach grass got me a nice silhouetted foreground and some sand in my shorts.

Day 147 of 365

Tonight my amazing talented daughter painted this wonderful self portrait of herself.

Mommy helped her move other artwork around and find a magnet to support the masterpiece.

While all the leaves are new and beautiful, the one in the center seemed amazingly perfect against the lush canopy above.

Day 145 of 365

This is the view I see everyday as the weathered PSNS workers, without concern for their own safety and obviously without an understanding of basic physics, stride almost unconsciously into the road as drivers of cars speed toward the ferry they are most certainly late for.

I also made it a cool tilt-shift.

You can just smell the fresh mint, can't you?

Day 143 of 365

Way up in the pine tree the new branches are beginning to emerge.

Eventually they will be shed and track all throughout my house.

Loved the way the water was dripping from this fountain in my parents garden.

Day 141 of 365

Headed over to Seattle for an Art Festival at 6:00 a.m. Saturday morning. The ferry ride was that perfect morning for photos, but I didn't have my DSLR. Bummer.

I had to get creative with a small point and shoot.

Day 140 of 365

Been thinking about the Cadillac Margarita for days. Nothing like a lot of alcohol to smooth out the rough spots in the week.

Sorry no parrots this time.

Crossroads

Day 139 of 365

On a trip to a friends house in Seabeck my GPS was showing a road coming up named "Bryan". I knew I needed to stop and take my picture for the day there.

To my surprise It was the crossroads of "Gross" and "Bryan", WTF.

I'm not sure how to feel about this.

The sun was setting and casting a wonderful glow on these purple bell flowers.

What a wonderful day! No coat needed.

Nice day to walk down by the fountains at lunch and take some pictures of a feather floating by.

Boring!

Day 135 of 365

Trying to be creative with a spilled box of crackers and a kid comes along a reaches in to eat your composed photo.

Valuable lesson learned.

Blowing Color

Day 134 of 365

I believe that children see bubble blowing as a magical moment. Once the bubble begin to emerge from the wand they are completely mesmerized by the bubble. The whole world around them becomes black and white and the bubbles are vivid colors.

Buddha's Butt

Day 133 of 365

Leaving Oregon today was a sad event. Thankfully I remembered to get a picture, or maybe a few, of the Buddah out front of McMenamins Edgefield.

I couldn't just settle on one photo and I wanted to put the Butt into some context.

Beads On A Clover

Day 132 of 365

On a nice early morning hike to the top of Multnomah Falls in Oregon we came upon an amazing patch of huge clovers. Only a few had morning dew on them, but then I saw this one. Perfectly posing with four dew drops located at the ends of the leaves and one in the center.

As an Irishman, I consider myself lucky just to have seen this, let alone get a photo.

Vine Wall Window

Day 131 of 365

There are many great things to see on the grounds of McMenamins Edgefield in Oregon. The standout for this day was this window peering through a wall of lush vines.

What you can't see in this photo is the amazing reading garden at the base of the wall. Brilliantly beautiful.

Gardening 101
If I want the color to stay I must hit it with a little spray.

Day 129 of 365

I was going through some things in the garage and came across some old negatives of photos my father took. I realized that we not only share an interest in photography, but also in subject matter.

Can that be inherited?

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Mother's in my life, but most of all the one that gave me life!

Day 127 of 365

Went for a little photo walk around Seabeck State Park this afternoon and a friend pointed out this heart that was embedded into a cobblestone wall.

Very cool artistic touch to an already beautiful wall.

Day 126 of 365

My daughter was playing with a flashlight in the pantry and I noticed how I could see her through the louvers. I grabbed the camera and took this shot as she stared at me.

It's a little Creepy.

Green Spiral

Day 125 of 365

I have always wanted to capture one of natures spirals, known as a golden spiral or logarithmic spiral. Finding them is a problem for me, I never seem to be able to remember to look or just fail to see.

I saw one today and captured it. Maybe it will be easier from here on.

Day 124 of 365

In a podcast I was listening to this morning, the host was discussing how light affects all objects differently and tasked listeners with looking for the light in obscure places. This evening I remembered that as the sun set into the stained glass of this little garden ornament.

It's fun to look at the world in new ways.

Day 123 of 365

Playing for a few minutes outside with my daughter we noticed some young ferns beginning to unfurl their fronds. I explained her how these plants have been around for millions of years, but she just ignored me and ran away. A stark reminder that she is only three.

I caught this unique slicing of a bell pepper as my wonderful wife was preparing one of my favorite dinners. Chili!

Day 121 of 365

After a full day of busting our asses on yard work, my wife recommended we pick up some beer. That was simply the best idea I had heard all day.
