Japanese Pink Pealback

Japanese Pink Pealback

I spent a good 3-4 hours at Buchart Gardens the other day, and if you want my opinion, without the rose garden in bloom, the Japanese gardens is by far the best section of the whole thing.  I kind of wish I didn’t toss out the flower finder guide so I knew what this one was called.  Anyone know?  For now I’m calling it the Japanese Pink Pealback.  I gotta be close right?

This fence was built around the tree, which was great since it was a beautiful tree.

Where we’re going, Where we’ve been

Going and Been

Driving around Victoria, we stopped to take a photo… this post of looking out in the water while the dog is looking back kind of makes me think about people moving forward, and dogs just wanting routine.  Shot with my LensBaby.

Red Railing

Red Railing On the Scenic Drive around the sound of Vancouver Island, there is a great stop to take photos.  While everyone else was shooting the ocean, I turned around and snapped this bright red fence.  The “tilt-shift” comes from my LensBaby.

Spring in Seattle

Space Needle

Seeing as I’m in Seattle this week, I felt this picture appropriate.  After you’ve got about 100 shots of the Space Needle, you start looking around the Space Needle, and the clouds really drew me to this one.

Get it off!

Get if Off!

While at the Chihuahua meet-up this past weekend, Chico was harassed by a puppy named Henry, and the look on his face is priceless.  Truth be told though, Chico would see any other dog off that came near Henry… so I think they are friends.

While walking around the Vancouver Public Market on Grandville Island, this gentleman had a few things for sale, and he looked content just sitting in the middle of it all.

Where is Spiderman?

Where is Spiderman?

My last visit to Chicago, I saw this L-Train speeding by and captured it mostly sharp, while blurring the background.  Looking at it after I shot it, it reminded me of the L-Train that Spiderman chased and stopped in Spiderman 2 vs Doctor Octopus.

While taking an Argosy cruise from Lake Union to the Puget Sound, this old boat was just resting at one of the docks, I’m surprised it was still floating.

Spring is finally here, we have rain, we have green, we have blooming, and we have sun (the odd day).
