Wandering around Seattle

I spent Wednesday driving around Seattle. Headed to West Seattle with a double espresso at Cafe Ladro in mind, but got distracted by the fog bank on Elliot Bay. I stopped along Alki and watched a container ship arrive, accompanied by a bunch of tug boats.

Next I headed for Fisherman’s Terminal. Walking the docks is fun and provides plenty of photographing opportunities. Too bad it was windy, a calm day is much better for reflection shots.

My final stop was the Arboretum, a great place for wandering around. I wish I’d had a canoe since the water lilies were blooming and the island is closed to foot traffic for repairs.

Wildflowers around DC

I’ve been making my way through the hikes in 60 Hikes within 60 Miles: Washington DC, mostly the ones closest to DC so far. I photo things that catch my eye, most often flowers along the trail. Here are a few that I’ve seen so far this spring:

Jazz Fest in New Orleans

Here are a few photos from the trip. I’ll look through the phone cam shots next and post any good ones I find.

Grand Cayman trip photos

We took a trip to Grand Cayman at the end of February. We’d last been there about ten years ago. It didn’t seem all that different, maybe a couple more hotels along the beach, and there was more traffic than I remembered.

We went on a guided nature walk on the Mastic Trail. I was amazed at the variety of wildlife we encountered, but only managed to photo a slow-moving dove and unmoving tree frog.
