Dream with me

wishing the weather forecast said sun. instead of rain. summer instead of spring. warm instead of cold. 

Let the Memories Begin

Some of my favorites from our trip (off the "real" camera)

Have you ever eaten at the Blue Bayou? I've always wanted to. You get on the Pirates of the Caribbean and just at the beginning of the ride you float by the Blue Bayou while people are enjoying their gumbo and mint julep. I finally got the chance to eat here when, on Friday night, we were completely exhausted and soaked to the bone. It had been raining all day (most rain they said they'd had all year! Lucky us). And, frankly, we just wanted somewhere warm to sit (I'm certain that's how Disneyland gets ya... $$). It's not something we will probably ever do again because the price probably won't be right a second time - but boooy was it worth it the first time around! The food was to die for! Best steak I've ever had! We were so distracted by the good food and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" onlookers that this is the only real photo I remembered to capture.

The rest of it... via iPhone.

Creation

I've recently discovered that with a 'semi'macro lens... the world is your oyster. By that I mean it opens up new possibilities for fun photography... Things I never would have thought to shoot have all of this sudden become interesting... Who would have thought I'd enjoy taking pictures of moss?

I am glad that the days I shot these photos - the park was relatively empty. I'd hate to think that as I was "tree-hugging" with my lens .5 cm from the trunk of the tree - that anyone would round the corner and wonder what in the world I might be doing... but I have said it once, I'll say it again... when you're bored photographer - no subject (or strange position for the photographer) is safe.

Happy Wednesday to you.

Titlow Beach

Once a week I travel the 5 miles north to Tacoma for a cello lesson and for the past couple of weeks the weather has been worth stopping for. I'd never been to this park before (that I can remember) but I knew I wanted to just drive until I found a clear view of the Narrows Bridge (both new and old)... I landed here at Titlow Beach and I never wanted to leave. These photos were nabbed with my iPhone. Now I know I need to get back there with my "real" camera... I can imagine this spot would be perfect in any weather.
