Taken this morning with the sun lighting up these lanterns on the hydrangea walk. I’d put them up the day before as props for a “secret garden” photo shoot I was setting up, as requested by my English photo rep. As I was walking around the garden this morning, the light was about to come through the upper gate and I thought I’d shoot it once more, even though I had done so yesterday. And then it occurred to me that maybe I could catch the sun lighting the lanterns (which are just paper, with no light inside). And, Voilá! It worked!
A repeat of last night’s moon bath in the middle of the night, a quarter moon this time, around 3 am. Then a lovely clear sunrise at 6.
Gorgeous day, totally clear, not a single cloud in the sky or horizon. D and I spent the morning at Sea Tac Dahlias taking photos. Wonderful place.
This afternoon, took Mom and Les for a drive around Shilshole Marina (crowded!), to look at an incredible house on the water with a 180 degree view:
Then over to the Elliot Bay Marina to see where Davey’s friend has his boat moored. Another gorgeous location with the masts of hundreds of upscale boats in beautiful blue water, framed by Rainier in the background.
Seattle was sparkling all day, wherever we went!
Badminton: D: 38 matches G: 38 matches
Wildlife: Birds going crazy chirping this morning. Never heard anything like it. All the birds. I recorded some of it.
