On Sunday early, I boarded a ferry in Edmonds, a short drive from our home, and sailed across the blue waters of Puget Sound to the magnificent Olympic Peninsula. There is something so romantic about a ferry ride, no matter where you are bound. One of our clients, Colette’s, is a magnificent B&B; nestled in a lush ten acre garden overlooking the sea on the northern end of the peninsula. We shot and produced a video for them last year and now have begun a new project.
Several lovely hours passed among the trees and birds, while I gathered both video and still images. The grounds are always glorious but the woodland garden at this time of year is especially peaceful and full of tiny wonders. It’s easy to imagine fairies dancing among them, isn’t it?
Much gratitude for your recent visits and wonderful comments. I especially have greatly enjoyed your reminiscences of special rooms and places that hold magical memories for you. Thank you so, so much! I appreciate you sharing them. My work is often very solitary, which I cherish, but I equally cherish knowing you exist – each one of you is very important to me!

ohhh those blue flowers are stunning!! it is really rare to see such beauties around and when i do, i love it! i really wanted some blue flowers in my bouquet and my MIL had the hardest time finding me the perfect blue flowers that she had to end up dying some flowers blue for me!
I'm amazed by your photographs, it seems that all the different flowers have their own character in the way they present themselves :)
Have a lovely weekend!

I can't believe how talented you are, Georgianna…these are stunning! Looking forward to our meetup and show. :)
I too love woodland flowers and you've captured them beautifully! I especially like the picture of the little blue flowers. I love how only a few are in focus. We sometimes take a ferry ride to the Lake Erie islands and then bike ride. Now I think I'm in the mood to take pictures of our wildflowers! Glad I stopped by.
Must have been a wonderful day G. I'll have to check out that place one day.
Beautiful post, you always brighten up my day!
delicate, graceful … I come here to breath :)
you certainly can imagine the fairies skipping from petal to petal, picking the flowers as hats! Very magical. Catherine x
Dear Georgianna,
The woodland flowers are so beautiful in their simplicity and also in their complexity. You have outdone yourself again and I know you will again and again.
These flower photos are beautiful but I am especially loving the ones of the boats. They look sos fresh summery.
I tried to leave a comment earlier but looks like it disappeared… Anyway, just wanted to say you're photos keep amazing me :)
Oh…Georgianna…these make me want to hop a jet and visit. Actually, we have family in Seattle, and I have seen for myself that all one must do to grow beautiful things in the north west is throw those seeds into the air, and they sprout and bloom before hitting the ground….smiles.
It's funny you should say that fairies live among these flowers, because they remind me of the flower fairy poems we used to read as kids. Many of them were illustrated wearing some of these flowers as little bonnets or clothing.

These images are absolutely gorgeous!! The flowers are so delicate and beautiful!! I'm in raptures again!! :))
Omigosh, that is truly a magical place! Lovely images, G! :)
My fiance just asked me what I was looking at. I turned the screen so he could see it and started scrolling through and cooed… "prettyyyyyy—–oooooo—–" Looking through these is like falling into a beautiful woodland faerie tale.
You are so sweet and appreciated immensely too!
Oh my! If I could do depth of field a fraction as good as you do it I'd be so proud of myself.
Utterly perfect images.
Ciao!
Oh this is like a fairy's paradise, so of course I love it!
I just know the fairy devas want to say thankyou for how wonderfully you capture the flowers they care for, and what justice your work does to the beauty of these flowers, and all the nature you photograph.
Once again their magic has been a soothing part of my day, thankyou G <3
Love kathryn xoxo
Ps I would have loved to have spent some hours amongst the flowers and trees here, but to have you go and share it through the photos and words is the next best thing,xx
