poetry, prose, and photography
the sun’s descent
behind the mountains
into the sea
I took this photo at Marina Beach, along the Edmonds waterfront earlier this week. It’s one of my favorite place on earth.
Shot with my Samsung S9, I’m quite amazed at the quality of images that I get from my phone. I also wonder how much better my photos would be if I used a better phone, or, egads, an actual camera.
sunset in Edmonds
cold wind blowing from the west
brilliant colors sing
sunlight descending
engulfed in the water’s depths
walking to the south
looking westward
cold air upon my face
spring begins
I’ve been using Canva for a lot of my photo editing lately, mainly since I do a lot on my Samsung S9. Since I’m spending a lot of time in front of my computer right now, it seems like a good reason to open up Photoshop and play in there. A quick little piece to show I remember how to use it.
the wind blowing cold
painful to fingers and face
sun upon the mountains
winter’s skies return
sun obscured by dark rain clouds
spring’s grace is quite near
Winter’s sunlight falls
Boldly matching across sand
Kingfisher glides past
Some afternoon tea
Combined with a tasty lunch
Spring’s not quite here yet
Enjoying a lite bite at Edmonds’ Red Twig. A lovely cafe with tasty food, lovely coffee and a good selection of teas, it’s a favorite stop for many of our neighbors.
A light mist outside
Delightfully warm within
My grandfather’s voice
My grandparents started coming to Edmonds’ Pancake Haus when it opened, and remained faithful customers til the end. My wife and I go somewhat regularly, enough that the staff recognize our son and ask about him. This connection brings me joy.
Do have any place with similar connections?
Along the water
Feeling the grace of motion
Rippling light waves
