Raindrops on the Window

Because the sun never shines for long during spring in the Inland Northwest.

Panning

Panning Experiment #2, a photo by Sandee4242 on Flickr.

I did a series of these shots just after I got home from work. I wanted to be outside because the sun was shining and I wanted to shoot something moving. The street out front provided ample opportunity.

This is not the best shot of the bunch - I got some where the vehicle was much clearer. But I liked this one best because the tires look like Slinkys. Remember Slinkys?

Winding Road

Winding Road a photo by Sandee4242 on Flickr.

We have had a very unspringlike start to our spring. We've had snow, mixed snow & rain and hail. We've had below-normal temperatures and grey, dismal skies.

So yesterday, when the clouds parted and the sun shone through, just as I was leaving work, I decided to stop & get Scott and go for a drive. I just wanted to find something (anything!) pretty to shoot. I found it.

We drove west, then north, on a road that was paved at first, then dirt. And ended up here. I wanted to drive down that road, even in my little sports car that's not meant for off-road driving. While we were parked, we even saw a hawk. The stands of trees were everywhere, standing sentry in their perfect rows. We never did figure out what they were for. I don't suppose it even matters.

Celtic S Tattoo

Celtic S Tattoo a photo by Sandee4242 on Flickr.

It's not easy to take a photo of your own ankle.

I got this tattoo in August of 2006. It marked the end of one journey and the beginning of another. The celtic knot inside the S reminds me of where I came from and where I'm going.

Perigee Moon

My shot of the super moon. Because of clouds, I couldn't see it rise - so this is from 5am. It was foggy out - the photo is less sharp than I would like.

Snow Angel

Snow Angel a photo by Sandee4242 on Flickr.

This is what spring looks like in the Inland Northwest. After a couple of days of warmer, drier weather, we woke up to this.

I took a couple photos of the snow on the antenna ball. I picked this one for the post of the day because of the snow angel flying above the ball. Can you see it?
