The second day in Seattle started with a walk through Volunteer Park after delicious bagels at Eltana! The conservatory was small but in full bloom/growth!

My first full day in Seattle took us on an epic walk from the apartment in Ballard, to the Locks, into Discovery Park through various ecosystems (lush woods, fields of tall grass, bluffs overlooking the Puget Sound and down onto the beach) and eventually back to the apartment. We walked for three and half, almost four hours.

These are some images from the beach on the Shilshole Bay in the Puget Sound with the Olympics in the background! It was a beautiful sunny day, very unSeattle and low tide was extremely low so we were able to walk along the rocky beach around the point and almost all the way back to the Locks.

We spotted several star fish and anemones along the way!

magnified world

The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnified world in itself.

instagramin’

I know, Instagram, it’s all the rage! But it IS just a quicker version of what I am doing here: a visual diary of sorts, a photographic journal. I’m really diggin it and I don’t care of it’s hip!

Here are some of the things I’ve been looking at…

wall shadows

SABourne_wallshadowI wake to the sun seeping through the kitchen windows, reaching everything in it’s path. Patterns form on the walls. I drink coffee. The day begins.

I cherish the morning.

1st significant snowfall of the year (only a few inches) but it was beautiful and quiet. I saw a few deer on my walk prancing through the woods, they too, were enjoying the quiet. Happy New Years Eve.
