Moonstone: Blue

Last one! I loved the blue of the sky in this one.

Moonstone: Cold

Took this shot on the back of my car. It's pretty beat up with lots of scratches and dents, but I think it gives this shot some character :)

Moonstone: Black and White

Moonstone: Gravel

Placed the necklace on the gravel driveway...

Moonstone: Rock Wall

This is my favorite necklace. I decided to take it out into the yard and take some shots with it. There are several more to come.

Glass Float

Japanese fishing floats are an iconic symbol of coastal Alaska. This one is obviously fake, but still pretty :)

Sea Glass Orb

I love to collect sea glass and I avidly pick up any piece I find. I was fascinated to find an almost spherical white piece. Of course, I had to take several photos of it!

My 2nd HDR

Went back for the sunset on Thursday night. I think this one is fun :)

Tuesday on the Spit

Tuesday evening, C and I went out to the Spit for a while. On the way out, I looked over and saw an otter in the Inlet. I pulled over and started shooting away. He was close to the road, but not close enough for a great shot. Ah well, I tried :)

We spent a half hour at the harbor.

Seagulls are pretty obnoxious, but the ones at the harbor were not as afraid of humans, so I was able to get some close up shots of them.

This one's bill has a strange red spot on it!

Before we came home for the evening, we went to Mariner Park. There was this old car part on the beach, covered in barnacles. I think it turned out pretty cool! This is another shot I may have to put on my wall. I have some 8x10 frames that I could use and make a wall of miscellaneous things - like the rusty hook!

Tuesday Time at the Park

Tuesday, C and I went to the local park. I was gung ho about making this a photo shoot of us, much like I did at the beach with Lin last week. It was not meant to be, however. The park is a little less free feeling!

Little kids love to crawl through this thing.

It's a bit hard to do with a bulky camera, though, so I passed.

But C gladly obliged me!

This is a mural, made by a local class of kids, I think. It features sea creatures. I'm not really sure what happened to this, but it's all vandalism. It's pretty sad.

And lastly, I used to love these things!
