Serious Bout of Homesickness

We've all had those days where we feel a billion light-years from anyone.  That's the great thing about pictures - they can help remind us of great days past when we take just that moment.  Of course, that also opens the doors for a bit more hurt...in this case I am just very much missing the Pacific Northwest.  I imprinted on the Olympics as a child and it is amazing...the unfathomable hold the Puget Sound and Western Washington have on me.  I made the mistake of looking back through old phone pics, back up to maybe three to four years.  They aren't that great as the situations weren't always perfect but they sure help get the idea across.

Of course, on a happier note, I use phone pics to capture ideas for locations, framing and other artsy concerns.  This is one of the ways I find that which is uplifting when blue.  Please keep in mind these are phone images that have only been cropped a tiny and and/or rotated for presentation. 

Captions on bottom where I've written personal notes.  Enjoy. 

A shot I probably should not have attempted but had to.  ;o)

Stitch of four images for a pano of property I almost bought.  

Hiking up Mt. Ellinor with my sister Alice Ellinor

Bracelet shot on Mt. Ellinor

Quickie shot of the Sound toward The Olympics from an almost-daily walk to Sunset Park. 

I love the texture of the Sound's landscape...land, water, islands, foothills, mountains, and back again.

Evening on Bellingham Bay

Another shot west from Sunset Park

Elliot Bay and The Olympics from Seattle waterfront

Who doesn't love the view from Golden Gardens?  From Golden Gardens to Golden Gate, heh...first time I've thought of that.  

Tsawwassen Ferry to Nanaimo

Ucluelet - I so badly want to go back there!!!
