It is an absolutely spectacular weekend in Seattle, with temperatures hovering in the upper 80′s, and not a cloud in the sky. I made a quick jaunt up to Kerry Park on Queen Anne Hill for this skyline shot. Mount Rainier was an especially striking backdrop.

I was experimenting with some new lenses on my DSLR today by the bay. At least there was a strong breeze out there to cool things down.

It was a beautiful day out today, and the flowers are all in bloom. I managed to catch this little honey bee in mid flight in my front yard.

I have water lilies planted in my fountain, and they’ve started to bloom this weekend. Here’s a close-up of the first full bloom.

Just got a digital SLR. I’ve always wanted to, but the trip to Durango and Mesa Verde was a good excuse to take the plunge. Here’s a shot I took on the Durango Silverton Railroad with my Canon EOS30D.
