Playing with Light

Sunlight Patterns

 

A glass, a red water bottle and a bottle of maple syrup. A bright beam of sunlight striking them while they are sitting on a white counter top. Me with my camera. This is the result. And then playing with Photoshop and Nik Software plug-ins. Makes me a happy person. I feel like a happy kid playing at the beach on a sunny day.

Morning Fog on Lake Whatcom With a Twist

Afternoon Light in Bellingham

Sunrise Over Lake Whatcom

Took these this morning when I saw the glow reflected in my bedroom mirror. The top one was earlier. I puttered awhile and looked again and saw the bottom colors. Took a few more.

Shadows in the Kitchen

Rainbow Goodbye

After a lovely day of sun and cloud yesterday, a storm came blowing through. With it came rain illuminated by the last rays of the afternoon sun. A beautiful double rainbow formed. It seemed as if Bellingham were staging a farewell show for Ian and Jerien who were finally able to head home this morning. They ended up staying an extra ten days while they waited for the volcano dust to settle and the airports of Europe to reopen. They were so gracious about the wait. We were happy to have them here with us for four weeks. Bon Voyage friends.

Morning View

Standing at the kitchen sink, getting ready to feed the cats, I look out and see this. Sorry Cats, you'll have to wait a bit. Must grab my camera and take some photos first.

Perfect Beginning to a Beautiful Day

20th Anniversary Day

The light on the lake was amazing this morning. Arvin and I were looking out from the breakfast table as we wished each other "Happy Anniversary". It was 20 years ago today that Susan's father officiated at our wedding ceremony at my parents' house in El Cerrito. Amazing how time flies.

Morning Glow

This morning as I stood at the sink preparing the kitties' breakfast I noticed a sight I'd never seen before. The hills behind the lake were shrouded in fog but the sun managed to illuminate just the surface of the lake. Of course the cats had to wait while I grabbed my camera to catch the scene. Quickly the glow spread as the fog burned off. Eventually the cats did get fed and I got some amazingly beautiful photos of my favorite view.
