Well, it's become a personal mid-winter tradition at this point, albeit a couple weeks late -- unlike the groundhog's annual prediction of pessimism (six more weeks!), my annual pic represents the cherry blossoming of hope for better, warmer days ahead; seeing all the buds breaking out and letting us know the possibilities of growth and new beginnings remains just around the corner; the days when you cannot bear to sit at your desk one more second and find any reason to bail in order to enjoy the warmer, sunnier outdoors (beating traffic home is also completely valid -- top down, of course). It's the home stretch, folks. #SpringBloom #SpringIsComing #PNW #CherryBlossoms #PacificNorthwest #PNWSpring #flowers #BlossomWatch #BlossomTree #photography #SpringInSeattle #SpringDays #AlkiBeachSeattle #WestSeattle https://www.instagram.com/p/Co87WOWLCMF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The ephemeral cherry blossoms along the river always draw a crowd.

I guess it’s worth the April showers! ☔️ #pnwspring https://instagr.am/p/Cq_4KMWJZtb/

Nice beginning to the week with Mount Rainier very visible. Looks like we will be seeing a lot of the mountain icon all week long. . . *** #bringonthesun #mountains #pnwspring #thebackyard #mtrainier #rainier #goodweatherahead (at Beautiful West Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/COs7l1tNZC1/?igshid=1e2mafoi6jz3f

Enjoy some pics from our daily (physically distant from other human) walks in honor of Spring springing lately, and of course, happy Earth Day 💕🌿 #pnwspring #earthday🌎 (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_TiX6OFHq3GD1VHLGOguoBIZogSQCJmwfIFmY0/?igshid=1mqwnslmilfpc

Good things come in small packages and the PNW native violets are a testament to that saying. These tiny beauties sometimes carpet several square feet of the forest floor under the right growing conditions which seem to be a perfect mix of moisture and sunlight. Very Goldilocks lol. Unfortunately, their proud yellow bloom is short lived so you have to enjoy them quickly or else have a fond appreciation for their foliage durning the rest of their perennial cycle. #viola #pnwviola #groundcover #forestfloor #pnwspring #forestfloorflowers (at Duvall, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwdudcClCQ8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6v6ufividebj

As spring starts peeking through the cold PNW mornings, I love seeing the colors of life returning to it's active self. #springhassprung #pnwlife #pnwspring #firtree #colorsofspring (at Port Townsend, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwR-2O-FI02QMdfpiIf_JvQaTAHshKB6lXAMlg0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k0m5ribz5s9w

Rainy beach days at Seaside.

Are you outside “yarning” too? (aka knitting or crocheting) Getting in some fresh air and sunshine before the 100% rain forecast starts again 😜 Found I can get a picture of Abbi dog if she doesn’t see it coming from below lol. Otherwise she always looks away as if I’m pointing towards something 😂🤣 As you know Sabbath is my day off from knitting orders and sale items so it’s the perfect opportunity to finish up a throw blanket for the house. Love the feel of yarn, the slow rhythm and quiet time for thoughts. #creativespace #crochet #yarning #sunnymoment #pnwspring #oregongirl #happiness #happysabbath (at Salem, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdRpVadp0zj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Its my favorite time of the year again, when I can sit & smoke on my balcony because at 9pm its still in the high 60s to low 70s 😎😎😎

After grabbing a bite to eat with dear friends once we wrapped up our concert season, I changed out of the tux and immediately headed across the water not just because I had a ticket that was expiring that day, but because it was more or less a guaranteed hour of peace and a change of view. Still recovering and recharging, sure, but it was a really nice way to spend the evening (even if all of the shops and places to eat were closed when I got there). ⛴️ Very likely going to do this more, but also looking forward to shooting more astro this summer, and will likely be prioritising accordingly. 🌌 #photowanderwithme #foto #fotografia #ig_shotz #instaphoto #instaphotos #instapic #photo #photograph #photographer #photographers #photographie #photography #photographyeveryday #photographyislife #photographylover #photographylovers #photographyoftheday #photographysouls #photooftheday #photos #picoftheday #pics #picture #pictureoftheday #pictureperfect #pictures #spring #pnwspring #seattle June 05, 2023 at 10:20PM https://instagr.am/p/CtIxBlkO91A/
