From the PERCH-Snow in Seattle

Well, this may give you a pretty good idea of how behind I am on photos, here is the photos from the snow storm that we got before Thanksgiving. It was actually my first Seattle snow and I'm happy to report that it didn't even last a week AND it wasn't that cold out!

Just another reason why I love Seattle!

From The PERCH

November 15, 2010

This was a super stormy night, very very windy and cold! Many areas throughout the Puget Sound lost power, but the clouds were so pretty :)

I was warm and cozy on my couch just watching clouds fly by.

Hope you have enjoyed and feel free to comment! Have a wonderful day!

Ok, so seriously, when is the last time you've seen the moon like this? It was so stunning! My roommates and I just stood there enjoying the view. It only lasted for a few minutes but it's not a view I will forget soon.



Earlier in the evening is was pretty fantastic as well!





Thats all I've got for From the PERCH this week but stay tuned because I'm editing like a mad woman trying to get caught up on all the recent shows I've done. Look forward to more Sewn Together, A Cedar Suede, Proper Etiquette, Bourgeois Bulletwound!

From The PERCH- The Fourth Installment

10.2.10- Beautiful clean night in Seattle!
You may notice the strange lights in the sky, I can not explain this, I couldn't see them but for all the image I took they were there, in the same spot..




10.11.10- SUN!!!
I don't think that I've actually put up any from this view point before now, I must say it is long overdue! The Puget Sound on the clear day is so amazing! My new goal will be to get a gorgeous overcast shot of the Puget Sound..not the easiest thing to do but I'm always looking for a new challenge!


On the one side of our house we have beautiful holly trees, today was my first day actually photographing them and I have to say it was very entertaining! These trees just remind me of Christmas, maybe in a few months I will get to post some images with snow on them.

Cletus- The House Beast

Since our move last month, the house beast, Cletus has been so much happier and much more entertaining!

So today after giving her catnip and playing/laughing at her with all my roommates, I decided to follow her around with my camera.

Our first adventure took us out on the porch where she checked out the view and did some sunbathing. Our next adventure took us to my bedroom or as its becoming know, Cletus' room. She has fallen in love with my room especially my bed, but shes not picky about where she sleeps, one morning I watched her walk out of my closet...HILARIOUS!










As always I hope you enjoyed checking out my blog, have a wonderful day!

From the PERCH- The Third Installment

It has officially been just over a month that we have lived at the Perch, and I have to say, it hasn't all been roses and sunshine, but at the end of the day we are still very happy to be here!


9/9/10- Beautiful Day, playing with lens flare..


9/11/10- Our official housewarming party! We picked the perfect evening to show off our amazingly beauitful view!


Cletus thought it was pretty bright out! She walked right up and just stood with her head in the light, she's so funny!




Hope you have enjoyed your time checking out my images, thanks for stopping by!

So within the series From The PERCH, I will also be featuring "Through The Window" which is an idea inspired by The Perch. With no rules, just like I like it!





Through the Window

Yes, these were all in the same evening, I sat at home, watched and photographed as it changed...oh yeah, I was also texting my roommate Taylor to tell him he should be home to see it.

Labor Day Weekend was great being at The Perch, still getting settled but its hard when the view is so entertaining.. the Farmers Insurance blimp floated around all weekend.

Confused by this last one? Can you guess what it is? Well, I try not to torture people so this time I will let you in on what it is. The railing on out deck has a gap in it and from the perfect angle I got the sunset steaming through the small slot..I love this image! You will definitely see more from this angle in the future.

This is a pretty good one to see the Interbay Golf Course.

Well thats all for this installment, I hope that you have enjoyed checking out what I've been up to and look forward to hearing your feedback! Have a wonderful day!!

From the PERCH

I have successfully survived yet another move, the 3rd in less than a year, actually! This is by far the best place so far since coming to Seattle, I now live in Upper Queen Anne. I have this amazing view of Magnolia, Lake Union and the Puget Sound, which has inspired a series I am now starting called "From the PERCH". I will be featuring images of our view and life in the new place!

So to start off the series, I'm posting the photos I took the first time we saw the place and fell in love with it.




Yes, the pink appliances were one of the things that won me over instantly...I had visions of my roommates and I hosting cocktail parties where I am cooking in the kitchen, wearing a 50's style dress with an apron and my hair in an updo!






This is the view from my bedroom window.





And last but certainly not least, the VIEW! Now, keep in mind these were taken using my point and shoot, enough said. In the coming days, I will be sharing my "real" images with you all.



Until then, I hope all is well and everyone is enjoying life!!
