Last Rays

Saturday, June 26, 2010

This evening seemed like a good night for pizza, so we headed over to Brewery City Pizza and filled our bellies. Well, my belly is not quite as full as Krise's but you get the idea. After dinner we decided it was too nice out to just go home so we drove to Capitol Lake to take a nice relaxing stroll and watch the sunset. Tomorrow I'm going to show you what else we saw there. It's going to surprise you.

What About Me?

Monday, September 21, 2009

In yesterday's post I showed you not only a beautiful sunset to witness, but our youngest daughter taking time for "Just one more time pleeeeease." Well, usually it's the younger sister wanting to know why big sis gets to do things or go places she doesn't. Not this time. When our oldest daughter saw yesterday's photo I think the green monster started to rear it's ugly head. So, here she is in her blogging debut, and in all her glory, the star of my Monochrome Weekly.

Go Fly a Kite

Sunday, September 20, 2009

My wife and I both work on Saturdays so that leaves Sunday for family day. We decided to head over to the coast and let the kids fly kites and the dogs run on the beach. We stopped at Fred Meyer first and searched the shelves until my wife came up with the last two kites in existence. We ended up taking the hour or so drive to Westport. The weather was perfect. A comfortable temperature and just enough wind for the kites. We played at the beach for a couple of hours or so, then headed a few miles south to Grayland to our favorite restaurant Bennett's. After dinner we went back to the beach to catch the sunset. Knowing I was going to grab my camera and that I'd be there for a while our youngest decided to bring her kite back out. That provided me with the scenic Sunday shot I needed. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

Fiery Finale

Friday, August 28, 2009
As hard as I tried, I couldn't get a single sky shot to come out today. All I could get was the same shade of gray everywhere I looked. What to do?? Dig back about two weeks and show you a sunset that just made you pull over and watch. This SkyWatch Friday photo was taken just slightly north of Olympia near Nisqually. Have a wonderful weekend everyone, and.....

Fire in the Sky

Tuesday, July 28, 2009

Well, we did it. We hit 101 degrees here in Olympia today. They expect it to be slightly warmer tomorrow. If it hits 100 degrees at Sea-Tac Airport it will break the all time record. Even though it was 98 degrees inside at work today, even though we have to wrap our dogs in cool wet towels & I don't even want to talk about what it's like to be in shorts and sit down on a hot leather car seat just look at what we get to look at in the evening. You've got to admit it's hard not to stop and just stare at a sunset like this. Here's hoping everyone affected by this heat stays as cool as possible, puts down lots and lots of water and if you know any seniors check on them.

Cappucino Clouds

Wednesday, June 3, 2009

What a beautiful day we had here today. The temperature was right around 90. This made for quite a sunset with the clouds swirling around. It looks like tomorrow is going to be in the mid 80's. No complaints here!

Water Color Sunset

Friday, May 29, 2009

This sunset & Mt Rainier brought to you by the crazy family that raced half way across Thurston County through winding roads to get to " just the right spot". With the fantastic weather we're having right now the sky has really been colorful.

Bridge to the Unknown

Friday, May 22, 2009


I know, the title sounds pretty dramatic doesn't it? I wish it was. Actually, the weather was so nice today that my wife and I decided to go on a bike ride after dinner. This walking/bicycling bridge crosses over Interstate 5. We managed to time it with the sunset.

Black Lake

Thursday, May 14, 2009

Our youngest daughter, our Boston Terrorist and I went for a drive tonight. Black Lake seemed peaceful as we were going by so we decided to stop and snap a few.
