Step Away From The Camera

Sometimes when I take a picture it’s because I see a story and want to preserve the moment.

Sometimes my dog grabs my phone and I save those pictures because my dog took them and I love him…duh.

And other times the pictures aren’t just plain wrong, but I like them anyway…for example:

Last Monday  the sky was full of smoke and the Sun looked ill so I took a picture of it because I lack empathy for nature.

I toss non recyclables into the recycle bin a lot of the time- that’s how bad I am to Nature.

I liked this picture better upside down.

Actually, it was a bad shot but I liked the colors and textures so I wanted to make it work.

I’m not sure who hung this picture of a cat( or maybe it ‘s a rabbit)  in the tree to save it from the sidewalk which was wet from rain but if they cared enough to do that I figured I should do my part to save it too.

So I took a picture of it.

My brother is a talented photographer, my nieces are gifted too. Me. I just sort of try to take good pictures and most of the time I fail.

But damn, they ARE interesting failures.

So in my own pathetic little way, I guess I’m not half bad

Set In Stone

We may says once something is set in stone, it stays that way forever.

But it doesn’t.

The Orange Haze of Doom

I took these pictures from the King Street Train Station which in part  is below street level in downtown Seattle.

The orange / yellow haze is caused the smoke reacting to the sunlight from two forest fires that have settled into a large area in Washington State.

This is the same area taken from a slightly different angle and I shot it from the shade.

The smoke didn’t show up in this shot because I  moved a few feet down to a  slightly covered area.

The smoke was still very much present even though you couldn’t see it.

As a side note:

I have never taken such quiet commuter train rides in this past year.  Nobody is laughing or shoving or talking on their phones. Most people are walking a little slower and a few people are coughing.

I miss the blue sky and I miss real clouds- not that thick blanket of smoke that’s hanging up there pretending to be something it is NOT.

I hope it clears up, just a little and SOON.

Wildfire smoke is choking Seattle, obscuring the view and blocking out the sun

Ash from wildfires falls while smoky, ‘unhealthy’ air chokes Washington state
