Seattle scenes*

Just got back from Seattle where I got to see family, one of my favorite people in the world, and met up with a new friend to see the Luminaria around Green Lake. The only thing I missed that I have to do next time for sure is eat at Delancey's. (I have been reading Homemade Life and loved the idea of going to her wonderful restaurant.)

The highlight for Ben was meeting Bella, Kelly Rae's dog. Ben played "Baby Bella" which involved stripping down naked, following her around and imitating her every move. We were almost hyperventilating with laughter when we looked under the dinner table and saw that Ben's "paws" matched Bella's perfectly. Seriously Ben, could you be any cuter?

This is a shot of Green Lake on the night of the luminaria. So happy Tara Weaver told us about it... it was magic to walk around the lake. (Fits in beautifully with her incredible project called Stalking Wonder)

Great post!

I think Ben is the main reason of your blog's success! He's just awesome. :)

On another topic. I just had a major insight tonight while reading your blog:

YOU'RE LIKE DOOCE. BUT COOLER.

;)

Cheers.

Oh! It was a long exposure of about a minute or so...
I rested the camera on a wooden post so that the camera
wouldn't move, set the dial on "TV" and adjusted the time.

It was really fun to experiment with that!

I left my heart in Seattle...We lived on Green Lake when my boy was 3. Lots of walks around the lake and playing in the park. Sweetness squared, please tell me you took a ferry ride!

Yay! I love when people come to "my" city and find it beautiful. Hope you'll find an excuse to visit again soon.

Wow I love how things like books can connect people over the net. I have A Homemade Life and met Molly at a book signing at a local bookstore. She's the real deal and from Oklahoma which makes it all the more better since that's where I live. She read the 1st chapter of her book and I was in tears it was so beautiful. Anyway I just had to share that with you! And BTW the doggie photo of Ben is PRECIOUS!

I recently played with some long exposures in D.C. A great alternative to what I normally do!

Love the way both you and Kelly made your photos come out, but in their own ways.
