More Seattle Photography Fun

This weekend, as I'm finally getting over yet another cold this winter, I pried myself outta this house and went out to play. The kids planned a lunch at the Old Spaghetti Factory and Sarah was on a field trip for an art class in Seattle as well. So we met at the OSF and picked up Sarah from the art museum to join us. We had a nice lunch, Hunter is becoming quite the attention grabbing personality. After lunch Rick, Sarah and I headed over to Archie McPhee's to get shots of some of the oddities there.--




Well, it turns out AM moved so we ended up in the Fremont neighborhood. With cameras in hand we headed for the canal there and got to watch all the activity on and next to the water, including, bikes, kayaks, sail and motor boats, ducks, swooping pigeons and even the opening and closing of the drawbridge! We discovered the whereabouts of Google and Adobe. From there we wandered over to a statue of 5 or 6 people called "Waiting for the Interurban" whom were clothed this time in wedding garb. Fremont is a very colorful, eclectic area and we had photo opps everywhere we turned.--






When it was just getting dark we finally made it to McPhee's and were not disappointed, it was jammed with all the silly things it's known for. Rick probably has a few posted on our smugmug so go there to see what it's all about.--


After it was even darker yet we headed up to Kerry Park on Queen Anne to get some night shots of the Seattle skyline. I learned an invaluable lesson - use the remote for those long shots! I didn't think my pushing on the shutter release by hand would shake the camera so much but I was WRONG! Rick and Sarah got plenty of nice shots but me? Not so much.--

Next up - potty training!
