Edmonds Sunset

Since I missed the spectacular sunset on April 30 when I was on the beach at Golden Gardens, I was determined to get sunset pictures while the weather was clear. So the following evening, May 1, I went to the nearby beach in Edmonds. I was not disappointed. "Spectacular" is putting it mildly. I am constantly amazed at God's artwork broadcast across the sky for the world to see.

The first two pictures were taken with my Android:

The following were taken with my camera:

The moon was just a little sliver.

Two ferries crossing the Puget Sound in opposite directions

It reminded me of the line "Two ships passing at a distance, through the darkness, one going from, one coming to, America!" from the song "Journey On" in the musical Ragtime.

I took the following two pictures with my Android and ran them through Instagram:

I also posted this picture on KING 5's website. It can be viewed here.

Golden Gardens

On April 30, 2014, my gym closed. That evening, many of us who worked out there had a bonfire at Golden Gardens, a park and beach in North Seattle. It was a beautiful day. Unfortunately, I had to leave before the bonfire started due to evening plans, but I was able to enjoy the beach and friends for a few minutes, anyway! Following are some of the pictures I got.

Incidentally, Golden Gardens was one of the locations where I filmed my epic short movie The Heirs of Djeek last year.

Black Lake

This past weekend, I went to Black Lake in Tumwater, Washington for a men's conference. That's near Olympia, the state capital, a couple hours south of Seattle (or four hours in rush hour, as my friend Charlie and I discovered when we carpooled down). I got some pictures, and I thought I'd share a couple here. Two are the same photo, but I applied different filters. I couldn't decide which filter I liked better.

Enjoy!

The lake was stunningly beautiful when we arrived Friday just before sunset.

There were daisies all over the place.
