I had to take a day trip to Seattle for work today (yes, I have been VERY busy). I didn’t want to take my bulky camera through security etc. and figured I wouldn’t have a chance to take photos anyway.

Well of course the weather was fantastic and the flight to Seattle was incredibly beautiful – AND I was sitting on the best side of the plane. I had to make do with the camera phone but I’m pretty impressed with the results. The first pics and this next one were actually taken on the flight home when you fly closer to the mountains. That is Mt St. Helens in the foreground (the active volcano that erupted about 20 years ago) and Mt Hood in the back.

It was quite a challenge to keep the plane’s propeller out of the shot. I flew on one of those planes that seat about 40 people. You know, the ones that are almost the size of a bus and feel like a they could drop out of the sky at any moment…

I took this photo on the way up to Seattle this morning with the sun rising behind the mountains. Yes, I left VERY early.

We had a video shoot for work today “on location”. Sounds way more impressive than it is. 🙂  The guy we are working with for the video found this very cool burnt out warehouse for the shoot and I took about 150 photos. VERY cool site and a great way to practice with the camera.

Another beautiful sunny day and a chance to play at the park. Thomas is finally back to his normal self and even well enough to go to his swimming lesson.

Beautiful sunset on Friday night. This pic is straight out of the camera. No colour adjustment at all.
