Seas 'n Trees... blues 'n greens...


Because the Natural World is Awesome...


New images mostly every day, fresh from Virginia Beach... featuring Sunrises and the Magic that happens where the Sky, the Surf, and the Sand collide and mix into that Mystical State we call the Beach...
So, sit back and enjoy the view... although all the Elements are the same, they mix in entirely different and exciting ways every day... if you can't actually be on the Beach, I'll show you how it was...

Dale Chihuly Gardens and Glass, Seattle Center, 6.7.12

Rolled out to Seattle for a few days...
and took in the Chihuly Exhibit...
in the shadow of the Space Needle..
There were lighted and mirrored indoor rooms...
and outdoor gardens with complementary plants...
and landscape features...
Although i found his indoor fixtures somewhat self-indulgent...
it was an impressive exhibit...
well worth seeing...
especially the outdoor scenes...
where the glass was much more natural...
and blended into the World...


Backlit ceiling panels...
bleed onto the walls...



A free-standing garden on a mirror...



  
The Boats with floats...


One of the Chandeliers...

The GlassHouse...
looking up...
 into the SpaceNeedle...


The outside gardens...


Seattle Sun...
atop a hill of Black Mondo Grass...
A Crow flew in to land on it...
then hovered and backpedaled...
and picked another spot to alight...
That was my favorite vista of the Exhibit...

Wonderful vignette of proto-crows...
emerging from the Underworld...



Burnished Sky at 48th Street, VB, 6.11.12

The Sun rose into the soft gold tones...
of a burnished Sky...
down at the Beach today...
Faded, familiar, hues...
made a perfect reunion scene...
Good to be back in the Sand...

Hard Wind at 48th Street, VB, 6.5.12

A day of change...
down at the Beach today...
A hard, cold wind...
is coming straight off the Sea...
Little storms pop up, then blow away...
and the Clouds do weird things...
as the Ocean kicks up...

Easygoin' Mornin' at 48th Street, VB, 6.4.12

The Sun popped up quietly...
down at the Beach today...
Pushing not a ripple...
across the calm Sea...
Against a light offshore breeze...
the Surf put up lace curtains of spray...
for the Sunlight to play in...

Easy Morning at 48th Street, VB, 6.3.12

The nice June weather is settling in...
down at the Beach today...
Calm Seas and an offshore breeze...
will highlight a great Beach day...
I feel lazy already...

After the Storm at 48th Street, VB, 6.2.12

The Sand was fresh, washed overnight by the rain...
down at the Beach today...
The air, too, has cleared and cooled...
The only remnant of a fierce Storm...
is the Cloudbank on the horizon...
that the offshore breeze is pushing out to Sea...
and the Sun has risen above...

Nice Day Starts at 48th Street, VB, 6.1.12

Just nice out there...
down at the Beach today...
The Waves are here...
but the wind hasn't shown up yet...
Sweet Morning...
