Seattle Summer Evening

It was one of those evenings here in Seattle that reminds us why we all live here. I went down to Jim and Roxanne Dunn's boat on Lake Union yesterday. Jim and I made a batch of his honey amber ale in the afternoon. Then I was invited to stay for a feast cooked up by Roxanne for a article she is writing for a magazine. I took some photos for the story and then later, as the evening was coming to an end, I snapped this photo of the Seattle skyline as the sun set. The feast included crab, mussels, clams, sausage, potatos and corn, all cooked up in one big pot. It was so much fun and just an amazing dinner.

Three New Pendants

I've recently finished three new pendants. (From l to r) Willow Creek, Reticulated Silver and a Lapis pendant. They are in Denise Oliver's Gallery in Harrison, Idaho and are for sale. I also have obsidian wind chimes and some pottery there. It's a great little gallery on the shores of Coeur d' Alene Lake. I'll be adding some posts on other fun things to do around the area.

Tulips -- Nature's Color Pallet

Since it was nearing the end of the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, I decided to take a trip up there the other day to do a little photography. If you've never been, it's one of those things you have to see at some point in your life. The massive amount of vivid colors is overwhelming. I've been a number of times and it's always worth the trip. Click on the photos to view a larger image.
