Photo Hunter: Rocks

Filed Under (Pacific Northwest, Photo Hunter, Photography) by BlurMommy on 16-07-2009

After a long break, here’s my entry for the Photo Hunt this week. The theme is Rocks and here is a very rocky beach full of rocks.

This is how a lot of the beaches around the Puget Sound look like. It really took me by surprise when I first saw it because I was expecting nice sandy beaches like those in Florida. But the nice thing about these beaches are the the rocks are very smooth. My girl loves to try to skip rocks with them.

Cherry Blossom

I realize that I have the habit of taking photos of DH and Lil’ C from the back! :) That’s because I am always lingering behind with my camera taking photos of everything!! Usually they will get tired of waiting for me and just go ahead while I catch up with them later. :P When I catch up with them, I always cannot resist the temptation to take a photo of them walking hand in hand. Love the moment!
Anyway, every April, the cherry blossoms will be in full bloom at the University of Washington. So 2 weeks ago, we went to check them out. Here they are again walking hand in hand around the campus and admiring the cherry blossoms.

There were white ones and pink ones too.

Spring oh spring, where art thou???? It is officially the first day of spring but it is definitely still feeling like winter. I am really looking forward to these flowers blooming soon. These were last year’s flowers. Hopefully this year’s bloom will be beautiful and not be affected too much by the freezing winter.

After years of crowded city living, hopefully someday I will be able to live in a place with wide open SPACE like this in Oregon. Of course, the great view will be an added bonus.

This week’s theme is Thankful. There are so many things in my life I am thankful for. Most of all, I am thankful to God for blessing me with these 2 important people in my life.

There was frost on the ground this morning. It is super freezing cold and it has just been a very long winter. I wish that the WARM weather would get here soon!! In the meantime, I will just have to depend on this bowl of WARM broccoli cheddar soup to stay WARM. :)

Last summer we went on a cruise to Alaska. Besides stopping at Juneau, Ketchikan and Sitka, the cruise also included a cruise around the Hubbard Glacier. The Glacier was just so awesome. While we were enjoying the beautiful scenery, we saw another cruise ship which had just finished cruising around the Glacier. The cruise ship looked so small in front of the huge glacier.

A closer look of the cruise ship as it got closer to the ship that we were on. Check out all the ice floating on the water.  It was actually a little nerve-wracking sailing through the ice because we keep hearing all kinds of banging sounds as the ice hits the ship!! : )
