A good bench for pondering the possibilities created by this bridge. You can take a relatively short jaunt out to Snoqualmie Falls, or travel to the other side of the continent. Posted for CB&W.

Seagull and Wave Sequence
Normally I shoot photos one at a time. I don’t follow active children around or shoot sports, and even with squirrels and birds I usually take single shots. But sometimes with a quickly moving target I switch to burst mode to try to make sure I get at least one pic that has focus nailed and a good expression, turn of head or whatever.
Shooting in bursts like this is called “spray and pray.” It’s a somewhat derogatory term because rather than depending on skill and technique you’re betting that quantity will lead to something of quality. Derogatory or not, spraying and praying can be useful! And sometimes you end up with a fun sequence, like this seagull getting surprised by a wave.

Anywhere There’s Water
It’s a common topic on this blog that I love water in all its forms. What I haven’t mentioned is that when I’m asked to name a favorite anything, I usually can’t. I love reading too much to have one favorite book. I’ve enjoyed too many great movies to pick just one. Even my favorite color depends on context.
So when the topic for this week’s WPC was “favorite place” it didn’t surprise me that there was no way I could name a single, absolute favorite place. It also didn’t surprise me that most of my many favorite places have a unifying theme of being near water.

After not leaving the house for three months this winter, I’ve been making the most of several of the sunny days we’ve had more recently, starting the second week in February. I’ve visited twelve different new parks and viewpoints! (Plus I’ve been to some of my regular parks in between.)
