Sun Set Favorites

       The sun is such a rare sight this time of year--I try to capture it in as many pictures as possible.  So I can enjoy the sight of it, all winter long.   I believe the best sun rise I have ever witnessed was several years ago when we still lived in Arizona.  Land of the sweating sun.  After finding out that my wife had never seen the Grand Canyon, we ditched the kiddos with Nana, and took off in the middle of the night.  I had a camper topper on the back of my pick-up, and we spent a very chilly night cuddled up to each other.  Way to early in the morning, we joined the masses- and took a short walk.  Witnessing the sun rise over this already beautiful place was beyond amazing.   I can not describe it in words or pictures.  I took some pictures, but they do not even start to give justice or credit to the sights we witnessed.   

      Because I do not function well in the morning, before many cups of coffee, most of my pictures are of sun sets!

       Today I wish to share some of my favorites.   Mostly from near the bay.  Because on a clear evening the views beat any show on television for sure!   The first few I would like to share --are not from Bellingham----for shame--I know!  But I find them very kool.   They were shot in my hometown of Sheridan, Wyoming.  For the many of you that have no clue were Wyoming is, it is the large, empty, snow-filled, square---in more ways than one, state directly below Montana.   Every one knows were Montana is!   Anyways, I recently spent some time there --- with my family.

This is actually in the town cemetery.

I was roaming around town -- taking pictures-

and got this great shot.

Very soon after, it started to pour down rain.

This one is over some random persons roof.  

It almost looks like a painting to me.

    I am thinking about posting the exploring blogs I posted on my other sight, while living in Wyoming, on this sight.   I try to deal with the ever beautiful Bellingham area, but this sight is also all about exploring.    Please let me know your thoughts on this!    Easily leave comments or check out both of my blog sights on my Facebook page.....

And now back to Bellingham!

Blaine, Washington

Down by the board walk is the place to be --come sun set!

Plus there is a walk up coffee shop near-by.

These were shot on the 4th of July

while waiting for the fireworks to start......

Roaming around the Fairhaven Terminal

   

Marine Park

I love this tree!

I have so many pictures of this tree--now I just need a fall picture and a snow picture.

                                                       Next post ---- Soggy Halloween!!

Another Week Of Exploring Bellingham!

 

 



   In the next few days I hope to get some new fall pictures around the area.  I have shared some of my favorites in recent posts past.  But have a few more areas to explore before the wind claims all of the wonderful colors.   I have heard the Mount Baker area is extra beautiful right now.  I of course will have a full post about our family fun for Halloween.  I hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween!   I would add a dry night to my wishes, but this is Washington, so good luck with that.  Another post coming very soon will be full of local web sights that I use all of the time to learn about all the events happening in our area.  I have many new concepts and posts in the works!

 

My next post will show case some of my favorite sunset pictures.  Mostly dealing with the bay.

All personal shots of mine.  

 

I am thinking about selling some of my better shots in greeting card form, locally.

 Today's post is all about exploring in the last week or so.  Events and trips that are note worthy or have offered some great pictures, but not worthy of an entire blog post of there own.   I hope you enjoy!  Last week we ventured down by the bay -a favorite place to explore for us all.  Our youngest ended up getting covered in mud and than getting hurt, so it turned into a short trip.  Luckily mom was home to offer a healing band-aid and a kiss or two!   I managed to snap some great shots before we ventured home. 

 



 

 

Mr Max instantly needed to explore the bay water.

 

 

I have tons of pictures of this tree.  

Next I need a fall picture of it and some when the snow flies.

 

 

 

View from under the rail road tracks.

 

 

Some pictures as we roamed around the pond that slowly trickles into the bay.

 

 

 

Don't jump!

 

 

Great place to collect sea shells

 

 

We returned that evening in an attempt to get some sunset pictures.

But the sun quickly disappeared behind the mountains.

I have posted bay pictures many times before. 
But here are some more for your enjoyment!

   Again around the pond.....

 

I will post my favorite sunset pictures very soon.

 

 

 

Max on the lookout!!

Three of the tallest and perhaps coolest buildings in town.

 

Last week my wife and I had the privilege to join our youngest's class on a field trip to Mt Baker Theatre. 
In the off and on five years that I have lived here, I have never been inside the theatre. 

We along with many of the local grade school's enjoyed the first school performance of the season. 

It was great.   Sadly I did not take any pictures while in the building.

But it is an awesome building both inside and out.

And the performance was outstanding!

 

Lastly today I must brag that Halloween --tomorrow marks seven years of knowing my wife.

 

We will be focusing on the kiddos and "screening" there candy tomorrow.

We lock ourselves in our room and go through the candy and keep some of the best stuff. 

Compisation for walking them all over town.

 

We did manage to sneak away last week on a night with no kids.

 

Were we enjoyed a great evening at the Silver Reef Casino.

The view from our room.

 

The huge new addition to the casino going in.
