  • The sound of the bacurau

    From ages 5 to 27 I lived on a big house with a huge (and I mean HUGE) backyard, full of fruit trees, big rocks to climb, lawn space to run, a tiny soccer field even, and of course a big variety of wild life. The ones we saw more often were the animals that… Read more

  • Blowable seeds

    It’s that time of the year when allergic people hate to be outside because of the amount of pollen still in the air. True that a couple months ago, it was worse, but you can still see stuff flying around that would not be very comfortable to the ones who suffer from allergies. Well… I… Read more

  • Hard to take very urban pictures whe you spent almost the whole life in the surburbs. But this weekend I had a 10K race in downtown Seattle. I usually walk my races, which is cool because it allows me to take pictures. This time around I did a mix of walk and jog, but still could… Read more

  • Berries

    Another picture post, this time with berries I photographed in the trail I go for my walks, or parks I go with the kids. The reason why I photograph them is that they are so beautifull. Some are clusters on it’s own (like the blackberries, raspberries, cloudberries, etc…) while some are tiny round fruits that show… Read more

  • Ok, I know I have already posted photos of Merge, but I just couldn’t resist adding this one. The merge here is real, and the picture was taken as is, with no editing. The wheels are from a cart left on a somewhat historic site, where there used to be a mill several decades ago, and the… Read more

  • Hi, I’m entering with 2 pictures today, to show two different interpretations of merge. The first picture was taken as is, no editing done, and it shows the merging of the old and new architecture in downtown Seattle. The second picture is a (very amateurish) merging of 2 pictures, layering two nature elements that has similar shapes.… Read more

  • Hello, This will be my first attempt to participate in the Photo Challenge. The picture itself is not great, as it was taken with my phone while driving (which by the way is the first wrong doing here… I know… but to my defense, my phone is always placed on the dashboard and I don’t… Read more

  • The title above can summarize my day so far, and it’s only 2:00 PM. My 2 daughters have a cough that’s been going on for a couple weeks now. So earlier this week we called the doctor and scheduled a visit for both of them to happen today afternoon. But last night the little one started… Read more

  • Today I went ziplinig for the first time since I was 10. At 10, we went on a field trip to a military bootcamp sortof thingy and they allowed us to play on the obstacle course (just like the Survivor challenges) and finish it up with a zipline. I remember I loved it, but never… Read more

  • My first MLS game ever

    Yeah, yeah… I know soccer is not the strongest sport here in the US, but it is on my country of origin, so, it’s in my blood to enjoy watching a match. So yesterday, with the excuse of my sister and my soccer-crazy brother-in-law visit, I took them and my dad for a home match… Read more

  • Bubble fun

    Kids with the bubbles, mommy with a camera. Read more

  • I Love My BFFs!!!

    Really do. No, nothing special happened this week to trigger this post. Just plain desire to share the love. ;o) Sometime that happens to me. That I feel so much love that I start sharing it away. Usually I tell directly to the people I love, but the problem is that if it becomes repetitive… Read more

  • Ok. today I feel a bit weird. I work with someone who is the opposite of me. She’s nice and she’s very efficient and gets lots of work done, but she’s also very stressed out, she freaks out for anything, she’s not too flexible and can be a bit bossy. I, in the other hand, am… Read more
