A little bit of Washington State

We were back in the USA and decided to go to Sequim. They had a lavender festival during the weekend and we were hoping we would still be able to see lavender fields. We took State Route 20 and stopped for a few minutes at the Deception Pass Bridge to take pictures. These photos were …

Vancouver, Canada. Part 2

On Sunday morning we went to Stanley Park. It was supposed to rain but we got lucky and other than a couple of rain drops, it was just very cloudy. And then we went to the Aquarium. It was very dark and some people were taking photos with flash. I kept getting flash reflected on the …

Vancouver, Canada. Part 1

We crossed the border before noon. The line was long but it took only about 25 minutes to get through. I have an assortment of iPhone and Sabrina’s photos. As much as I love Sabrina, my iPhone is most of the time faster and easier to reach. As we were getting closer to the city. …

Chuckanut Drive, Washington

Saturday, July 21st. At 9:00 AM we were on our way to Vancouver. It was very cloudy. We decided to take a detour through Washington State route 11 (Chuckanut Drive). Our first view of Samish Bay.

Bellevue, WA

Our first visit to Washington (state). I took these clouds photos with Ali’s iPhone. I tried to exclude the airplane wing from the frame but it was almost impossible and it adds some perspective. Every time an English native speaker asks my name or how to pronounce it I would say: Claudia as in Cloud (I hope …

Coeburn, VA

My first current post! We spent the weekend with our family (Ali’s side) in Coeburn. I have been there several times but mostly in the Winter. This was my second time in the Summer and even though it was cloudy and raining I had a chance to take some pictures. As I have said before …

Savannah, Georgia

We went to Savannah just for a day. I guess I was tired and the sun was too harsh because I only took a few pics. Colorful bicycles! The little girl was having such a good time. I like the effect of the water on his face. The fountain in Forsyth park. Was added in 1858 …

Magnolia Plantation, Charleston, SC

This time in Charleston we visited a Plantation it was fun and a very hot day. The old Oak trees with Spanish moss looked so beautiful. I used to be afraid of these trees because when I was little my brother told me stories about how they became monsters at night 🙁 I mentioned it …

Charleston, South Carolina

We went to Charleston twice this Spring. Our favorite city at driving distance from where we live. Every time we go, we enjoy walking on the pier and watching the sunset. Of course visiting the best restaurants in Charleston is our priority. We were there for a couple of minutes before the storm started, it …

More flowers

Once again in Reynolda Gardens, the temperature those days was already warm but comfortable. It has been a life lesson for me to discover many little things and details in everyday life that I ignored and didn’t appreciate. I am referring to nature but it makes me wonder about all the times I could have …
