It can be hard to leave home in the evening when it’s dark and rainy outside. Most nights we find indoor activities much more appealing. It’s easy to go outside to take pictures when it’s sunny or snowy. When it’s rainy and gray……Not so much,

Eventually we feel the need to get out. So where do we go? Well, after getting our coffee, we go in search of lights.

February is one of my favorite months to watch the sunrise. Why is this? The weather may not always cooperate, but the time of day that the sun comes up is about as good as it gets.

We woke up on a Saturday to one of those rare days (most years) where the sun is shining in the middle of winter! When this happens there are so many things we want to see and do. But on this particular day, we only had a few hours to spare so we need to stay close to home. Not to worry, there are lots of great things to see in the Tacoma area.

Most of our adventures begin with a great cup of coffee and this was no exception. Scott and I were ready for an adventure but only had 1 day to get away. Since the weather report looked good, we decided to hop onto the Washington State Ferry in Bremerton and catch a few sights.

The parks, the waterfront, and my neighborhood. These are places I enjoy in my hometown all year, but in the fall, they really put on a show.

Fall is here! While I can’t say that I look forward to the gray skies that seem to come with it too often in the PNW, there are lots of things that I absolutely LOVE about fall.

Sunrise season is upon us! Well at least the season when I like to watch the sunrise.

There’s this stellar view in Gig Harbor that somehow, I always forget about until I’m looking at it again. Each time I wonder to myself ‘why is it I don’t come here more often?’.

We wanted to get some photographs of the full moon rise happening in a few days, and wanted to make an adventure out of it, but needed to stay in the area since we had to work the next day. So what did we do?

We decided to hop on a ferry boat and head for Vashon Island and Point Robinson.

Where are we going to watch the moonrise this year?

Every spring and summer when we can expect better weather, I begin to look for great places to view the full moon rise. We’ve found a few great places but this one we keep coming back to.
