I’m late. Lost a couple of days because we headed over to Dad’s to enjoy the low tides.
We live a block below the good views. Here is a random gallery of photos taken within walking distance of my house or my dad’s house, my two centers of orbit in response to last week’s lens artists challenge: Local Vistas.

Gan Xingfu (chasing happiness) 赶兴福
This November I am chasing happiness by photographing and sharing one lovely thing I see each day. I do edit the photos, often with an artistic effect like the one above, because playing with a lovely thing makes me happy.
Note: My son checked with his co-workers and, while they haven’t heard the phrase gan xingfu, they thought it was just fine to use.
I think this little fellow is a white crowned sparrow, daring me to take his picture. Notice how the marking on his beak echoes the shape of the black on his cap?

This sculpture near the Seattle Aquarium shows a cross section of the sea life below the surface in Puget Sound. As the fall clouds start to move in it’s fun to go through summer photos.
