My online journal sharing interests in photography, nature, coffee life, journaling, fountain pens, bicycling, spirituality and asking deep questions.
This past Tuesday I had a chance to take some photos of a couple who were renewing there 25th wedding anniversary vows. It was a small ceremony with a son, daughter-in-law, two grandchildren and the girls. What a gift and honor for them to share this moment in their lives! This is the bride, groom and the girls. Thank you Linda and Jim! Hoping you get to celebrate many more.
I discovered this couple leaning against each other and watching the sun set while I was hanging around Pikes Market in Seattle a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday I was enjoying the sunshine and 87 degree temperatures while visiting my parents. I flew back to Colorado this morning where it is cloudy and 34 degrees with the possibility of 3-5 inches of snow by morning.
As most of you know from reading my posts I do enjoy spending time (and too much money) in coffee shops and I have some favorite places I patronize on a regular basis. There is something communal about these shops. I like walking in to a coffee shop and having the barista call you by name or query you as to why you weren’t in yesterday. Or, to have other coffee patrons start up conversations about their sons basketball game or test grades. Community is a good word.
They are also places for meetings. Lots of business meetings take place here. First dates. Last dates. Meeting a friend you haven’t seen on the last 10 months. I noticed this couple one morning last week and asked if I could take a few images. I wanted the silhouette effect to show their conversation and yet not let their identity be known. Some good coffee and conversation.
