So I have some great ones for you this round! These were taken from July 27 through August 15th, 2012. Read on......
Day 206 - We had a pizza party with friends at our neighborhood park. The kids were playing and riding bikes up and down the sidewalk, then they scurried down to tell us about the beautiful sunset! In my haste, I tried to go for the reflection in the window. It's okay but I could have worked a little harder to get a really good shot.
Day 207 - out of focus evening lights
Day 208 - Last photo shoot of the workshop at Harvey Airport in Snohomish - yes with hot air balloons!
Day 209 - Ella playing on our neighborhood swing - I took a whole series using some new techniques I learned that I'll post on www.kimhildebrand.com soon.
Day 210 - the moon(s!) Any guesses on how I shot this?
Day 211 - We took a day trip to Alki Beach which has a fantastic view of Seattle. We rode bikes along the path to the end, got ice cream, and played at the beach for hours. We found out our route home, I5, was closed due to a major wreck, so we ended up having dinner outside at Salty's while we watched a harbor seal playing around. I'd say it was a pretty good day. :)
Day 212 - the kids last day of swim class for the summer. Isaac is starting to dive in the deep end!
Day 213 - We decided to ride our bikes to View Ridge Park, bike to dinner afterwards, and bike home. The kids were troopers! They loved it.
Day 214 - Don't ask me. I have no idea why i took this photo, but its the only one I have for this day :(. All I can say is its been 5 years since our kitchen remodel and I still love everything about it!
Day 215 - I photographed a big wedding at the Woodmark Hotel in Bellevue with the help of my friend Holland. It was a long, hot (93 degrees) day, but I got some fantastic photos of their big day!
Day 216 - My Ecinacea is blooming, and I'm recovering from the wedding and packing for the cabin.
Day 217- Road trip to Coeur d'Alene, ID!
Day 218 - I love our cozy cabin :)
Day 219 - One of the many beautiful sunsets we saw during this visit.
Day 220 - I've been wanting to take a starpath photo for quite a while, and thought Idaho would be the perfect location. There is hardly any humidity, no big city light interference, and no clouds this trip. I was right! This shot was a 25 minute exposure......
Day 220.2 - I had to share this one too. The kids got to hang out with their cousin from my side of the family whom they hadn't seen since Christmas. They had such a good time together even though their stay was cut a little short. We can't wait to see them again!
Day 221 - hummingbird!
Day 221.2 - I had to share two photos for this day as well. In this shot, I focused on the North Star, Polaris. This exposure was 30 minutes long, and the ambient light at the bottom is from Coeur d'Alene. There's also a little streak going across the photo, either from a plane or satellite - can you see it?
Day 222 - One of the most cozy breakfast nooks, ever.
Day 223 - We slept under the stars the night before to watch a meteor shower. The kids LOVED it, and we actually saw about 10 shooting stars and got some sleep. This photo is from the last sleepyhead snoozing the morning away. The second photo of the day is below. I took the kids down for a sunset swim, and the sunset did not disappoint. It was the best one of the trip.
Day 224 - Someone got a haircut!!
Day 225 - last night at the cabin. I took this at midnight - couldn't resist.
