The Trojan Horse

She looked flamboyant, lurid, glitzy, extravagant and very proud!


Observing the cameras clicking from all directions, not once did she flinch or give an eye ball to the folks that pointed a lens at her in awe.

Absolutely stunning and she knew it! She had a poise that made her conspicuous amongst the thousands that had gathered at Key Arena for the Seattle Pride Festival 2009. Her rainbow mane glowed against the late afternoon golden rays. I watched her wide eyed, but my glass eye couldn’t stop blinking in an effort to embed this beauty in my digital memory.

She was there to battle the system and win rights for who she is and what she believed in. I christened her ‘The Trojan Horse.’

Warm up- Summer's arriving!

Is this what they call an artist’s sky?

I just love this time of the year when the evenings are getting longer and the sun is spending its own sweet time lounging in the sky, before taking a bow.

The water front in Kirkland, provides breath taking views of an artist painting the blue sky with the warmest color palette and all within an hour’s time frame- almost like a digital canvas with changing patterns.

New Life!

The snow has finally melted and there is a bounce in one's step- and why not, it's Spring!
Fresh green leaves, early morning dew, warm sun and smell of wet mud after a light rain injects a dose of life into me- nature's red bull!


Last weekend the mercury soared into the 70's (deg F)and it was a perfect day to be outdoors. On returning from spending the day out at the waterfront, I saw some dandelions growing wild in my backyard and they made a perfect set up against the setting sun.



I also took some back indoors and spent the rest of my evening taking shots of this delicate beauty.
