Sea Plane Life, conveniently right in my backyard

You're kidding, right?? This is where I live? How on Earth did I get so lucky to grow up here and call this place home. I just don't have words for the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. But I'll try. 

Dungeness Spit, Olympic Peninsula, WA. Love the clouds in the distance. Even the haze adds some character to this photo. And a bit of mystery.

Dungeness Lighthouse. Wind at work on one side, calm on the other. 

Just "plane" fun to take photos through the propeller. :) Good job, camera.

Some sort of small fire, but it made for a brilliant photo with the added texture.

Playing with the sun rays and the somewhat dirty plane window. But really, this is my backyard! 

What beauty lies here. And everywhere. Those clouds, that sky, those islands, that water. I love it all.

I just couldn't stop taking photos of the clouds and the landscape/seascape. It gives me the chills to think that I can capture single moments in time with photography. Never again will the sky look exactly as it did in this photo. Wow. So special and so lucky to get this chance. 

Hiya, big fella.

I took this at the moment we touched the water. This was possibly the most smooth landing I've ever experienced. Damn, that pilot was good!! And she was probably 10 years younger than me.

Maybe the Property Brothers could help these people out? Just kidding. Ceramic wall. So beautiful! This makes me think of the city of Bothell's motto - Come for a day, stay for a lifetime! But this one seems less threatening. Like if you accidentally visit Bothell you'll end up staying for life! Haha. Although, I am not sure what the "one reason" is for visiting Cascais. I mean, right now there's the European Harley Davidson rally happening in this town. But I sure didn't come for that. :) Hmmm... This guy looks important. Part of an old fort. Paco and I ran into a tourist from Minnesota while walking through Cascais. He asked what sites he should see and we recommended the fort (among others). He goes, "Yeah. I mean, a fort is a fort is a fort." He was a nice guy but in my head I was like, "Well. Forts are amazing. So there.) I love a good marina shot. So many stories all packed into such a...
