Project 52: Week 12 – Diablo!

My niece and I took a drive into the North Cascades National Park this past weekend – it was breathtaking!  The peaks, the trees, the waterfalls – so much to see I had Photographer-ADD.  Though I’m sure this wasn’t the first time that’s happened ;-)  I wanted to see everything, capture everything, and do it all while the sun was shining. It was a beautiful day – even though there was fresh snow on the mountain tops, it felt like it was finally spring!

The Cascades Highway curves along the river from the fields up into the mountains above the lakes.  We stopped many times to check out the views. Diablo Lake was amazing with the snow capped peaks reflected in the water.  I have hundreds of photographs to download and sift through now – I’m excited to relive the adventure :-)  Here are a few captured with my phone…gives you a quick taste of the day and hopefully inspires you to go for a drive!

à bientôt! (See you soon!)

Project 52: Week 11

Hey!  The Pacific Northwest lives up to the hype – a bit of rain or hail each day over the past week. But when the sun does come out, its all the more appreciated!

à bientôt! (See you soon!)

Project 52: Week 10

Hey all!  I drove up to the Seattle area on Saturday – LONG day, LONG drive!  But the sky was blue, the recent snowfall in the pass had been plowed from the road and I made it safely ;-)

Over the next few weeks, I’m looking forward to taking more pictures of this beautiful area!  Maybe even venture across the border into Canada…So much to see, so little time!

If you were here, what would you NEED to see before you left? Even though I’ve been here many times before, I’m open to suggestions ;-)

à bientôt! (See you soon!)

Project 52: Week 9 – Product Review Special!

Hello! I put off Week 9′s post for a day so I could provide you with a product review – and my product arrived yesterday.  Let’s just say I’m amazed.  It is stunning!  I didn’t take a picture because it wouldn’t do it justice!

I ordered a 16×20 print on acrylic from Imagekind – a first time order from this site as well as a first time on acrylic.  First, I expected the processing time and shipping time they estimated to be longer than they indicated (3 business days to process and ship and 3 more business days to receive – total 6 business days from order to receipt).  Believe it or not, I received it on the estimated delivery date!

Second, I expected the image to be fuzzy and color-corrected, as other prints or products have appeared (from other vendors since this was my first order with  Imagekind).  Not a chance! The image was sharp, the colors were bright and the image was exactly as I intended.

Imagekind printed on the back of the acrylic and the effect is amazing…stunning…luminous!  I am so impressed with their craftsmanship – they brought my image to life!

I will definitely order from Imagekind again – on acrylic for sure - but I will also be taking a closer look at their other products!

If you are interested in one of my images on acrylic, please let me know and I’ll set up a custom order for you in my shop – it would be my pleasure! If you are interested in using your own images, feel free to shop away at Imagekind. I’m sure you will love what you create!

à bientôt! (See you soon!)
