Sara's Fave Photos Blog

Check out my new book, Flowers of Volunteer Park Conservatory. And welcome to Sara's Fave Photos Blog at Love That Image. My goal is to take a photo that is as compelling and beautiful as in real life, with no or minimal Photoshop work. You may copy a photo but link to lovethatimage.com.

Seattle Space Needle and skyline

I was in Seattle and saw this view of the Space Needle, and the Experience Music Project on the lower left. Glorious!

Artificial anthuriums

Even fake flowers can look good when the light is nice. These white anthurium flowers were a pretty holiday display at the Normandy Park Cove Holiday Bazaar yesterday.

Carpet rainbow

We got a new hummingbird feeder and it’s sort of a half-tube shape (the back of it is flat against the glass) that attaches to the window with a suction cup. The window faces south, so now winter sun comes in on a sunny day. Look what was on the carpet yesterday!

Another benefit is that the warmth of the house through the windowglass is keeping the sugar water melted, even in this awful arctic weather we’ve been having.

Window reflections

Finally got to get outside today. Super cold, but sunny. Here are some trees and sky and brick buildings with windows reflected in windows of brick buildings, looking fine in Seattle.

Red horse blanket

Wet pier

From a trip to Port Orchard, WA last year just at this time, a very wet pier on a very wet but lovely day. Let’s take a little stroll, shall we?

Five pies

Couldn’t resist a little food abundance photo: five pies! Marionberry, strawberry-rhubarb, peach, pecan, and coconut cream pie. Boy oh boy.

Five pies adorn a Thanksgiving table. We are grateful!

Las Vegas chandelier

Just because it’s been so dark outside, thought you’d like to see a photo of a chandelier to light up your world. How’d you like that in your dining room?
