We finally arrived in Leavensworth and day 1 is where my Tell me a Story Blog is going to happen. The day was overcast and drizzly as we arrived. Fortunately our drive from the Orcas Islands to Leavensworth had been pretty good. The air was cold and we quickly bundled up. After booking into the motel we decided to head out while the rain was not too bad. First stop was a beer garden for a brat and beer. Then it was a meander around town while the weather was okay. Lastly we took a drive up to a ski run just to see what it was all about. You will have to wait for day 2 to see images of the actual town.

I have spent the last 9 weeks in recovery and it still goes on. I can drive but I cannot walk far. I find I need to get my foot elevated pretty quickly. I attempted to take some photo’s juggling the crutches yesterday and that just did not work. So for this month I am just going to continue to share the Seattle Stories. The Orcas Islands were amazing, on the ferry boat rides we saw such stunning scenery, and the town of Friday Harbor was quaint, pretty and welcoming. Today we are on the road from the Orcas Islands, heading towards the German town of Leavensworth. We are heading into the mountains and of course the snow.
The scenery was beautiful and I will confess that my blog was taken over a longer period than 30 minutes.

It is so hard to believe that a month has past. I am still in the recovery process of foot surgery and am unable to go out and take photographs right now.
The last time I blogged with Artist Inspired, the theme was blue and I shared image from our trip to Friday Harbor. This month the theme is gold and I decided to share with you the trip home from Friday Harbor. If you want to see what Friday Harbor actually looks like check out the links below.
We had an amazing day heading out to Friday Harbor, the scenery was outstanding and the town of Friday Harbor was quaint and unique. The people were friendly and chatty. We stopped in at a pub for a beer and chatted to the bartender a while. Finally we headed back down to the ferry waiting area and met up with Barry and Enid. Our day was closing and we were heading back to the mainland. It was really cold and I was not sure I was up to standing outside whale hunting for whales that do not appear to be evident where we are traveling. Hang out on the ferry ride with me and enjoy the scenery.

I have to confess that the theme this month of BLACK AND WHITE is one of my favorite mediums. Katherine Cobert of Cobert Photography chose the theme for this reason.
I’ve always been partial to black and white…maybe because it’s an easy way to make a picture somewhat minimalism. A black and white conversion seems to eliminate all of the distractions and puts the focus straight on your subject. It creates a pure and simple beauty ~ Katherine Cobert
I have quickly come to love black and white. I find it very strong and defining. Black and white tends to hide areas you don’t want to stand out. Black and white is timeless.
Recently while on vacation in Seattle, I discovered I loved the strength and definition of the black and white images of street photography. Since I am still post surgery and not walking about, here are a few of my favorite black and white images.
