Can you believe this place is a high school? I felt like I was looking at Hogwarts or something, not a public high school building. Pulling out the 24-70 to get that ‘wide angle’ distortion sealed it for me here. Making those buildings look as if they are leaning in to one another makes this a little more surreal and magical.

Love finding California Golden Poppies up here in Washington. Takes me south for a moment or two.

My son spotted this at the exact same time I did and told me,  “Mom, better take a picture”. I love that he is seeing things like this when we are out and about with our cameras. It’s the little details, the repetition and the everyday beauty that I want both of my kids to see in the world.

Attempting to make the Poppy “POP” like her new friend Katy showed her. I know she saw us, but I don’t think she realized we could see her up there as well. Catching someone in the frame like this is a little bit magic.
