Here we are on Sunday again with our usual group of landscapes, close-ups and a weekly Keeley. I keep trying to come up with something new for you, and this week I at least got you a duck's butt. It's not my favorite, though, as that Trilogy Lake is one of my favorite things to shoot around here.

- Drove through Kirkland tonight on my way home from Bellevue. Stopped by one of Kirkland’s three beachside parks. I shot about 30 photos, but this one was one of my top four. I couldn’t decide, so Kathleen helped me pick one, and we both think this shot is of either a penguin or a duck with its head underwater. You choose.

- Your weekly Keeley shows you that our adorable puppy is a little thief. As you can see here, she has stolen her mommy’s chair. This is one of the few places she usually sits. This is Kathleen’s chair, and Keeley often sits there, but almost always in Kathleen’s lap. Right now, she’s doing it again because Kathleen is out getting a pedicure. So, missing her, Keeley is sitting next to me in Kathleen’s chair.

- Took Keeley for a long walk yesterday, and we ended up on the far side of Trilogy along the Sunrise Loop Trail. There’s a walkway and bridge you cross over, and this is the scene from that bridge. I’ve taken other photos there in different seasons, and it’s one of my favorite places in Trilogy. It’s not really a lake, more like a bog with plenty of water. Still, it’s a place I love to walk.

- Tonight was our monthly Trilogy Travel Club meeting for November, and we introduced a trip to India for March 2027. We had a bunch of people, and I used my time pre-meeting to shoot some crowd shots of people conversing. The gentleman on the right is one of my favorite people in Trilogy, Kit Mohan, and he and his bride, Shoba, are the ones who brought us this wonderful trip. They wanted to share a little of their home country with their friends and neighbors. We even had our tour company owner speaking to us via Zoom from India. It was awesome.

- Working out today, I saw this scene. The thing about it is that, rarely when I am there, are all the treadmills full. At least, all of them in a row. There are four or five others just to the right of these in the Center for Well Being here at Trilogy. I felt OK taking the photo because no one should be recognizable from this angle.

- One of the most remarkable things about living on Redmond Ridge is the abundance of trails, many of which pass through wetlands. When those wetlands are quite large, water is almost everywhere. Fortunately, the county parks department does nice things like building this footbridge that spans a wide area of bog. The truly amazing part is that less than a quarter mile from where I took this photo, there’s a large shopping center, and I am only about 2.5 miles from our house. Keeley and I try to go for a walk every day when it’s not raining. We call it dodging the drops.

- With bad weather and nothing I really wanted to shoot, I decided to do some product photography today. I intentionally used a macro lens so that only the final product was in focus, while the rest of the box was slightly out of focus.

Well this is a first. Usually a photo just jumps out. It’s not a negative …just too many good ones. So … I’m going with the guys on the treadmills.
Finally, a duck\’s butt!
