Just as we were wrapping up our shoot, I wanted to get some shots of Natalie in this necklace she brought with her. I think it's almost as beautiful and cool as she is.

Natalie, in this dress, on this windy day at the beach was (and still is) breathtaking. Natalie and I spent months trying to be in the same place at the same time to do a shoot together. It was definitely worth the effort.

One of the things I love about living in western Washington is the presence of mountains, with the Cascades to the east and the Olympics to the west...

Natalie working with the wind, sea, and sun for this shot from our recent session at the beach. She brings such a wonderful mix of beauty and intensity to the space in front of the lens!
(and yes, there's a strong vignette happening here)

Natalie looking stunning (at which she excels) while enjoying the sun, sand, and surf at the Playa de Cabanyal. A perfect way for us to kick off our first shooting session together!

I'd noticed a Red-winged Blackbird repeatedly perching on this thin tree for a bit, and then flying away. It took a while, but I eventually managed to get a shot of it taking off.  Patience paid off.  :)

I've had the good fortune to catch some other birds in flight recently, so they're grouped (flocked?) together in today's post.  These were taken both at my usual haunt, the Center for Urban Horticulture, and another favorite birding spot: Spencer Island.  Happy Flyday!

Gear: Nikon Z 7II, Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3 + 1.4 Teleconverter
