University of Washington

United States, Washington State

While studying at the UW I often took study breaks and wandered around the campus and the nearby Washington Park Arboretum taking pictures.

Alfred’s grandmother lived in Little Compton until she passed away last year. We visited mostly at Christmas and a few times during the summer. The shades of grey in the buildings, stone fences and stormy skies are beautiful.

Sarasota, Florida

United States

Alfred’s grandfather lives in Sarasota and we have gone to visit several times. Leaving chilly, rainy Seattle and landing in a place with alligators, warm beaches and brilliant blue skies is wonderful if not a bit disorienting.

Brilliant birds at a wildlife park.

Lizards abound on walking trails just outside of Sarasota.

We had just talked about walking down this path when two alligators lunged at each other and fell into the water.
