These series of pictures were taken while I was walking around and exploring downtown Seattle last Sunday. I went to brunch as usual and ended up going to the restaurant Local 360 in the Belltown area of downtown. The food was fresh and delicious. Unfortunately, while I was eating, I found clumps of hair in my pasta and completely lost my appetite. The restaurant omitted my meal off of the bill and was nice enough to have my friend's meal on the house because of the incident. 

Afterwards, I got a lovely lavender mocha from Bedlam Coffee that was silky but not too rich. The lavender flavor itself hit the right notes and wasn't overpowering over the chocolate. The brick wall of Bedlam's had cool artsy graffiti matching the weird spunky interior decor inside. 

I was able to walk around Pikes Place and around the Olympic Sculpture Park near the waterfront and watch the sun set beautifully in the distant. Overall, the day was very relaxing and was another wonderful day in Seatown.

Different settings and views yet all are meaningful to me

Couple of "Homey" Pictures

The first picture is of downtown Bellevue my home and city that I grew up in. It has a beautiful skyline and beautiful buildings. The second photo is of a beautiful sunset I witnessed while waiting to cross the U.S.-Canadian border. The last photo is of the Seattle Waterfront with the Ferris Wheel at the pier. 

Sunsets, Seattle, & Bellevue are all a part of me. Sunsets are always beautiful to behold and witness. I am always awed every time I get to catch a glimpse of a Pacific Northwest sunset. Sunsets are one of the little things that I love and appreciate the most. I am grateful that I get to see beautiful sunsets in the two cities that I hold dear to my heart and my homes. The Eastside and Bellevue is where I grew up yet Seattle is my playground. The best of both worlds!

All photos belong and are taken by me. 2014.

Recent Photography/Camera Shots of Food & Other Things

Two of them I posted on my Instagram, and two I decided to save just for my own personal liking. Guess which two! The one of the vinyl record ceiling decoration was photoedited and photoshopped for a design course of Color in the Digital Age. The class teaches you the design aspect of how graphic designers handle creating color palettes and schemes for a project, and how those colors will be used, shared, and distributed in each design project and designs, or just among other designers. Plus, I thought the store decoration was very creative, innovative, and cool. This was strung over the Crosley section in an Urban Outfitters store advertising and selling vinyl records and the Crosley recordplayers. 

The food pictures are pretty self explanatory. Seared salmon nigiri in a minimalist setting and then the same light blue and white color scheme is found in the ice cream sundae. The first picture is of adorable succulents, decorated and potted well at my new favorite plant paradise on earth- a plant/terrarium store in the Ballard part of Seattle. 

Terrariums have become more popular and a trend as of late. I'm so happy that there are many plant storefronts popping up with more selection for succulents, cacti, and terrarium building tools/items. 

Yea Terrariumers! (that should be the name or term for people who love, create, & obsess over terrariums and terrarium-suited plants)
