Who Is This Guy?

Stan Orchard is a Seattle-based writer, journalist, broadcaster, Pacific Science Center Web Publisher, rookie photographer, RapidWeaver aficionado and all-around great guy who lives in Hobart, WA. These are the stories of a family living on a 5-acre piece of paradise nestled up against the Cascade foothills 30 miles SE of Seattle. Nature, technology, children, photography, careers, and more. Not necessarily in that order.

A warm mid-winter day on The Orchard Compound finds us outside cavorting with our amphibious friends. These little guys are all over the place.

Wish I knew what kind of frogs they are.

Pathetic Pumpkins

Pathetic pumpkin patch. Our gardening last year was a total waste. The few small pumpkins keep reminding me to plan for spring. Can't get here soon enough.

Dark Day

I snapped this from our front porch around noon today. It was a very dark day, but the sun was trying to shine through.

Never did make it.

Spring can't get here soon enough. We really need some brighter days for awhile.

Diehard Free Wifi Fan

I walked over to the Center House today to have coffee with a friend. It was POURING rain, cold, dark, dank. But that didn't stop this guy from enjoying the free wifi at the Mural Amphitheater.

Seattle Center offers free wifi at various locations - Center House, Fisher Pavilion, and this spot, among others. This guy was curled up with his laptop under the mural trying to stay dry. The obvious question: why not walk over to Center House?

Shot this with my iPhone 3GS using BestCamera app.

Which Way Do I Go?

As I was walking from my car into work this morning just before six, I noticed they'd just painted new lines in the parking garage. At that early hour all those arrows were REALLY confusing to my bleary mind.

This was shot with my iPhone 3GS and used the Best Camera app. I'm really liking this app. It still needs work but the ease of uploading to multiple sites simultaneously is just great. Looking forward to more control over the filters and an easier way to upload to Flickr. But the app is good. Highly recommended.
