Image of a young girl standing at the edge of a mirrored lake, reflecting the brilliant blue sky and treeline from the opposite bank of the lake. She is framed by large pine trees on either side.

Chasing Summer. Seattle, WA, August 2025.

#summer #seattle #pnw #beach #pugetsound #pacific #sunshine #family #dadlife
Image of a young girl walking out toward a beach on the Puget Sound from beneath a railroad underpass. The underpass is riddled with colorful graffiti, and the sunshine is perfectly framing the girl and beach in a triangle of light. The Puget Sound is a deep blue, and the Olympic Mountains can be seen lining the horizon across the water. An image of two decaying dock foundational pillars jutting upward out of the beach on Puget Sound. They are covered in barnacles and other sea life. Barnacle covered rocks surround the pillars, and waves crash against them forming whitewater, which contrasts the deep blue of the sound. The Olympic mountains can be seen across the water lining the horizon. A young girl sits on a makeshift swing made of driftwood and found rope. The swing is on the beach of the Puget Sound. The girl is shadowed by the tree above her and is cast in silhouette against the bright blue water of the sound and rocks and sand of the beach. It’s a beautiful Summer day.

Devil’s Punchbowl, Oregon. August 2025.

#oregon #travel #coast #seascape #nature #pnw #pacific #northwest
A photo of Oregon’s Devil’s Punchbowl rock formation. The rocks span the length of the photo, with the expansive Pacific Ocean stretching out to the horizon behind the bowl. A small hole can be seen toward the bottom right of the bowl, and white coastal water is crashing through the hole onto the rocks at the bottom of the bowl.

Cape Kiwanda, Oregon. August 2025.

#travel #oregon #pacific #coast #pch #pnw #photography #pnw #northwest
View from atop of the dune overlooking Cape Kiwanda. The sea has carved out a bowl, which is colors of blue and green and white where the water hits the rocks. Surrounding the bowl are jagged sandstone cliffs in all colors of yellow, orange, and brown. Behind the cliffs, large white tipped waves can be seen making their way to shore. A marine layer of fog sits between the turquoise waves and the bright blue sky.

A shot taken at the top of a dune in Cape Kiwanda, looking down the steep incline onto the seascape below. A downed snag lines the steep dune, behind which you can see the waves crashing on the faraway beach below. Tiny specks of people line the beach, but are mostly obscured by marine fog.

Hug Point, Oregon. August 2025.

#hugpoint #stateparks #oregon #pacific #coast #pch #travel #pnw
Photo at a viewpoint on the Pacific Coast Highway, just outside of Hug Point State Park, overlooking Manzanita. The picture as taken from high up on a ridge, and the blue water turns to white where it meets the rocky outcroppings and sandy shores of Manzanita. There’s a thick marine fog coming off the sea, which separates the water from the bright blue sky. An image of craggly eroded rocks shooting skyward like a shark’s tooth. Behind the rock is a sea blown forested rock side. The trees are warped from the high winds. There’s bright blue sky behind the rocks. An image of bright purple asters, with a bright green backdrop. A sleepy creek cutting toward Hug Point State Park beach. There’s a fallen snag draping over the creek. Various hedges and shrubbery are scattered around the hillside in different shades of green. The sky is bright blue and vibrant.

Astoria, Oregon. August, 2025.

#travel #astoria #oregon #photography #pacific #pnw #northwest
An image of a derelict cannery set above the estuary of the Columbia River. The photo is taken from the planks leading out to the abandoned cannery, which are worn and in poor condition. The sun is shining and the water is bright blue. A photo of the Columbia River estuary. The Astoria-Megler bridge can be seen in the distance, along with various watercraft. A tree lines the river which is backlit by a bright Summer sun. A very large Sea Lion gazing upward from a worn dock. He’s staring at the camera dubiously as if it’s disappointed him in some way. He appears to be a very good boy. An image of a steamboat on the Columbia River estuary. The sun is setting behind the boat, and much of the water appears glassy. The boat is backlit and starkly contrasts the silver water of the estuary. The sky is a brilliant yellow and orange where the sun is peaking behind the mountains, fading into all shades of blue.

🎶Doot doot doot, looking out my back door.🎶

Happy Spring.

An image of a large cedar tree towering above the viewer, with partly cloudy blue skies as the backdrop. The sun is shining by through parts of the tree in refracted beams. A few flowering pushes line the bottom of the image in pink and yellow. It looks like Spring!

Field trip season means it’s once again time for lunch bag doodles. Eldest daughter requesting #Vecna. Quick one before packing up her lunch for tomorrow.

A depiction of Vecna from Stranger Things render in chalk on a paper lunch sack. He’s eyeing the viewer in a 3/4 view with blue light accenting the left side of his face and tentacles. He does not appear happy.

Putting the finishing touches on this piece for the annual Highland Terrace auction. Keen to see what we can raise for the school this year! Probably one more session with this one.

A photos of my 8yo in a yellow recliner, engrossed in a book. She’s sitting with one leg crossed beneath her and the other half outstretched. A green ottoman is in front of her. There are two books and a large, geriatric Maine Coone cat on top of the ottoman.

Grand Canyon National Park, April 2023.

#travel #photography #nature #arizona #nationalparks
A black and white image of the Grand Canyon. The expanse of the canyon stretches out seemingly endlessly, with various buttes/plateaus fading outward to meet the horizon line. The image was taken at/near noon, and as a result the shadows from the strata starkly contrast against the sunlit areas of the canyon.

Craggly red rock outcroppings jut upwards from an unusually green Spring desert floor. In the foreground, an out of focus prickly pear cactus partially obstructs the view of the rocks. Grey and black rain clouds loom above the rocks. Craggly red rock outcroppings jut upwards from an unusually green Spring desert floor. Some homes and buildings scatter across the landscape. Grey and black rain clouds loom above the rocks. A close up view of several bunches of dried hatch chili peppers. The peppers are vibrant in color, ranging from bright red to dark purple to yellows and oranges. A black and white image of rocky outcroppings in Sedona Arizona. Dark shadows are cast off various parts of the rocky edifice. Various brush and old abandoned fences scatter the foreground in front of the rocks. A few white fluffs of clouds float above the rocks, seemingly only a few feet apart from the rocks themselves.

A favorite in the LaVere kitchen of late: charred cabbage with brown butter tahini, topped with toasted hazelnuts and fresh mint.

#meatlessmonday #cooking #food #dadstuff #kitchendad #winter #seattle #eatyourveggies
A plate of charred cabbage rests on a glazed ceramic plate, sitting atop a white marble counter. The cabbage is darkly roasted and topped with a golden brown butter tahini sauce, which forms a vague swirl around the cabbage. The cabbage is topped with toasted hazelnuts and fresh minced mint.

#washington #winter #travel #photography #blackandwhitephotography
A black and white image showing a wide expanse of snow capped mountains viewed from a high plateau by a woman, which rests on a swing with her back to the camera. The frame of the swing is square and black, creating a frame of sorts within the image, surrounded by snow covered ground. Low grey clouds hover just above the peaks, contrasted against the white snow of the mountains. The Columbia river cuts through the middle part of the image.

Field trips = lunch bag doodles. Very quick and dirty #blackpanther, by request. Been a while since I took a pass at King T’Challa!

#marvel #comics #sketch #doodle #seattle #dadstuff #fieldtrip
Quick pen and ink sketch of Marvel’s Black Panther on a somewhat crinkled paper lunch sack. He’s rendered in a style somewhat between modern MCU and Tex, in all black with gold inlays to accent the shape of his mask and necklace. His right hand raised to emphasize his golden claws.

Picture of two girls in Summer attire brushing a surely French Bulldog, backdropped with view of Wapato Lake and the surrounding hills of Manson. The hills are largely bare and tan, with the occasional rock face or tree jutting out. The sky above the hills is blue, speckled with a few small clouds.
