Inspiration- Washington- Saskia M Photography

Its been a while since I blogged. The holidays are always so crazy, I think I have finally just recovered from all the busyness. I thought I would start off with a new type of  blog post- Inspiration. Photography is how I express myself, but my photography is inspired by music, poetry, people, and more.  So, here’s the first one.

I am inspired by… my home.  I did not grow up in Washington State, but I have lived here for the last 6 years.  I love living here.  I love being surrounded by beauty everywhere I go.  I love that I feel like I live in forest, yet have the city so close by.  Here are just a few photos from my recent trips around Western Washington.  Hope you enjoy.

“As we advanced, the country seemed gradually to improve in beauty.  The cleared spots were more numerous and of larger extent; and in the remote lofty mountains covered with snow, reflected greater lustre on the fertile productions of the less elevated country.” -George Vancouver, A Voyage of Discovery, 1792.

matt shumate - That’s my home (I’m from Tacoma)! I grew up camping at Alder Lake (we used to sleep on the island in the middle of the lake). I’m In Spokane now, and as much as we love it, western Washington will always be home.

Great photos.
