We’ve been thinking about our particular place on the planet, our region, our city, our neighborhoods, backyards . . . and decided that field trips aren’t just for kids. Once or twice a month, hopefully, Poppy and I will be heading out to walk and take pictures of our immediate world, stretching the boundary as we go. Not much comment, just photos that express a sense of place beyond what words might.
Before long we’ll have an updated site with photo galleries and slide shows where the stories will unfold more completely. For now, here’s a taste of where we’re going with this. Just Photos. Seattle’s International District on the morning of October 9th, 2009.
Sally’s photos appear on the left, Poppy’s on the right in vertical sets; Sally’s photo above and Poppy’s below in the horizontal set.

Great pictures. You’re right that having a sense and knowledge of one’s surrounds is just as much a part of being locally-aware as the food is.
I agree. They talk about the importance of terroir in growing grapes for wine, how geography directly imparts particular characteristics to the grape itself. So it is with the inhabitants of a place.
I love these! What a good idea.
