ohana - family, miles, cheri, pal

Our family spends a lot of good time together.  We garden, travel, play catch, barbecue, watch movies, walk the dog, tease the cats, play computer games.  Here are some snapshots and vignettes we hope you enjoy.  And come see other family stuff at deepgraysea.com.

father and sonfather and son Cheri is the one most gifted behind the camera, so Miles and I seem to end up in snapshots together pretty often.  Here are some of my favorites of the two of us together taken over the last ten years.  More...

our animalsour animals Poppy and Jean Luc, our two cats, are sitting on the couch with me as I type up this text on my laptop.   They wonder why there is a picture of the, ahem, dog here.  Surely two attractive cats would be much preferable.  Especially if they were eating something delicious.  Maybe a cube of butter?  On the kitchen table?  When nobody's looking of course.  More...

mother and childmother and child Cheri and Miles are very close, and have some of their best times with each other.  Every so often I can sort of sneak up on them with a camera and take a good picture; here are some that you may enjoy.  More...

our gardens Our best family days are spent working in the garden, digging holes, planting, mowing, pruning, just being outdoors in the sunshine. We've made a couple of successful gardens already, and are well into a new one.  Here are photographs of our happiest places.  More...

context

tiny bird asks... So what kind of a place is Shoreline, Washington?

Shoreline is a tree-filled suburb just north of Seattle.  We moved here because we could afford to buy a home, and also because the school system had a good reputation. 

Map of Shoreline
There's a wonderful beach at Richmond Beach, on Puget Sound, and a lot of community involvement in schools, churches, athletics, stuff like that.

Shoreline Public Schools
Kindergarten through high school kids are served by the big Shoreline School District.  Miles has had great teachers so far.

City of Shoreline
Shoreline was recently incorporated as a city, the 12th largest in the state of Washington.  There are a number of civic works projects going on in town; new fire stations, a new library, sidewalks on the main toot.  The city council's website has background on local governance.

Richmond Beach
This is an aerial photo of Richmond Beach, on Puget Sound, where we like to go.  There are more and larger photos at this site.
