New Website!

Hi Everyone!

I just rolled out another website! Check out www.pudwellphotography.com for all of the latest landscape, nature, and wildlife pictures by ME!

From now on, www.scottpudwellphotography.com is going to be used for weddings, portraits, candids, and the new website will host all of my landscape and nature photos.

Things are quiet on the homefront. Nicole and I are leaving for Vegas (yeah, baby) on Saturday, and Nicole's parents are coming out to watch the monsters........always good to see grandma and grandpa (or as Josh calls him: Princess Leia).

Have a great Monday night!

Almost Forgot!

A big congratulations to my brother and family for welcoming their newest member to the world. Brayden James was born a couple of weeks ago, and I got to meet the little guy last weekend in Chicago at my Grandma's 85th birthday party.

Here's a couple of pictures to gander at:

Live from Maple Valley, it's Saturday Night!

I thought I would include some pictures from the summer that didn't make the blog or website. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!



Beaner enjoying bathtime!



The family in Leavenworth, WA. If you haven't been here, it's like being transported into Bavaria (Germany for those that are geographically challenged) and only 3 hours from Seattle!








A lovely Monarch butterfly resting on a flower.

My favorite picture that I took this summer on my trip to Alaska in August. Here's the road to Wonder Lake in Denali N.P. with Mt. McKinley in the background.

Delay.........

Hey there, blog fans. Sorry I have been on hiatus for awhile. I was back in Chicago for my Grandma's 85th birthday party from last Thursday until yesterday. It really isn't an excuse, but it is what it is. Plus, I had to watch the Packers beat the Vikings for the 5th time in a row, so I really haven't had a lot of time to dedicate to my dear old blog.

Anywho......I promise that I will get some new pics and updates going this week. Just not tomorrow night because I have to coach Josh's first soccer practice. So maybe Wednesday.......stay tuned.

Here's a pic I took of the Chicago theater on Saturday in the Windy City. And another one of my buddy, Steve, who is a rockstar in Rockford, IL. Enjoy the night.

A Whale of a Day!

As some of you know, I am a huge Orca fanatic. Nicole gave me the green light to go on a photography journey with the whales on Sunday. I went on my favorite whale watching boat (and company) http://www.island-adventures.com/. We headed to the southwest side of San Juan Island between Eagle Point and Haro Strait, and our boat met up with many members of J, K, and L pods (the Southern Resident Orca pods of Puget Sound). It was a beautiful day, and a great way to end Labor Day weekend and the summer. If you come to Seattle, this is MUST if you appreciate whales and the beautiful landscape of the San Juan Islands. Anyway, without any further delay, here are some of the pictures:

As the day drew to a close, a couple of orcas decided to wave goodbye. Goodbye to a great summer.

Enjoy your Labor Day everyone. Hopefully, you had the day off. =)
