Stay Weird Portland, Oregon...We Love Ya! Photos by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio.

July 26, 2025

Portland is weird and wonderful! Just the right recipe to celebrate a milestone birthday during July. Happy birthday Rich! We loved walking around the city. We love the architecture both modern, Art Deco, Neo-Classical, and Beaux Arts. We love the food and drink scene; Spanish, Italian, Greek, Afghanistan, Korean and more plus everywhere we turned there are craft cocktails and Oregon wines — all so great and delicious. The art scene in Portland too thrives with a Saturday market near the river, the Portland Art Museum where we took a break from the July afternoon heat and enjoyed a Monet Giverny exhibit featuring the painting Water Lillies.

Portlandia, sculpture by Raymond Kaskey on Portland Building is beautiful to see.

Oh Those Summer Days! Yes too Girlfriends, Roses, Cocktails and the Smith Tower -- All Fabulous!! Photos by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio

July 24, 2025

What can happen when five girlfriend’s get together on a sunny summer day in July in Seattle…a lot! They enjoyed two Uber car rides, and both just a little bit of a tight squeeze, as they ripped through the city towards acres of roses. The Woodland Park Rose Garden plants 200 varieties of roses and other flora — all blooming bright and beautiful. It was a zen afternoon for the ladies to enjoy nature and each others company. After the park visit, a lite lunch with shaken and stirred cocktails was sipped at Seattle’s historic Smith Tower observatory building, circa 1914. Also, the gals took in the sweeping views of the city and surrounding land from the observation deck; Elliott Bay on display as well as the majestic Mount Rainier. All and all a grand day was enjoyed by all in the Emerald City of Seattle. Let’s plan another getaway soon! Photos by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio, Bremerton, Washington.

Salish Sea Delivers T99 Orcas Killer Whales, Harbor Seals, Sea Lions, and Sea Birds by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio

June 22, 2025

Happy Summer 2025! We enjoyed a boat trip with friends sailing from Anacortes, Washington on the Salish Sea and the Strait of Juan de Fuca passing Whidbey Island, and several of the San Juan Islands in search of marine wildlife. Two days of exploring the beautiful open waters granted us many wildlife sighting gifts. We saw sea lions and harbor seals, the T99 pod of Orca’s killer whales, lots of seabirds: Cormorants, gulls, and an oyster catcher with an orange beak and orange eyes, and American Bald Eagles. Seeing wildlife in its natural habitat is pure joy that we appreciate and do not take for granted. Photos by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio, East Bremerton, Washington.

The West Roadtrip with Friends, Oregon Outback Scenic Byway, Eastern Sierras, and Superstitious Mountains by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio

June 10, 2025

Spring 2025 will be a lasting memory. I helped a friend drive her car from Washington State to Arizona. Along the way, we had overnight stops in Bend, OR., and Reno, NV., stayed a couple of days in Bishop CA., to visit friends, an overnight in very hot (107 degrees) Needles, CA., and lastly destination, Apache Junction, Arizona. I drove over 1,400 miles, and we saw dramatic and beautiful countryside with lakes, streams, the high country, the high desert, Cascade Mountains, Cascade Volcanic Arc, the Eastern Sierra Mountains, and the hot Mojave Desert and the Sonoran Deserts. We stopped along the route to take photos, stretching our legs, and during the drive had meaningful conversations. Here are some photo highlights of the trip.

Costa Rica on the Pacific Ocean Side and Puerto Vallarta Mexico by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio

April 1, 2025

Our trip to Central America included stops in Costa Rica where we took an aerial tram up into the dense jungle canopy. This was very relaxing and took an hour to get up to the highest spot in the jungle and come down again. During our ride we saw and heard birds and saw a Coatimundis on a trail - which was a lucky sighting. We also visited the Costa Rica Animal Rescue Sanctuary and saw white and black faced Capuchins, sloths, and other wildlife that had been rescued.

In Puerto Vallarta we visited the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe and old town and enjoyed seeing artwork on the Malecon Boulvevard. Photos by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio.

The old town has high sides walk and low cobblestone streets offering a path during the rainy season. Cartagena is a Unesco World Heritage Site. Photos by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio.

April 1, 2025

Did you know it takes nearly a day to pass through the Panama Canal with it’s three locks and Gatun Lake? Last March 2025, Rich and I with about 1,000 passengers including crew members sailed on the Holland America Zaandam ship entering the area and waiting our turn at about 6 am on the Atlantic Ocean and finishing on the Pacific Ocean after 7 pm. For us, it was an unforgettable journey to see and experience this master engineering feet. Below are photos of our day.

Antigua Guatemala Photojournalism by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio

April 1, 2025

Oh my heart! Visiting Antigua, Guatemala was a dream to come. It was our favorite country stop during our 15-day Central America and Panama Canal cruise, March 2025. The ancient Spanish colonial old town of Antigua is rich with culture, history, old world charm and photojournalist opportunities. The people, the colors, beautiful handmade tapestries, cobblestone stone streets, cathedrals and public squares are enchanting. And, the views of the active volcano Volcán de Fuego, Volcano of Fire, is seen from the town. I will visit Guatemala again. We barely scratched the surface - but this trip gave us a beautiful taste of what there is there. I love it so much! Photos by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio.

A Pacific Northwest Autumn Has Great Color - Just Look For It! Photos by Jolly Sienda Photography.com

October 27, 2024

Visiting the town of Port Gamble, Washington does not disappoint when it comes to vibrant orange, red, and yellow colors. Maple Trees planted along the main street add a pretty line to the white picket fences and historic homes of Port Gamble, founded in 1853. Visit the Buena Vista Cemetery too, circa 1956. Can be a little spooky with foggy weather. Two weeks later, we took a trip up to Lake Crescent and were delighted to see yellow and orange Larch trees spotted throughout the evergreens, entwined with some whisper fog. Lake Crescent was spectacular at at sunrise with brilliant color, some fog, and such crystal clear water. Lastly, the Norwegian town of Poulsbo, Washington with autumn foliage. Happy Autumn! Photos taken on October 12, 2024 and October 21, 2024 by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio, Kitsap Peninsula, Bremerton, Washington.

Autumn Sweet Family Fairy Tales do Come True for the Tibbetts Family by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio

October 25, 2024

Once upon a time in an autumn leaf forested land there was a sweet family: Megan, Joshua, Natalie and Mikey — the Tibbetts.

Their dream came true at Manchester State Park where their friend and photographer, Jolly with her life-partner and assistant, Rich, helped the family create some new autumn memories…dreams do come true!

Once upon a time in the land of Poulsbo, Washington, a sweet family of three and their three cute pups decided to have their photos taken in their Zen garden, under the autumn colored trees decorated with pumpkins, and next to their favorite truck while looking marvelous in their black formal attire.

Seattle Architecture Old and New and the Pike Place Market!

July 28, 2024

When you’re walking around a city do you look up at the architecture? In Seattle, you can find Art Deco, Second Renaissance Revival, Gothic, sculptures, modern tall skyscraper buildings and more, plus the iconic Pike Place Market built in 1907 and is still a popular locals and tourist attraction today!
