The Boeing 787 Dreamliner in The Museum of Flight Air Park, Seattle, Washington, Cascadia.
"Jet City Woman, to make the clouds go away.
Typist: Bethany
Jet City has had plenty of spectacular blue skies this week. Unfortunately I picked the hottest of those days to take Wilhelm, Brychwyn and Huxley to Boeing Field and The Museum of Flight for a dog friendly urban adventure. While wandering the museum grounds and surrounding neighborhood, we stopped often for water and shade. During one of those shady stops I attempted a photo of the dogs with a plane in the sky. Huxley was too fascinated by the landing aircraft to watch the camera and I thought his turning head had spoiled the shots. Instead, I captured a hilarious series of photos that perfectly display the curious personality of a collie (see the slideshow below.) If at any point during my life in Jet City, someone tried such a photograph with me in the foreground, my head would have done exactly the same thing. I have always been fascinated by everything that goes by in the sky. So goes the tale of a Jet City woman and her dogs. 
Three dogs, two planes.
Up, up and away!

Among the myriads of questions I get asked when out and about with the pets, on popular query is "who's in charge?" I always get a laugh when people state "I bet the little one's the boss!" Upon seeing cat Amelia and cockatoo Leo sharing the stroller, people often inquire "do they get along?" The simple answer is yes but we have our ups and downs. When I first considered a photograph for a "below" themed photo, I spent a little time pondering who would be above or beneath who if we had a pack dynamic and I considered a line up that would illustrate this. However, I don't consider the Cascadian Nomads a pack with any one person or pet above or below another. It sounds kind of cheesy but I consider us a family. Like any family, we have day to day getting along issues with each other to work out but in general our three dog, two human, one cat and one cockatoo group dynamic is quite even keeled. Oddly enough, these photos I took late last week at one of our local coffee stops kind of illustrates which pets might sometimes be below others. Some are also a line up of which pets are below another in age. Regardless of implied meaning, I love these sunny Seattle family snapshots. Answering strangers questions about the pets is a fun part of getting out and about but moments like this are above all.

If scientists knocked on my door to present me with a thorough study that concluded the next time I sat down at my computer to work there is a 75% chance everything in my neighborhood would be killed, I would very likely find some other way to do my job(s.) With the comprehensive scientific study that concluded drilling for oil in the Arctic has a 75% chance of permanently damaging one of Earth's unique ecosystems, I stand against a plan to send oil drills to the Arctic. This is just my opinion. I am not an expert and I am not trying to start a political debate. I photograph and write about pets, not politics. I also share my experiences with pet friendly travel and I know full well that my wanderlust has and will continue to burn a lot of fossil fuel. I truly love my life of modern conveniences, most of which exist because of petroleum. So in standing against Arctic oil drilling, I stand for finding a way to continue to exist as a modern, mobile society without destroying the Earth. All that being said, on Sunday, Jason, Wilhelm, Brychwyn, Huxley and I took the bus to downtown Seattle to join hundreds of others with similar feelings, rallying and marching for the Earth at Myrtle Edwards Park. There is a 75% chance the dogs had a great time and a 100% chance that they were really cute. Regardless of politics, enjoying the Earth together, especially on a beautiful Cascadian day like the one in our snapshots, is what life is all about.
What do you and your pets do to protect the Earth or help a cause you are passionate about?
