Native Seattleite Charity Burggraaf (@charitylburggraaf), who specializes in food photography, says “sometimes little things make a big impact. It’s a fun challenge to find compositions in overlooked moments or angles not often seen,” like this interesting pattern in a leaf at Volunteer Park Conservatory.

A former photojournalist who still “loves hunting for reflection photos around Seattle,” Matt McDonald (@equalmotion) refers affectionately to this time of year as “puddle season.” He suggests “keeping your eyes open for reflections in windows, puddles, and other objects you can use to transform a classic postcard scene, like The Seattle Great Wheel, into something even more creative.”

The West Seattle–based photographer Chona Kasinger (@chonakasinger) “finds endless inspiration in the city’s changing seasons.” She placed her partner, Erik, and their beloved dog, Buddy, in this frame “in order to convey the magnitude of these towering trees” in Seward Park.
