Not much of a reflection here, but couldn't resist posting this. Just goes to show you that you should always have your camera ready. Caught these cuties while stopped at a red light. Thank goodness for automatic windows; down mine went and snap, snap. Their owner was only too happy to have these pups pose.

ABC WEDNESDAY "O" is for "old"
I pulled over to take this photo of these shutters and matching moss on this old house near Kopachuck Park in Washington state.
There's even a matching daffodil.

Cat who swallowed the canary?
Maybe not the canary, but a finch or a crow or a red-winged blackbird? This beautiful cat lives in Birds Unlimited in Gig Harbor, Washington. He is a rescue cat....what a great place to live for a cat, though I imagine the birds steer clear of him. No birds for sale anyway in the store, just things bird-related like feeders and birdbaths!

REFLECTIONS WEEKEND-my world turned upside down
I am barely visible in this reflection through a series of inverted wine glasses at the Pike Place Market in Seattle. My own world turned upside down nearly three years ago, when my beloved husband passed away unexpectedly.
Today would have been our 34th anniversary.

SKYWATCH - Majestic Mount Rainier
Mount Rainier, or 'the mountain,' as it is known here, rises majestically in the distance. Viewed from Gig Harbor, Washington.

ABC WEDNESDAY-"N" is for "noshing"
Like these pastries? I did...of course not all of them. My daughter and son-in-law noshed on them... Yum.

SUNDAY BRIDGES--small, but mighty
These police boats on Lake Union under the Aurora bridge may look small, but they're mighty! Doing their duty daily!

REFLECTIONS WEEKEND--flaming!
I was intrigued by these flames in a restaurant on Queen Anne hill. I was snapping away when a waitress appeared at the door. Darn, I thought, she's going to ask me not to. But no! I was invited in for their promotion to have a complimentary coffee and pastry....so in I went.

SKYWATCH FRIDAY--stormy skies over daffodils
Stormy skies over a field of daffodils in La Conner, Washington.... This area is known for its fields of tulips, but few were open. It's a late spring!

SKYWATCH--Hey, the sky is BLUE!!
I'm using scheduled posting for this, but the sky is NOT blue as I type. I liked the juxtaposition of the cloud, tree, and birds on this shot taken around Seattle's Green Lake.

Cold, but unstoppable....
Took this photo shortly after my arrival when there was a bit of sun, but that's all some Seattleites need to get out in summer wear. This girl skater reminded me of this one I photographed in Belgrade.
Yesterday it snowed in Everett, 20 or so minutes above Seattle....

ABC WEDNESDAY--"L" is for "Lucky me"
I posted this same photo on March 31st, but no one saw it, or at least left a comment. Not blaming you, but rather me, since somehow I goofed on the posting and it was still sitting there as a draft two days later.
To repeat myself, this is breakfast prepared by my good friend Pete, whose wife Mira is also a very, very good friend. They've helped me in all kinds of situations more than you can imagine, most recently with my mother, the reason I am now in the US.
Pete loves to cook and remembers who likes what. Here he remembered that I like two pieces of toast and coffee. The slice of turkey and the egg he added for protein! He also remembered I always sneak Bibi some of what I eat, so he put a slice of turkey on the little napkin...see it?
LUCKY me to have such good friends.

Bayside still-life
While walking Bibi on the shore along Henderson Bay near Gig Harbor, Washington, I came across this still-life on a large rock. My feeling is that it was arranged and left there by a child, perhaps encouraged by a parent not wanting to have more shells at home.... Love the little pink bird.
Am still in the US for quite a while yet, attending to a family matter.

No dogs, no cats, no pigs...
I've seen several of these signs on schoolyards, and I had never noticed them on previous trips, if indeed they were around. I haven't seen a pet pot-bellied pig in years, but apparently walking them on school grounds is still an issue! For that matter, I haven't seen anybody walk their cat in a long time either....

SUNDAY BRIDGES--"The last time I saw Paris....err...the sun!"
Took this photo from my daughter's rooftop terrace the day after I arrived and that was just about the last day I saw any sun here in Seattle. Yesterday I couldn't even see this bridge...

No posts from Belgrade for a while; am in the US for a family issue.

Reflections Weekend--Color in a bottle
Oh, it's been soooo gray and rainy here in Seattle since I've arrived....I am color-starved. Took this photo through a bottle in my daughter's breakfast nook window.... Today there would be raindrops reflected on the window, too....

Theme day-EDGES and April Fool to you...
Hey, guess what? The world really IS flat! While helping my mother move here in the US, I came upon this painting (reproduction, actually) entitled "I Told You So!". and thought it was perfect for today's theme day of 'edges'.
So you see, the world really IS flat, no matter what you have heard, and these sailors are headed right over the edge down to....where? Where do you think?
