Tickling the ivories will never be the same on this jazzy piano I spotted in a music store in downtown Seattle...almost makes me want to take piano lessons.
This is Riley, my son-in-law's dog. It's obvious that she loves to play ball, and is waiting patiently, dropping a big hint....
Seattle has already had just over 4 inches of rain in the first half of March, way above the average. It's cold and damp, and I'd forgotten just how many lichens like this kind of climate. This whole tree was covered. Anyway, it's green, and good for the first day of spring photo!
Took this with my telephoto, so I couldn't hear the conversation between the two birds on this footbridge....but it almost looks like the owl is wondering how to answer some sassy remark from the crow.
I used to call these 'catty nine tails' as a kid; some call them corn dogs. No matter; these are still pretty, even though they're last year's.
I am now in the US, Seattle to be exact, since my mother isn't doing so well, and had to move from her home. It's a big change, and elderly people don't take kindly to changes, but what to do? I'm/we're trying to make the best of a not so great situation. 
Should have posted something green for Saint Patrick's Day for all of you in the US, but I just couldn't resist this girl's snazzy red high heels. They've got some sort of gold 'thingie' underneath.
Aren't these the sweetest ladies? Grandma Jelka (Yel-ka) and Grandma Rosa are the grandmothers of my daughter-in-law and her brother, the latter of whom was recently married, and this photo shows them wearing their little boutonnieres for that happy occasion. You might remember Grandma Jelka's hands from this photo.
Apologies for the quality here; cell phone photos!
Snow's almost gone, but in a few places it's still around. It's hard to dry your clothes in cold, damp weather.
Here I am desperate again for a 'bridge' photo. The above photo of spine-heeled boots that are almost guaranteed to throw your back out of line was taken last fall, and I really wanted to use it. Thanks to Google, I found spinal bridge and can post it today!
