REFLECTIONS WEEKEND- The doggies in the window

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.

Tooth 'ache'

This is Baby Amel, the daughter of friends. You can see she's cutting a tooth...on her father's thumb...

In the US on a family issue.

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.

See other O's on ABC Wednesday.

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!

My hair is longer

I've been letting my hair grow and now I am wearing dangling earrings rather than post ones. I bought this little hand in an Indian shop, but it appears I should have gotten a bigger one...

Am still in the US due to a pressing family matter.

Happy Easter!

Yesterday my mother, daughter, son-in-law, and I colored eggs, and here they are! Which one do you want?

Happy Easter to all of you, and thanks for your comments and thoughts while I am in the US for a few more months on a family matter.

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.

Am in the US until July on a family matter.

Bleeding hearts

I loved these flowers that used to grow in my grandmother's garden. These were photographed at a nursery I visited with my daughter, who's doing some landscaping.

What's your favorite flower? And for those of you who speak another language, what do you call them?

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.

See what others have done with the letter N on ABC WEDNESDAY.

Am in the US on a family matter for a couple more months.

STROLLING BY THE CHURCH

I sneaked several shots of this young woman who was non-chalantly strolling by St. Marko's church downtown.
