Reflections Weekend: "I dig skinny guys," says she, "and their dogs!"

The girl on the poster is eying this fellow and his dog. Other dog out of sight was a greyhound, too..... They say people resemble their dogs... I'm wondering how I look like Bibi; no underbite!

Again, snapped this at a red light; reflection and all.

SKYWATCH--Big sky, big sign...

Sunny skies today, to continue through the weekend, or so they tell me. This is Seattle's University District Department of Licensing, where I had to go to put my mother's car in my daughter's name. Their billboard on the left is just about the same surface area of the 'department'.

See other skies, perhaps unhampered by signs, at SKYWATCH FRIDAY.

Once Upon a Mattress....

I get such a kick out of seeing people dressed up advertising products on street corners. So far this trip I've seen a pizza, a hot dog, a Statue of Liberty, and an Uncle Sam. What's next?

This fellow was more than happy to wave to me when I snapped him at a red light.

Theme Day: "Under construction" and ABC Wednesday: T=Terrific

My "Under construction" entry is my first grandchild! Also, making it a double-header for the letter T on ABC WEDNESDAY, here is my daughter-in-law, Jelena, who looks "Terrific".

We know what the latest family addition is, but you'll have to wait until the end of July/early August....!

Tide Pool

Back in Seattle where it's still not warm enough for me! But I do enjoy walking along Seattle's man beaches, like this one in Carkeek Park.

One in a million....

I am now back in Seattle after my three-week road trip through California.

Today would have been my late husband's sixty-fourth birthday, but I lost him nearly three years ago. Like the white tulip above, he was truly one in a million.... I'll miss him forever.

Somewhere on Highway 395

Drove 10 hours today from Bishop, California, to Redding, California..... Took this from the car, rested camera on my shoulder..... I feel like I should write a warning like those stuntmen-car ads: "Do not attempt this at home." If it's any consolation, my eyes never left the road, but my camera was looking in the other direction.

Mule Days, Bishop, California

Mule Days take place every year in Bishop, California, with donkeys, mules, and horses descending on this small town from all over the USA and even Canada. This year's participation was only slightly smaller than usual, given the outbreak of the equine virus, deadly to horses but not mules, although the latter can carry and spread the disease.

SKYWATCH--The Sierra Wave

My friend told me this cloud formation is a Sierra Wave. In any case, it was worth the shot.

See other clouds and skies on SKYWATCH FRIDAY.

Wild irises and tame horses

Am now in Bishop, California, in the Eastern Sierras, visiting another high school friend. This is my third trip to Bishop, and I love it more each time. In this photo you can see the Sierras, some tame horses, and wild irises.

ABC WEDNESDAY "S" is for 'Squadron"

A flock of sheep, a school of fish, and ....a squadron of pelicans? I don't think so, but that's what this formation made me think of.
