SUNDAY BRIDGES--far from home

Seattle is home to many cultures, so perhaps this man feels and is more at home here than in his native land.  He's enjoying a Coke, so.....

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--the baby cup and spoon

This silver baby cup and spoon belonged both to my mother and then to me.  Underneath when I return to Belgrade will be engraved little Mila's name and year born.  You can see me in the spoon....

THEME DAY--Tranquility

A sleeping baby, nothing more tranquil than that, even in the 'arms' of a giant teddy.  If you ever wondered who buys these giant plush toys, now you know.

In Seattle through mid-July, helping daughter with baby Luka, above.

Ain't she a beauty...?

I usually don't pay any attention to cars, but this one was worth a second look...and a photo. I couldn't find any marks to say what it was, so of course I emailed LOUIS LA VACHE to ask him what it was.  He replied, but....I accidentally deleted his email, so Louis, if you're reading this, leave a comment!

ABC WEDNESDAY - 'T' is for 'ten gallon' hat

I think this might be some version of the ten-gallon hat (which only held three liters, I think...).  Spotted this fellow at a local Starbucks while here in Seattle.

Spiky mango....

The kumquats and plantain I recognized, but had to ask what these spiky fruits were...spiky mangoes, I was told.

Waiting for a green light

Last Saturday's reflection was taken while stuck in traffic. This photo was taken while waiting for a green light....son-in-law was driving and I furtively 'shot' this man from the back seat.

Bridge at La Conner

Young love contemplating a bridge at La Conner, Washington.

WEEKEND REFLECTION--while stuck in traffic

I rarely mind being stuck in traffic.  My camera is always with me, so when possible I take advantage of what I can focus on, like this reflection on a building on Denny Street here in Seattle, where I'll be through mid-July.

SKYWATCH--In Seattle, can't you tell?

In Seattle through mid-July; new grandson---see yesterday's post.  Note the snazzy new color of the Space Needle, which is actually the way it was when first constructed.

A little sooner than we thought Part II

Nearly one year ago my daughter-in-law gave birth to little Mila, a little sooner than we'd expected, and lo and behold,now my daughter has done the same with baby Luka, born on May 18th, but was due today.  Now Mila has a little cousin.

I'm now in Seattle, and will be posting from here for a while until my return to Belgrade mid-July.

Sweet dreams.
