SUNDAY BRIDGES--Bridge to Nordstrom's

 I love to see and to cross over bridges like this one in downtown Seattle.

See other bridges at Louis La Vache's Sunday Bridges.

WEEKEND REFLECTION--the waiting room

Snapped this photo (see me?) while my daughter and baby Luka were waiting for his check-up.  Luka has gained 2 1/2 pounds in three weeks.

Happy Bastille Day to all my French readers!

SKYWATCH--Seattle's Great Wheel

This is Seattle's new Great Wheel, which you can read about right here. I didn't have time to take a ride (only $13- for an adult), but will definitely do so next time.

I took this shot from Pike Place Market's Soundview Cafe.  I waited over a hummus plate for quite a while until that seagull flew by to enhance my shot.

A face in the crowd....

See anyone you know?  You should!  These little famous figures were in a store window at the Pike Place Market.  I didn't go in to ask how much they were, since I'd be tempted to buy one...or many.

Which one would you choose?

ABC Wednesday "Z" is for "zoomed in"

Like I said yesterday, I'm never bored with my camera, and so, while waiting for the never-to-arrive bus yesterday, I zoomed in on this lady across the street from me.

Her bus came.

Waiting at the bus stop....

I waited over an hour and a half for the Number 4 bus the other day....never came; no other bus drivers knew anything about it. Nothing posted. So I walked back to my daughter's place, a good walk, and I managed to dodge the rain. She told me most people check if there's transit disruption on their Iphones....which I do not have....

Anyway, I'm never bored with my camera.

Surreal

A bit surreal anyway.  These sculptures (and they're either standing or sitting) at Seattle's Westlake plaza are just begging for a photo, and so....  Love the blue trees, too.

Sunday Bridges--Bridging two buildings

A member of Seattle's mounted police crosses the street, with a bridge linking two buildings in the background.

WEEKEND REFLECTION--Don't be 'koi'.

The word 'coy' is defined as 'tending to avoid people or social situations; reserved,' but these Japanese koi fish are anything but reserved. They, along with a number of their friends, were rushing the little wooden bridge I passed over at Seattle's Japanese Garden, hoping I'd purchased some fish food at the ticket booth.  Sorry to say I hadn't, but will next time....

SKYWATCH--the high horse

I've often admired this horse head on a wall facing west along the highway toward the viaduct in Belltown here in Seattle. I researched it, and the best explanation I found was on a post by Chuck Pefley back in 2009.

Quelle Bouffe?

You choose...do you want to eat at La Grande Bouffe or at La Petite Bouffe?  Actually, you can't do either, since they're not there anymore. Just the sign.  However, you can still probably rent the 1973 French film La Grande Bouffe, in which a group of friends gather together with the sole purpose of eating themselves to death. Eating French food wouldn't be a bad way to go, if you had to.
