ABC WEDNESDAY--"U" is for "Underwater...Under a watchful eye..."

I was first attracted by this man's attire...I thought he had tattoos all over, but it's just the camouflage design. He was using some sort of underwater metal detector, under the watchful eye of a seagull. Occasionally he's scoop up something in a small metal bucket, sort through, then begin again.

Taken at Seattle's Green Lake.

It was only a matter of time....

It was only a matter of time until my grandson found out he could fit through the doggie door....

The Red Mailbox

I love this red mailbox.  If you have a mailbox like this, is it some jazzy color or just gray?  If I had one, I'd paint it in some fanciful way.

Sunday Bridges---the bridge to be

That concrete structure that seems to be floating in the water will be part of a new bridge to alleviate the load on Seattle's current floating bridge, the  SR 520.

Read more about it right here.

And while you're at it, check out other bridges on Louis La Vache's  SUNDAY BRIDGES.

THEME DAY--Beauty in decay

Just the skeleton's left of this leaf...

SKYWATCH--through the window

Dinner the other evening at a local marina....through the window.

See other skies on SKYWATCH.

NOTE:  I've just disabled Word Verification.  I know it is a major pain in the behind, but I had been getting so many anonymous and unrelated comments. I'll give it a try without it for a while and see.

Pinwheels are forever

Today would have been my husband's 66th birthday.  He passed away in 2008, far too early.  He loved pinwheels, since he always said that was the toy that his parents always bought him when they went to the seashore. 

Wish he were here....

ABC WEDNESDAY "T" is for tree

A tree that once was.  I've seen this stump decorated several times before. There was once even a small plaque on it, saying the tree had succumbed to some disease.  The plaque seems to be gone, but it is often decorated with flowers, in memory.

Red Finch

 A house finch, a red one, spotted at my inlaws' bird feeder.  Read about him

here.

Smelts

Do you like smelts?  I do. In Belgrade they're gutted and lightly fried.  I even eat the heads....

These were photographed at Seattle's Pike Place Market.

P.S.  Ah, lest I fib to you...I remembered  this post where I didn't eat the heads....

SUNDAY BRIDGES

 

Mount Rainier rises in the distance behind  Safeco Field and the Alaskan Way Viaduct.  Hope this viaduct counts as a bridge because I'm linking to SUNDAY BRIDGES.
