SUNDAY BRIDGES - Victoria, B.C.

The Johnson Street Bridge in Victoria, B.C.  Daughter and I came up for an overnighter in this quaint city.

Didn't cross the bridge....

WEEKEND REFLECTION--the house in the mirror

Old house in need of repair with a mirror to reflect the house in better shape across the street.

SKYWATCH--through a saltdrop window

Took the Victoria Clipper from Seattle to Victoria, B.C. (2.5 hours) this past weekend with my daughter.  A view of the sun through a saltdrop window...

P.S. When I linked to Skywatch, I learned that yesterday, June 20th, in 1837 Queen Victoria ascended to the throne of England. Great Britain and Ireland She reigned for 63 years and seven months.

Red Robin

Nothing stunning about this photo of a robin, but it's just to tell you that the little Pine Sisken, which I showed you right here last May,was successfully rehabilitated by PAWS and released into the wild!

A happy ending.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"W" is for "wonderful"

A really bad cop-out for W....  But these macaroons, a chocolate and pistachio in the back and a lemon in front, were awfully good.  Washed down with a cappuccino at Seattle's Le Panier bakery at Pike Place Market.  My daughter and I shared them, so don't think I pigged out...though I'm quite capable of it.

La brebis qui rit

This happy ewe that belongs to a friend of my daughter's reminded me of the famous Laughing Cow.  All she needs is similar earrings.

SUNDAY BRIDGES--flashback to India

A flashback to my recent trip to India last March. Here we see a cow (actually, it may be a bull....) crossing the Lakshman Jhula bridge over the Ganges in Rishikesh.

WEEKEND REFLECTION--homemade brandies

I have a Serbian friend here in Seattle who has lived here as long as I've lived in Serbia. Her husband, now retired, devotes part of his time to making homemade brandy and when we had them for dinner the other evening, guess what they brought....from back to front there's apricot brandy, cherry brandy, and grape....

SKYWATCH--You go your way; I'll go mine.

A helicopter and an airplane off in different directions over Seattle, on a sunny day, hurrah.

See other skies on SKYWATCH.

I see you; don't think I don't.

I find it awfully hard to sneak up on a cat. I wasn't even sneaking up on my daughter's neighbor's cat, who was perched on his window street across the yard. I zoomed in from our kitchen window, but to no avail. There he was staring right back....
