SKYWATCH---an errant full moon over the Cascades

A beautiful full moon over the Cascades here in Washington. Thanks to Photoshop for placing the moon there.....if Nature did not,

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--under parasols

"Real" Seattlites don't carry umbrellas....so I imagine these folks were tourists and using their 'parasols' to shield themselves from some sunny Seattle skies.

See other reflections on James' WEEKEND REFLECTIONS.

SKYWATCH--Seattle Center

I've forgotten what these are called....but when the wind blows they make a sort of music....

ABC WEDNESDAY--"A" is for (not an) ACCIDENT

Not an accident. Just chillin', since he must be 'all done in'....  Tired from the lines to go up the Space Needle!

This is why.....

Several of you have written to ask why I haven't begun to post again since my last post in (May!).

The above photo is partly why. There are two missing grandhildren and my whole family is here in Seattle until Aug. 7th.....then back to Belgrade where I really will begin to post again shortly after my arrival.

Thanks for your concern, and check back!

Taking a break....

Taking to the skies again.....won't be posting for two weeks or so!

SKYWATCH--sunset in Montreal

A tiny flashback from my trip to Montreal last week.

The Stumbling Monk

Always intrigued by names of pubs....  This is in Seattle, but such names abound worldwide.

ABC WEDNESDAY--R is for Recreation

Originally I planned R for 'rowing,' but he's paddling his board here on Green Lake in Seattle. So Recreation it is.

See other R's on Mrs. Nesbitt's ABC WEDNESDAY.

Blue in Seattle

Looks blue and has hair to go with her mood....

La Poutine

The hearty dish many Quebecois love to it is poutine (poo-TEEN).  The classic version (in the photo closest to you) is with fries, nicely seasoned gravy, and cheese curds (sometimes some sort of cheddar, but often a mozzarella-type cheese).

I couldn't very well leave Montreal without trying one, and as you might guess, that's the only big meal I had that day.  In the background you can see my friend chose a more elaborate one, and she ate it all.....
