Bigger than life

This is one of three very large statues in the vicinity (No surprise!) of the Space Needle in downtown Seattle.

What does its expression say to you?

In Seattle on family matters.

SUNDAY BRIDGES--small, but mighty

These police boats on Lake Union under the Aurora bridge may look small, but they're mighty! Doing their duty daily!

See more bridges on LOUIS LA VACHE'S SUNDAY BRIDGES.

Still in Seattle on a family matter.

REFLECTIONS WEEKEND--flaming!

I was intrigued by these flames in a restaurant on Queen Anne hill. I was snapping away when a waitress appeared at the door. Darn, I thought, she's going to ask me not to. But no! I was invited in for their promotion to have a complimentary coffee and pastry....so in I went.

Still here in the US on a family matter.

SKYWATCH FRIDAY--stormy skies over daffodils

Stormy skies over a field of daffodils in La Conner, Washington.... This area is known for its fields of tulips, but few were open. It's a late spring!

It's coming......

The sun is coming, slowly but surely..... April showers bring May flowers, and we certainly have had our share of rain in Seattle. These flowers appeared before May, but others are still late in coming.


In Seattle for a family matter.

ABC WEDNESDAY "M" is for "Man, that's cool."

"Man, that's really cool!" is what this fish might be saying. Dig those shades....

See other M's on ABC WEDNESDAY.

In USA for family issue.

Not fancy, but pretty.

This little bird wasn't at all camera shy. Nice colors, even if they're not bright.

In the US due to family problem.

Chess or not?

Early one morning at the Pike Place Market I watched this fellow set up his chess set...or is it? The figures are not arranged like on a classic chessboard...what is it?

Still in USA on a family matter.

REFLECTIONS WEEKEND--Fill me!

Glasses awaiting beverages at the Salish Lodge in Snoqulamie, Washington.... Who remembersTwin Peaks? See other reflections at Newtown Daily Photo.

SKYWATCH--Hey, the sky is BLUE!!

I'm using scheduled posting for this, but the sky is NOT blue as I type. I liked the juxtaposition of the cloud, tree, and birds on this shot taken around Seattle's Green Lake.

In the US on family business.

Cold, but unstoppable....

Took this photo shortly after my arrival when there was a bit of sun, but that's all some Seattleites need to get out in summer wear. This girl skater reminded me of this one I photographed in Belgrade.

Yesterday it snowed in Everett, 20 or so minutes above Seattle....

I am still in the US on family matters.
