SKYWATCH - Majestic Mount Rainier

Mount Rainier, or 'the mountain,' as it is known here, rises majestically in the distance. Viewed from Gig Harbor, Washington.

Am in the US until July on a family matter.

Bleeding hearts

I loved these flowers that used to grow in my grandmother's garden. These were photographed at a nursery I visited with my daughter, who's doing some landscaping.

What's your favorite flower? And for those of you who speak another language, what do you call them?

ABC WEDNESDAY-"N" is for "noshing"

Like these pastries? I did...of course not all of them. My daughter and son-in-law noshed on them... Yum.

See what others have done with the letter N on ABC WEDNESDAY.

Am in the US on a family matter for a couple more months.

Relax

I almost bought this little guy....and then decided no more foolish expenditures...but I am still thinking of him, so I may return to the store.

This trip has been stressful...I do need to relax.

In Seattle on a family matter.

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.

See more reflections on James' Reflections Weekend.

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!

Still in the US on a family matter.

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.
