SKYWATCH FRIDAY-classic Seattle

Not much imagination involved on this shot; it's classic Seattle. A view of the Space Needle from near my daughter's house. Hand-held...I was so still....and pushed the ISO.

Check out other skies at SKYWATCH.

In the US for a while longer.

Invite your friends for a drink

My daughter treated me to an early Mother's Day excursion to Portland last weekend. I'd never seen fountains like this before. You can invite your friends for a drink, or strike up conversation with a thirsty stranger.

In the US on a pressing family matter.

ABC WEDNESDAY "P" is for "pushmepullyou"

Dr. Doolittle's truck? It does remind me of his pushmepullyou....

Earning a living

Earning a living or just some spare change, I'm not sure. But I watched this fellow for about a minute until the light changed and off I went.

In US on a family issue.

Shaggy

Cute, huh? And he reminds me that I really need to go get a haircut.... I do my own chin waxing and brows...

Still in US for a family matter.

THEME DAY--Mailboxes

This is the C.S. Wilke house in Seattle's Queen Anne neighborhood. It dates from 1898. I love it.

I'll bet the mailman brought the mail directly to their door once-upon-a-time, and didn't place it in the black mailbox to the left of the gate.

I'm still in Seattle for a family issue, which I'm only now beginning to see progress in. So sorry I can't visit you all regularly for the moment. I won't forget you!

REFLECTIONS WEEKEND- The doggies in the window

Not much of a reflection here, but couldn't resist posting this. Just goes to show you that you should always have your camera ready. Caught these cuties while stopped at a red light. Thank goodness for automatic windows; down mine went and snap, snap. Their owner was only too happy to have these pups pose.

Blue, blue

Blue, blue....is the sky over Henderson Bay,

Tooth 'ache'

This is Baby Amel, the daughter of friends. You can see she's cutting a tooth...on her father's thumb...

In the US on a family issue.

ABC WEDNESDAY "O" is for "old"

I pulled over to take this photo of these shutters and matching moss on this old house near Kopachuck Park in Washington state.

There's even a matching daffodil.

Cat who swallowed the canary?

Maybe not the canary, but a finch or a crow or a red-winged blackbird? This beautiful cat lives in Birds Unlimited in Gig Harbor, Washington. He is a rescue cat....what a great place to live for a cat, though I imagine the birds steer clear of him. No birds for sale anyway in the store, just things bird-related like feeders and birdbaths!
