Green-bellied...

This airplane seemed to have taken off from Boeing Field here in Seattle. Perhaps it is on a test run and is a plane to be exported to some foreign airline? Never saw any green-bellied planes here.

Anybody know?

SUNDAY BRIDGES--from the car again....

....but I was not driving this time. Took this from the back seat while returning from Lake Chelan, Washington. Not a very pretty bridge, nor a great shot either. I think I do better while driving....

SKYWATCH FRIDAY--Friday Harbor, Washington


Pretty dark... I took this photo before going to bed in a little trailer on my friends' property in Friday Harbor, on San Juan Island, Washington. It's pretty dark when you turn the lights out. Visible is their little house.

Rubbing the satin

This little hand belongs to my good friend's grandson. I had a blanket just like this when I was little and can remember rubbing the satin while I went to sleep.

Did you have a favorite something to sleep with?

ABC WEDNESDAY "V" is for "vicinage"

"Vicinage" means 'neighborhood" and in Seattle you have buildings and streets and in the 'vicinage' of the mountains, you've got skiing and Bigfoot! I've been meaning to take a photo of this mural on NE 90th Street in Seattle for quite some time, but there had always been cars parked in front of it. Finally did! It's located in a very congested 'vicinage'.

Hmm...I'm confused...

Hmm.... I must admit I peeked through the window to see if this cafe was open or closed. Closed!

"No more pencils, no more books....

.....no more teachers' dirty looks!" I remember saying that when I was a kid the moment school was out, which it is this week, in most places. Here's to the grads and to those who 'simply' made it through one more year. These little antennae decorations are happy!

Sunday Bridges--Marmot Bridge, Oregon

Hard-pressed for a bridge photo again and despite the title, I am not in Oregon, but rather in Lake Chelan, in Eastern Washington, where I spotted this marmot outside the local Wal*Mart with a few members of his family.

A Google search revealed to me that there's great white-water rafting at Marmot Bridge, Oregon, so that's how this post qualifies for today's meme, or sort of.

See some real bridges at Louis la Vache's Sunday Bridges.

Blood, sweat, or tears?


None of the above in the title. Rain....but it does look like red tears, I think.

SKYWATCH--setting sun at Elliott Bay Park

Just a pretty shot, nothing more, of a man silhouetted at Elliott Bay Park.

BEARDED

Of course people can choose their hairstyle and in a man's case, beard style. Personally, I do not mind beards, but for me they have to ...
