You and me against the world...

I felt sorry for this mother duck. All she had with her was this one little duckling...

ABC WEDNESDAY "W" is for "Water Drops"

Splash, and I gotcha! My son-in-law, who recently purchased the same camera as I have, and I have been practicing taking photos of water drops. I'd always thought this was really hard to do, but we followed the directions in the recent edition of Petersen's Photographic fun projects and it wasn't hard at all. You can also find instructions online.

Two landmarks

A totem pole in Elliott Bay Park stands in contrast to Seattle's Space Needle.

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....

Reflections Weekend--waiting to be filled

Three bowls awaiting raspberries. See me?

See more reflections, but not mine, at James' REFLECTIONS WEEKEND.

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!
