Weekend Reflection--The Japanese Garden

I'd never visited Seattle's Japanese Garden before, located in the Madison district of the city.  Well-worth the visit and it must be gorgeous in the spring.  Lots of turtles and koi, too.

The long and the short of it

Wonder if the other fellow in jeans had tattoos....I'll never know.

ABC Wednesday "X" is for "xx chromosome"

 

"XX" chromosomes is what females have.  Do they have anything to do with a flair for drama?  This is Nora, who was fully enjoying herself at Cannon Beach, Oregon, where she participated in a family reunion.

At the bus stop

These guys were having a good time when I snapped their photo from across the street.

Bratwurst!

Sometimes I want a hot dog or something of that sort.  So this is the Bratwurst that Isaac of Dante's Inferno served me.  I asked for the works, minus mayo, but with jalapeno peppers and all.  Yum.

SKYWATCH FRIDAY--Cannon Beach, Oregon

Went to Cannon Beach, Oregon, for my son-in-law's family reunion.  We spent three days, two of which were warm!  The other one wasn't....

Can you get much redder?

I can't help myself when I see red poppies....they don't do well in a vase, so I take them home in my camera.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"W" is for "warmer"

Gee, no rain today, and it is warmer!
