ABC Wednesday "Z" is for "zoomed in"

Like I said yesterday, I'm never bored with my camera, and so, while waiting for the never-to-arrive bus yesterday, I zoomed in on this lady across the street from me.

Her bus came.

Waiting at the bus stop....

I waited over an hour and a half for the Number 4 bus the other day....never came; no other bus drivers knew anything about it. Nothing posted. So I walked back to my daughter's place, a good walk, and I managed to dodge the rain. She told me most people check if there's transit disruption on their Iphones....which I do not have....

Anyway, I'm never bored with my camera.

Surreal

A bit surreal anyway.  These sculptures (and they're either standing or sitting) at Seattle's Westlake plaza are just begging for a photo, and so....  Love the blue trees, too.

Sunday Bridges--Bridging two buildings

A member of Seattle's mounted police crosses the street, with a bridge linking two buildings in the background.

See other bridges at Louis La Vache's SUNDAY BRIDGES.

WEEKEND REFLECTION--Don't be 'koi'.

The word 'coy' is defined as 'tending to avoid people or social situations; reserved,' but these Japanese koi fish are anything but reserved. They, along with a number of their friends, were rushing the little wooden bridge I passed over at Seattle's Japanese Garden, hoping I'd purchased some fish food at the ticket booth.  Sorry to say I hadn't, but will next time....

SKYWATCH--the high horse

I've often admired this horse head on a wall facing west along the highway toward the viaduct in Belltown here in Seattle. I researched it, and the best explanation I found was on a post by Chuck Pefley back in 2009.

Quelle Bouffe?

You choose...do you want to eat at La Grande Bouffe or at La Petite Bouffe?  Actually, you can't do either, since they're not there anymore. Just the sign.  However, you can still probably rent the 1973 French film La Grande Bouffe, in which a group of friends gather together with the sole purpose of eating themselves to death. Eating French food wouldn't be a bad way to go, if you had to.

ABC Wednesday - "Y" is for "You like it-- it likes you"

I'm showing my age, but I remember 7-Up's slogan "You like it-it likes you" from when I was a child. It's not in use anymore.  Looking up the slogan, I came across this informative site where you can read about 7-Up's slogans through its history.

What's your favorite soft drink?  And Happy Fourth of July to all Americans.

Lace leggings!

Couldn't resist snapping this girl as she crossed the street in downtown Seattle.  Perhaps you remember these Belgrade legs from last November?

Ready for a wedding

Not quite his wedding yet, but my daughter's son, Luka, now six weeks old, attended a wedding and got all spruced up for the occasion.

THEME DAY-Chimneys

 

I always think Santa must be awfully frustrated with these little covers....

Seems like the portal is down again, but this post was for July 1st Theme Day, which is chimneys!!
