I love lemon

Today the weather, for the most part, was good. Sunny skies!  I treated myself to this sunny lemon tart at the Pike Place Market.

Sorry....

Sorry I've missed a few posts....been going around with my daughter and son, and not much an eye out for photos...but hope to get back on track.

WEEKEND REFLECTION - In the eye of the beholder....

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder....and here I am in my little grandson's eye.  (wink)

Seattle's Seven Hills

Seattle boasts seven hills. This photo of a mosaic column was taken on Queen Anne Hill.

I always think of Rome when I hear 'seven hills,' but it appears that there are quite a few cities that claim to be built on seven hills. Check out this link.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"O" is for "objets d'art"

When I'm in Seattle, one of my favorite stores to browse through (and yes, sometimes buy something) is World Market. I used to have a collection of teapots in unusual shapes and once-upon-a-time would have bought one of these.  I've downsized and kept only a few of my collection.

I've been to the Taj Mahal and the Eiffel Tower, and the elephant one here reminds me of Atlantic City's Lucy the Elephant  that my grandfather and I visited several times when I was little.

Lovely OBJETS D'ART, but these remained unpurchased by me.

Everyone's got one

Everyone's got one. Not a Smart Car, but an IQ.

Is this 'smart' car's IQ high or low?

A long spring

It's darn cold.  I left Belgrade, where it was just getting nice and warm, and now I'm practically back in woolies again.

Sunday morning breakfast....

A very unhealthy one to be sure, but I haven't had a doughnut in ages.

Green and wet

Jet-lagged, but in the Emerald City and it's raining.  This photo shows green and raindrops!  

Off again visiting,,,,

Barely touched down on Serbian soil after India and am now off to visit my daughter and family in Seattle for about two months.

Leaving little Mila  in Belgrade for a while to cuddle with her cousin Luka in Seattle.

Peanut, peanut....

I envied this fellow. I'm not good at sneaking up on or luring squirrels, but he was. They seem to think my camera is some sort of firearm and run away I sneaked the bottom shot with my long lens.

I'll be posting from Seattle on Friday for about two months. Visiting daughter and family!
