SKYWATCH--the clock tower

A drive-by shooting, but I was a passenger.  The clock tower on (I think) Seattle's train station.

See other skies on SKYWATCH.

I wonder...

 I wonder how Vincent van Gogh would react today by seeing his artwork used in advertising cheese. 

ABC WEDNESDAY --"S" is for "sailboats"

And you thought it was hard to park your car.

Sailboats in a Seattle marina.

See other S's at ABC WEDNESDAY.

Resting

This cat sat on this gate for a long time. I'm always amazed at their ability to sit somewhere so seemingly uncomfortable for any length of time.

Not plums

Not plums, but bite-size, multi-colored tomatoes. Yum; they were good.

Sunday Bridges--to Magnolia

The bridge to the Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle!

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

REFLECTION WEEKEND--More Chihuly

Another stunning example of Dale Chihuly's glass artworkSee yesterday's post.)  I absolutely love this boat, loaded with 'marbles', and its reflection is just as beautiful.

See other reflections at James' WEEKEND REFLECTION.

SKYWATCH--The Space Needle and Chihuly

You'll recognize the Space Needle for sure, but perhaps not the glass (yes, glass) succulent, of which I was only able to capture from this angle.

Took this photograph the other day when I went to see the Dale Chihuly exhibit at Seattle Center. It was absolutely fantastic, and I'll post another tomorrow for Weekend Reflection. See other skies on SKYWATCH.

Watch the birdie Part II

Not exactly the same size as the bird I showed you last Wednesday," but this little guy was in danger of getting squished on Seattle's Green Lake biking/jogging/walking/rollerskating trail.  My daughter and I, who found him while walking around the lake, whisked him off to PAWS to be taken care of.  They promised us an update on how he's doing, so I'll be sure to let you know.

UPDATE from June 18th:  PAWS wrote that this little Pine Sisken was successfully rehabilitated and released into the wild!  A happy ending.

ABC WEDNESDAY - "R" is for "rhubarb"

I am not a fan of rhubarb. I will eat it if you make some for me, especially in a strawberry pie, but I never buy it in any form.

But I do love its colors...

See other R's on ABC WEDNESDAY.

Watch the birdie!

I've shown you this bird about two years ago right here. That time you could see only part of the sculpture, but here's the whole birdie.
