Four doors

A bit of Seattle symmetry for you. I almost felt like waiting to see if four identical people would emerge simultaneously.

ABC WEDNESDAY=="U" is for "unusual"

A feathered chandelier is indeed unusual. At least I've never seen one before. This one hangs in a boutique on Queen Anne hill in Seatte.

Clam Chowder

I love a good clam chowder....and oyster crackers.

Boomer

Boomer is new to the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle. His creator is the same sculptor that made the Pike Place Market's Rachel the Pig.  You can read about Boomer right here.

THEME DAY--ZEST!

Oh, to be a kid again, though my inner child is alive and well, believe me.  Here's my grandson Luka, who is largely responsible for my lack of visits to your blogs...  He's definitely enjoying himself here in this zestful moment.

I've noticed that I don't appreciate swinging as when a child....it kind of makes me nauseated....but I don't mind pushing.

Here's where to see other Theme Day posts.

WEEKEND REFLECTION--in Gig Harbor

Had lunch with some friends the other day in Gig Harbor, and these were reflections of nearby pines in the water.

See other reflections on James' WEEKEND REFLECTIONS.

SKYWATCH--the mobile

I think this mobile is really cool.  I think it probably might even make some kind of noise, but it wasn't windy, and I was walking my daughter's dogs, so didn't linger.

Check out other skies on SKYWATCH.

He who sits and watches

Bought this gargoyle for my mother's garden, but he now resides in my daughter and son-in-law's front lawn.  He never seems to tire of the view....the fragrant Spanish lavender is a treat.

ABC WEDNESDAY "T": is for "Tired"

Tired it is, when you're an energetic two-year-old. My grandson Luka is all tuckered out in this photo and soon will hit the sack, not the ottomans you see here.

Spitbugs!

Spitbugs are something I remember from my childhood in Pennsylvania....running through the field behind our house and having my legs 'spat upon' by these little guys (gals) who lay their eggs in what looks like saliva.  You can read about spitbugs if you click here.

Haiku are taking a break until I return to Belgrade!

What the heck?

Here I am posting from Seattle, but the Fates are not with me.  Every now and then, and this post is a case in point, Blogger chooses to post my photos upside down or sideways....  I've tried to rotate them myself in such a way that I hope when they upload they'll be correct, but to no avail.  Googling sent me to a site telling me to go to my blog's Picasa Web Album and rotate it.  The link given gives me an 'Internal Error' message.

Anyone know how to resolve this?  I'd really like to post the rest of my Seattle photos right side up...

(Haikus on hold for a while.)
