The winner of this race was boat#180, the blue sailboat, with #131 coming in a close second. In the second image, in the background, you can see the north side of the Boeing Renton Plant, where all of the 737 models are assembled, including the one parked outside the large door.

RC Regatta: Pt. 1
South Lake Washington on a Saturday morning recently. These sailboats are controlled remotely. The operator of the sailboats controls the rudder and mast with the large RC unit they carry around, guiding their scale model sailboats around a course, just as the full sized versions do. It really takes many of the sailing skills to navigate these boats as it does a full sized version.
Hanging by a Thread
I posted this image on my FaceBook page this morning. Seemed like a good idea to post on the blog as well.
One Last Look at Fungi
I think these images exhaust my current inventory of mushrooms. On to something else!
Fish and Fowl
A look at a small creek in Renton, WA. shared by spawning salmon and ducks. This urban creek looks very polluted with oil runoff from nearby streets and parking lots. I don’t think the salmon made it much further. When the salmon change color it means they are in rapid decline and better find a place to spawn soon.
Stormy Today
The barometer needle has bottomed out on the low side this morning. The wind is blowing the leaves off of the trees and the lights are flickering in our home. These images were taken at Lincoln Park recently.
