Apparently pigs do fly.
Shy Hummingbird
I have a couple of hummingbird feeders just outside my backdoor. I can walk out and watch, without my camera, as the hummingbird partakes of the nectar I blend. If I bring my camera out and just wait, patiently, he/she will either not show up or hides on the backside of the feeder. You can just see his tail feathers in one of the images.
I’m determined to get a shot of this shy or perhaps, sly guy. He really does keep an eye on me while I’m watching him; he’ll stop drinking ( or whatever it is they do) and peek over at me. He’s really diligent about watching his surroundings.
Discovery
Excited to announce a new genus of tree:

Pigs on Parade #1
A few years ago the Pike Place Market celebrated its 100th anniversary. One of the more interesting events surrounding this occasion was called Pigs on Parade. Various sculpted pigs were given out to various artists to decorate/paint as they wished. The Pigs would then be placed at various locations in downtown Seattle. I went around one day and photographed as many as I could find in the time frame I had given myself. So, over the next couple of weeks I will be posting those photos. The Golden pig, in this post, was stationed on top of a building in the Market itself.
Spotted in Georgetown, Seattle
I’m not sure what this was meant to be-Merman or Mermaid or? Some kind of sea creature?
Mystery is part of the fun and charm :-).
Park and Fly
In an effort to reduce on street parking, the City of Seattle has sanctioned rooftop parking for certain vehicles.
Coffee with Charley: Fitting In

Coffee with Charley: Attention Issues
Hard to stay focussed on the crossword puzzle, even if it is Will Shortz’ NY Times version, when there is a PUMPKIN SPICE SCONE on the table!!
Coffee with Charley: Challenges
Being a mouse in a human world has its challenges. Charley has overcome the coffee cup challenge, but the water glass is another matter.
Coffee with Charley
Nice to have a coffee companion to help out with the crossword puzzle. He’s not much of a conversationalist, though.
