Nothing like a spot of graffiti to spark the midweek doldrums.“Peace, have a good day”. I keep thinking that one day I will run across a bit of wisdom displayed in someone’s well thought out graffiti or street art. Not something as vague as: ” the end is near’. But, rather, just a tidbit of something that shows me some insight and mental prowess; something I can take with me to ponder over. So far,
no such luck.
I’ll be looking, though. I don’t understand the “3.7” in the first image. I would understand: 3.14, pi as a universally understood mathematical statement, but……3.7?
The rollerblader reminded me of a song by Dire Straits, with a title something like “Skateaway”. Seeing all of those bucket lifts in one place reminded me of the herding instinct. I guess it makes good advertising sense to leave them in a position that can be seen from a distance.
Classic Rolls Royce spotted along the Ruston Trail near Commencement Bay, Tacoma, Wa. This Rolls was parked in a lot belonging to a law firm. “Follow the money”, as the saying goes. Reminds me of the TV show ‘Burke’s Law‘ (1963-1965), a show about a LA Homicide detective who rode around in a Silver Cloud, I believe. I guess I have dated myself :-).
What would a nature trail be without high tension power lines? The Interurban Trail probably started out as a maintenance road for the power company and morphed, over time, into something the public could use.
Yesterday we took a day trip to Sunrise, on the east side of Mt. Rainier. As you can see it was a beautiful day! Will be posting more from this day in the future.
Views of cyclists, tree limbs broken from high winds and apartment complex perched precariously on a hillside above a gravel pit were seen this day along the GR Trail.
A section of the Interurban Trail, not as scenic as the Green River Trail, that is straight and flat. A large portion of the Green River Trail is closed due to flood abatement efforts. The trail has turned into a six foot wall of sandbags covered in black plastic.
These images were shot from a long distance along the Green River. The adult and child were fishing right below the eagle’s nest, at a bend in the river.
