Gasworks Park, on Lake Union in Seattle, is a unique place. This is a view of a few of the hardware pieces left behind.

Was a very cold week, recently. The crystals were on the side window of one of our cars. The frozen fountain was seen on Beach Drive, near Alki Point. Can you find the bunny rabbit?

The Pacific Science Center pool that was icing up last week. I don’t blame the seagull for not wanting to step in the ‘water’.

Pinkish-lavendar sky with the moon hanging about. Photo taken with an Olympus point and shoot camera 6 years ago. Note the peace symbol on the sail. I was attending a peace rally at Alki Point and this sailboat came by, to the cheers of everyone on shore.

Was out at Carkeek Park in NW Seattle two days ago taking photos of the Whitman M.S. annual picnic. While shooting the students and some of the activities I snuck in a dozen or so photos for myself. I thought this tile work was pretty cool. Tiles

Although some days I feel this age this is actually an address in Post Alley, which I guess is a bit odd in itself.

Moving a little closer the details of the wall start to manifest. There are all sorts of romantic messages, numbers and, well quite a variety of pieces ( no pun intended) that represent a range of thoughts. Close Up

Pedestrian and cyclist in the Pioneer Square area of Seattle. Triangle- topped building in background is Smith Tower. The Smith Tower, at one time, was the tallest building west of the Mississippi River.

Large Lens, Painting or ?

Our grandaughter, Madeleine, standing behind a large lens on the playground set at Lincoln Park, near our home. This image, on one level, looks like a very old photo or painting hanging on a wall. Well, maybe my imagination is getting the better of me? What do you see?
