Snake handlers at the Pike Place Market. Of course, even the tattoo relates to their passion or …..whatever it may be called. Pretty sure I would pass on the chance to hold one of these guys.

Note to followers…

Note to followers: I will be traveling 4 of the next 5 weeks. Two of those weeks I will be in NY visiting family and friends. Most of this time I will not be able to post anything, with the exception of Oct. 5th. Please don’t think I have fallen off of the face of the earth, converted to a higher energy form or “un-follow” me. I will return and, with luck, have much to post and share.Thanks for your patience.-Bluestar2012-

Adjacent to the 8th Ave. Park is a scrapyard that is protected by fencing, razor wire, guard dogs, cameras, etc. My bank should have this much security!

Just for the record, I will not mourn the passing fad of Instagram. Looking at photos as if they were shot in the 1960’s using a cheap, plastic Kodak camera and overexposed in a dime store processing machine is…..( can’t find the exact word– want to say offensive, but…..). These images seem to actually hurt both my eyes and my visual sensibility.
