The Last Supper

So here I am, posting two rainbow-hued photos in a row. This mural in downtown Bellingham is a contemporary take on a well-known old painting, "The Last Supper" by Leonardo da Vinci. This version is by artist Connie Porter. I walk by it often, and it always brightens my day.

Duty


This dog had pretty well tired himself of swimming after the tennis ball and came over to say hello. Concerned that his dog would shake himself dry on us, the owner threw the ball again in an attempt to draw him away. The dog stood for a moment and eyed the floating ball with tired eyes, but after some coaxing performed the duty he knew he must.

The Lap of Luxury

The Lighthouse Suite at the Hotel Bellwether stands watch over the Bellingham Marina.

A stand alone unit, the suite has two living floors and a private observation deck on the third floor. This hotel "room" is 900 square feet - about 200 more than our first house!

Skywatch Friday: Silhouetted by the Sunset

This statue of a fisherman at Zuanich Point Park is in honor of those we've lost at sea, and a physical prayer that all others will return safely home. The softly lit islands in the background are Lummi on the left and Orcas on the right.

Mossy Steps


green moss-kissed steps
so vibrant on their own
does it matter where they go?

Who cares about a groundhog's shadow?

It has rarely dipped below freezing here all winter. Now with the early arrival of birds and blossoms, it not only feels like spring, it looks like it too.
