Go Green

A downtown bus stop, the green line is just one of the WTA's lines that have a bus every ten minutes.  Around town there are also red, blue, yellow and plum lines. 



Care to go for a drive?

Leftovers

We had an odd winter day on Sunday. First it was cold and clear, so my family headed over to our garden plot and my daughters fished around in the dirt and this beautiful carrot was found leftover from summer.  Not long after the carrot was discovered a wet snow storm swept through and turned our world white for an hour or so.

Ornamental Grass

I think this ornamental grass is actually prettier in the winter then in the summer.  The red strands pop out in its dormant stage.



Tag!

This is one of the more ambitious tags I've seen on a railroad car. 

I was at a tank car loading facility recently when a railroad employee began cleaning graffiti off the car identification numbers.  He would spray something over the area that needed to be cleaned up and wait several minutes before coming over and scrubbing off the graffiti. The paint rubbed off almost effortlessly, so whatever solvent he used must have been powerful:  I was about twenty feet away and it was making me light headed.

Skyviewing Sculpture

Spring is in the details...

...such as these dewdrops adorning ornamental kale on the campus at Western Washington University.

Round and Round

The ceiling of glowing ornate lights on a children's carousel down at Seattle's waterfront.  I got rather dizzy taking this picture.

Up and Away

This gentlemen gets his kite flying at Zuanich Point Park on a nice breezy afternoon.  Its the best location in town to fly a kite.

Whatcom Falls Walk

My friend Alex, her children, and mine cross the bridge over Whatcom Falls on a wet winter walk of the park.
