It really does rain in Seattle

I'm here in Seattle for a few days and it rained cats and dogs all day today. We tried to do some indoor stuff. The Seattle Art Museum doesn't allow photography except for this silly lobby with cars hanging from the ceiling.

Had a walk through Pike Place Market.


Here's the Starbucks store number one:

I couldn't photograph the art in the museum, so here's a glass sculpture in the hotel.

I'd be smiling too if I was eating Ellen's Ice Cream.

High Voltage


I don't often post photos here that I do for "work". I thought you might like to see this one. Don't ask me what these things are. I forgot to ask. The company makes high voltage test equipment. By the way, the dandelion photo was taken in front of this building. Is this a theme perhaps?

Punch Line


A long time ago I remember the comedian Dennis Miller doing a joke about West Virginia and the punch line was "there are guys over there building additions onto mobile homes!" At the time, it made me angry, but I've learned to have a sense of humor about such matters. After all, it's not like he was making it up.

Mystery #80


Do you know what this is? Post your guesses in the comments.

UPDATE: Yep, it's a mushroom. I shot this on the same bike ride as the turtle. I was kind of startled to see the mushroom because it was a big as a softball. Here's a shot from turtle's-eye level:

Turtles on the Trail



Went mountain biking yesterday. The turtles are on the move. For some reason this time of year they like to get on the trail and sit right in the middle of it. It's dangerous... for them and me. These are two different turtles.

Reflections

I think this one below looks like a face... something from Halloween?


This one looks like Chinese language characters.
