The 15th Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival closes tonight, means I get my woman back. Anyway last night I got to go behind the scenes into the projection space at Pacific Place, like six movies rolling at once from various media cool shit!

big ass bags of Orville's Best...

nice view of some neon from the lobby

grl thinks the carpet is too NOISY?

i"ll be back

I cross the 520 bridge twice a day now 5 days a week and I pass by this park twice a day so I decided to get off the hwy and go for a walk......wow!  This place is loaded!

 

The footbridge taking you over to Marsh and Foster Islands is the start of a superb little walk. My first time walking through this park and it was mid day, colors are a bit muted this time of year and I can only imagine the birds that must hang here!

the bridge is kinda fun it moves around a bit

this growth in the water freaked me out a little bit, I was thinking Dead Marshes.

took a short walk to the grocery Saturday morning, the beginning of a rainy weekend and a colorful Fall in Seattle

Every Wednesday Gina picks up a bag of produce from Tiny's Organic, it has been very fruit heavy and occassionally we get stuff we have no idea what the hell it is but it's usually very pretty, not always tasty...

sunday morning walk to the farmers market in search of veggies we don't get from Tinys, the wall thats been put up around the worksite on Capitol Hill is a designated art stop now

 nice colors at the market, I got some beets, my favorite veggie!

 more art on the wall, the beginnings I hope, of a portrait done with bottle caps

lots of fat in this collection.

something curious about this designation...

fall!

soon Gina will be unavailable to non film fest people.



September

Took another ride out to Spokanistan, there are some new wind turbines really close to the road now

Bud is Mom & Leos happy cat..

we drove home through the cascades and stopped in Leavenworth, the pastries here are special! I think this is an apricot something...

fog in the mountains

a week later we were in New Orleans sitting on the north shore of Lake Ponchartrain

I spotted a blue crab checkin' out a can

at first I thought this was a mop head but it appears to be a piece of rope thats come undone

and a large cricket that wanted his photo taken.

more tales from the trail

oh how I love these birds! Last week I got lucky and saw herons two days in a row, you have to really pay attention to spot them 'cause they are so still. The water is starting to get low so I fear my viewing days are growing short.

I've read that their plumage gets longer as they age.

The creek gets drier while blackberries have shed their flowers & start to look more like snacks.

One morning it was cool out and a little foggy on the pond, I almost missed this heron. I think it's a younger bird.

the same moring just after passing the pond I saw this bundle of fuzz on top of the water in the creek, three maybe four little ducklings huddled together.

New Space

We have a pretty decent view for now, who knows what construction will come..I love lines and we certainly have many beautiful ones here.

we have a couple of spider webs on the balcony that are pretty fun to look at...

we have some of the plants here now, we'll see how they like the northern light

this was the first friday morning i've slept in here, and really the fukn news helicopters! I took this from my bed about 6 am.

the beginning of many shots from our room and the roof.
