Just a girl and her dog…
…and some ice under a blue sky at Lake of the Woods.

Thin ice at Lake of the Woods
Super Bowl Sunday morning at Lake of the Woods… Photo by Ellie.
Lithia Park Duck Pond
I don’t know where all the ducks are in this recent photo, but usually the upper duck pond in Lithia Park is teaming with them. Since returning from Japan, I’ve noticed the duck pond to also be well stocked with koi. Also, the water is no longer green. When did these things happen?
Fun clouds over Ashland
This shot could have been really good had I been on the roof in the lower left corner instead of behind it. I took this from Glenview Drive, near the corner where it meets Hillcrest and Vista, looking north. You can see the Ashland Springs Hotel and the Ashland Elks Lodge, built 101 years ago, in this photo.
The Pike Brewing Co.
We had to kill some time on a weekday morning in Seattle. Not much was open, including the brewery. Tours began at 11 a.m. but we had to be on the other side of town before noon. I was hoping to have time for a tour the following day, but it didn’t work out. A Pike Kilt Lifter has to be good, right?
The Space Needle
A trip to Seattle wouldn’t be complete without the obligatory photo of Seattle’s iconic Space Needle. Last time, they were doing renovations so we couldn’t go to the top. This time, the weather wasn’t clear enough to make the $18 fee seem worth it. Next time…
Veggies at Pike Place Market
For capturing a rich assortment of colors, there is no better place than the Pike Place Market. Look, but in some cases, don’t touch.
Gum Wall
I somehow missed Seattle’s famous gum wall in Post Alley on my prior two visits to Seattle. The amount of gum has apparently grown in the past few years. The scene didn’t surprise me, as I’d seen pictures before, but what I wasn’t expecting was the strong smell of gum. The spectacle, combined with the smell, was grosser than I had imagined.
No flying fish :(
One of the things Pike Place Market is famous for is its fish. When you order the fish they throw the fish from behind the counter to the guy helping you on the other side who wraps it up for you to take away. Well, last week, and for the next couple weeks, there are no flying fish. Instead, there is lots of noisy construction.
Suzzallo Library
I have been in older, larger, more ornate, and far more famous cathedrals before, but I think the Suzzallo Library on the University of Washington’s campus is my favorite. Why? I’m not sure. The lack of tourists? The books instead of religious symbols? I don’t know. The place just felt very magical to me. I felt like rapping people on the back of the head and saying, “How can you study here? How can you keep your eyes on your book and not just look around this glorious space instead?”.
