Winter. Proof.

There’s not a leaf on this one (well, maybe a couple)

 

Leaveless

 

 

Not my tree, so nothing I had to rake up after either, thankfully.

I just liked the way it looked against the clouds. Carry on.

And the category is?

I’ll take THINGS THAT I HATE FOR A THOUSAND, please Alex –

 

Pile O Leaves

 

 

What is, RAKING LEAVES?

And before any of you get all nostalgic and start waxing lyrical about how ‘When I was young, we had to rake 13 miles of leaves, in the snow, uphill, both ways…..’; Zip it. I still hate raking leaves. Plus, it’s been a long time since I was anything close to resembling young. Add in the rain and the dark after work, and it totals up to Sucks-ville. Population 1 – ME!

Only one more tree to go  this winter. Yay! Well that and the entire front yard that has been ignored for 6 or 8 months. But never mind about that for now.

I swear, the next house will have a grand total of ZERO trees on the property. Either that, or it comes with a landscaper.

Just sayin.

 

Sorry about the poor photo, it really was quite dark out. Stretched the limits of the camera, and it shows.

Relax*

Vacation is over, time to get back to work and relax –

 

Relax

 

* 7 am, it was 20 degrees out, & the wind was blowing a bit when this photo was taken. Harder than being at work for certain.

Maybe more from Canada later. Not sure if there’s anything good. We’ll see.

Chamber of Commerce weather

So what do you do with a beaut of a Sunday in the middle of November in Seattle? I’ll tell what I’d do; I’d go have lunch at Ray’s and stare out at this –

 

Ray's view

 

Yup, that’s what I’d do we did. Not so shabby.

Back to normal

Normal around here anyway –

 

Rainy day

 

The view

 

 

And it’s a good thing. I was getting tired of being cold.

They’re BA-ACK!

Clouds that is. Just started rolling in this afternoon  –

 

Clouds

 

 

 

Things should start warming up now. And maybe I can get back to the pedal commute?
Hope so.

Strangled,

by the choke-hold of a polar vortex (whatever that is), I’ve not a taken a single picture this week. Until today. And this is what I came up with –

 

Crystal Clear

 

 

Last week 50’s and pedaling to work, this week too cold to hold the camera. Bring back the rain so this place can warm up a little, and I can get back to the bicycle riding.

Nice day

Saturday certainly was, and Seattleites flocked outdoors to enjoy the weather. The Market was crowded. Too crowded. We cocktailed it. View was nice –

 

Public Market

 

Happy Veterans Day to all the veterans out there – You guys and gals deserve your own day. Thanks.

Say hello to my little friend

He’s not so little, but judging by the looks of him, I think he’s a youngster –

 

Hunting Missed Mug shot posing

 

 

He’s been rooting around the Lyon Creek spillway by the Burke-Gillman Trail for the last week or so. Easy fishing I guess.

Good looking bird.

Fall color

On this very Fall like day –

 

Red Reds

 

 

That brightened things up a bit.

Carry on.
