Housing boom in full swing

Posted on December 24, 2013 by cyetso

They’re building as fast as they can and putting them anywhere they can –

Housing boom

Not that it’s getting any cheaper. Just more crowded.

All work and no play

Posted on December 23, 2013 by cyetso

Makes Jack a dull boy. It also leaves him with precious little daylight to take photos. And then the yardwaste has to go out tomorrow, so some postwork yardwork was done by the light of the garage. Thankfully Jack took lots of photos the other day….

Watching the sunset from Magnolia looking towards Bainbridge Island –

 

Magnolia sunset

 

 

Not too bad? Maybe Santa will drop off a nice tripod for Jack, so he can start working better with the low light? Maybe Jack should quit being so cheap, get off his lazy butt, and go buy one. The camera store is right down the street Jack….

Just walking around

Posted on December 17, 2013 by cyetso

Looking in storefront windows. Window shopping as it were (though I wasn’t shopping for windows. Misnomer.). Sometimes it’s not what’s behind the glass, sometimes it’s what’s in front of the glass that makes the store inviting. This worked –

 

Frilly

 

 

They weren’t selling windows, so maybe that helped too?

Light at the end of the tunnel

Posted on December 11, 2013 by cyetso

Metaphorically speaking anyway. The good foot Dr. has relieved the patient of the crutches she held with such disdain. Three more weeks of the boot, and we she will be good as new.

Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is actually just at the end of the pier –

 

Beacon

 

 

A lot shorter trek to the end of the pier versus the tunnel. So we got that going for us.

People take things in the movies too seriously

Posted on December 10, 2013 by cyetso

For instance, ‘If you build it, they will come.’ from Field of Dreams. Some doorknob took this way to seriously and built a GIANT FERRIS WHEEL right down on the waterfront –

 

Great Wheel

 

 

Great movie, great story, great line. One problem; When it’s 30 out and threatening snow, nobody wants to ride a 320 foot tall Ferris Wheel. The employees were huddled around a fire burning in a trash barrel, drinking whiskey out of a bottle concealed in a paper bag. No wait! Those might have been homeless people. Not sure. Either way, the place was deserted.

At least it’s not an eyesore.

Chasing the sunset

At forty thousand feet –

 

forty thousand feet

 

 

I don’t know if they’ll catch it or not, but they’re giving it a go.

Good for them.

Tradition

Posted on November 28, 2013 by cyetso

Sometimes you are forced to break with tradition, but you make do with what you got –

 

Whiskey

 

 

It ain’t the Dubb Linn Gate, but it’s what we got.

Thanksgiving 2013.

Raking flower beds

Posted on November 27, 2013 by cyetso

Not going to Whistler for our annual tradition of turkey, whiskey & Stilton (not so much on the turkey actually, but in the spirit of things…), so might as well make myself useful around here. And since the hydrangea has finally given in to the onset of winter –

 

Hydrangea

 

 

I’ll start my raking right there, before the snow flies next week. If the snow flies. Not like the weather forecasters really know.

 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Clouds

 

 

At least we’re not getting smacked like most of the country…..
