Retro Spring Cruise #2

This cool vintage Doge Lancer was such a beaut I just had to get a curbside shot as I walked by. The owner was present and let me take an interior shot of the dashboard push-button transmission that I remembered my friend Roma's car had when we were in college. . .I think hers was a Valiant, though. It was vintage back when we were riding around in it, and I always thought those buttons were pretty novel. Nice to see a classic still being used for transportation. Long may you run.

If you're a long time visitor to SDP, you may remember this similar serendipitous find from March 2007.

Students in Rain of Petals

These students were photographing each other with the soft backdrop of cherry blossom petals falling all around them in the Liberal Arts Quadrangle at the University of Washington. The Quad is famous for the 30 mature Yoshino cherry trees transplanted around its periphery 42 years ago after being removed from the arboretum for a roadway project. People from all over the world visit the campus to see these trees and experience their lovely magic, like all these cute guys from Kabul you may remember from last year.
