For All the World To See

I was walking past a telephone pole on an arterial street on Queen Anne Hill and did a double take when I spied this colorful art glass display some residents have apparently added to the streetscape in front of their home. There always seems to be some artistic or whimsical surprise to share in most Seattle neighborhoods.

Seattle Photographer & His Cute Pooch

I often run into photographers as I'm out and about around town. Yesterday I got to meet Robby, a photographer with a power chair that he has mounted with a terrific sturdy metal mono pod, fabricated by Glaser's Cameras, atop which rides his new Canon Power Shot camera and grip (his old camera took a spill recently and broke). Robby's dog was busy posing for a cute mug shot taken by one of the store clerks at All the Best Pet Shop on Queen Anne Ave North. I saw this scene unfolding when I entered the shop and quickly took this shot. I walked over and showed the shot to Robby, upon which I got a knowing smile and he surprised me by retrieving his own photo portfolio from his backpack. Ah, someone like me! I hadn't noticed his camera, I had been so focused on his little dog and the clerk trying to take its picture. I had a treat seeing Robby's shots and learned of his successful one man show and sale held at a local coffee house. It was fun to run into a fellow enthusiast and see his work. For info on his matted and framed prints of Seattle scenes and beautiful nature shots contact him here.

Kate Middleton in all her happy wedding glory will not be arrayed like one of these next weekend :-).
The tulip farms north of Seattle in the Skagit Valley provide acre upon acre of lovely spring colors in abundance. The Tulip Festival is in full swing now. Here are rows of double pinks, just one of dozens upon dozens of varieties to get lost in. Wishing all who are celebrating it today a very happy Easter!
