I met some girlfriends downtown last night to listen to a band at The Elephant Room – Kris Kimura’s Wasabi Grande Big, big band. Now, that’s a big band!

Late-season zinnies.
The last few from the garden. Monte will be planting a new batch.
Sunset at the marina.
We headed to the marina this afternoon to work on the boat. We were treated to a lovely sunset when we were done.
A day in the life of the sky.
We spent Saturday & Sunday nights on the lake this past weekend with Marty & Sue. As I looked back over the photos I took, I was captivated by the different colors in the sky from shot to shot. These are several from a 24 hour period, Saturday evening to Sunday evening.
Saturday sunset:
Crescent moon and Venus in Saturday’s twilight:
Sunrise on Sunday:
Thunder-boomer building Sunday night:
And the crescent moon again, Sunday night:
Life is good.
Swallow-ed tail?
Walking back and forth through the backyard yesterday, I spotted a yellow butterfly snacking on some lantana. I went in the house and got my camera to try to get a shot or two. This is the clearest one. I believe it is a kind of swallowtail butterfly. But it appears that something has nipped the tail end of his wings. I’m sure he has some stories to tell…
Just because.
Fuzzy bunny! I popped into the pet store for more parakeet feed, and couldn’t resist. TGIF!
Wandering sun.
I spent this weekend on the lake with some girlfriends on Nirvana. In the cove that we anchored in, there is a lovely view of both the sunset and the sunrise.
Saturday’s sunset from the stern:
And Sunday morning’s sunrise glow from the v-berth hatch.

Lovely sunset off the stern:
Twirly.
Accidental sidewalk art.
Towering.
I booked a couple of tickets to tour the University of Texas Tower tonight. It has been, thankfully, a rainy weekend, so I didn’t get the pre-sunset view that I was hoping for, but I enjoyed the tour and the 360 degree views of the city.

Purple mountains’ majesty…
Mount Rainier today. I wish I could have washed the window before we took off 🙂
Freebird.
A bald eagle that I spotted flying over Union, Washington last week.
The Boys’ boat.
We stopped at the University of Washington rowing center. The rowing 8 shell that won the gold medal in the 1936 Olympics, the Husky Clipper, is on display there. A book was written about it, called The Boys in the Boat.
Then on to Pike Place Market for the obligatory walk-through.
