A Close Encounter with Coral - 05/29/11 10:34 AM
 
I pop into Seattle Aquarium whenever it doesn't look too busy, which means I get there when my walks are early in the morning, right about opening time.  Today I had a close encounter with coral.

 
A few things about Coral. 

 
Coral reefs are part of the oceans eco system, they are home to many different types of sea creatures.

 
Coral is actually a living organism made up of millions of tiny polyps. They get nutrients mostly through photosynthesis, however, they can actually sting some plankton and very small fish to get a meal.

What It Takes - 05/28/11 11:55 AM
Walking on the waterfront in downtown Seattle makes me ponder things I might never ponder at all.
I can see the cruise ship as big as any ten story building when it docks. I know the people will disembark, cameras in hand to walkabout, or hop on the sparkly clean white buses waiting to whisk them to one of our fabulous resort hotels, or get into one of the dozens of taxis waiting to accommodate them. 

What I didn't factor into the equation, was the amount of goods loaded from our docks to feed and lavish the participants of a … (12 comments)

Let's Go Fly a Kite - 05/27/11 12:04 PM
When the sun shines in Seattle, I head outside. Today, we packed up our cooler, grabbed our favorite four legged friend and headed to Golden Gardens Beach in Ballard. A fifteen minute drive north (a doable bike ride from downtown) led us through beautiful and eclectic Ballard.
One of the simple joys my husband and I share is a love of all beaches, and kite flying. Watching a delicate band of colors soaring at your command in front of a brilliant blue sky is very relaxing for the soul...

Reflections In Acrylic, a Seattle Art Experience - 05/23/11 11:10 AM
 
A graffiti artist in his youth known as TAJ,  Jose Torres Jr. signs this body of work  Tony Taj. His work is recognized and exhibited throughout the United States, and if you look, you might just see his distinctive drip technique hanging in a national restaurant franchise or gracing product packaging.
 
Jose moved from his studio at Pioneer Square to a Belltown studio, and is now located at 1211 1st Ave., appropriately across from Seattle Art Museum. Stop in talk with Tony, and buy something!

My Excursions throughout Seattle, often end up at two of my favorite places, Seattle Aquarium and Seattle Art Museum.
Seattle Art Museum Exhibits challenge the soul to evaluate human characteristics. We all see things in our own special way, and here is an example of someone being inspired and challenged to find the genius within, that they so profoundly saw in someone else.

A Trip to The Beach - 05/21/11 01:00 PM
As we make our way to the water taxi, I ponder what this day will bring. Headed to Alki Beach, one of my favorite Seattle neighborhoods, we hop on our trusty bicycles and ride to Pier 50 for our sail across Elliot Bay.
The Emerald City skyline diminishing as we cross the bay, is always a site to behold, making the ten minute journey pass too quickly.

I feel the beach town vibe I love so much, the second our feet are on shore.

We ride the bike path along a sandy beach watching kites fly, volleyballs bounce out of … (17 comments)

Beacon In The Night - 05/17/11 02:49 PM
It's three a.m. The full moon shining on the water leading to my window wakes me from my slumber on its cyclical visit. I heed the call, arise, step to the edge to let the rays of light rejuvenate my soul. 

At dawn, once again, I rise, revived by my earlier encounter. As I watch the moon slowly disappear in shades of blue and orange,I see life through new eyes. A plane is going to land bringing busy people to their destination, the ferry will shuffle commuters across Elliot Bay, and I am here to see it all...
