Resolution: Community

Be apart or be a part? Observe or participate?



One of my resolutions for the new year is to become a real part of the communities around me.

Bright side

Snow and rain make fog
Sun and rain make rainbows
Seattle and rain make home

Time

Tridge

Three legged bridge
Two frozen rivers
One person looking

Merry Christmas

Peace and love to everyone for the holiday season.
Hope you're with the ones you love, no matter who they are.

Windchimes in winter

Cold, mon.

Snow on the peanut

Snow from a height

It was a slow, snowy day. I took some pictures.

Snowday Thursday haiku

Snow drifting peaceful
Covering imperfection
Make life smooth again.

Just some trees

Tall trees to make you feel small
Cease in the breeze to make you feel still
Flicker of sunlight to remember the world
And blue of the sky to please your eye.

Pretty white berries

Reminds me of nature's Christmas Decorations somehow.

Last Thursday

This was actually from last week - not sure if it was actually Thursday or Friday, but Thursday was a better day so that's what I'm deciding.

Reach up

Into the sky
Grab hold of the light
Reach hard, reach high.

Tree Needle

Meh

Bad lighting, faded me, fuzzy photo, awkward shadows.
Eh, still the Sunday bonus picture for now.

Turkey

Yes, family, I did find a nice meal to eat with some very nice friends on Thanksgiving. With turkey and everything (and doesn't it look good?). I was very thankful.

News flash!

Wait ... is that a ...



bus ... on fire?



Why, yes. Yes, it is.



And then the fire department put it out.
Awesome lunchtime spectacle.

Relax

Peacefully enfolded in warmth.
Sun hovering on the edge of the sky.
Breathe deep, listen to the dusk.
Ready to face winter again? :)

Navigation

Sometimes we all need a little direction-finding assistance and Sunshine.

Ears up

Eyes forward
Look out!

Lifering

Who needs a lifeline
Those who fall in cold water
Or who fail to live?

(happy haiku thursday).

City peeking through leaves

Office filler

I guess I had better make some time to take some new photos.
The clean desk is not mine. The messy desk you can't see is mine :).

New

I'm pretty psyched.

Downtown lights

Two things -
(1) it gets dark here really early these days
(2) I want a tripod

Okay, (3) - I really like the view from Gasworks Hill.

The Troll

There's got to be some legend that the troll will wake up, causing havoc and destruction if Fremont is invaded, right? Thing is, I really can't tell if that destruction would be aimed towards the invaders or the locals. That troll has got to be pretty tired of drunk people peeing on him.

Follow them

Follow me my love,
Follow into green pastures -
Sun will never set.

(happy haiku thursday!)
(thanks Francesco & Sylvia - you are awesome).

New Hope Arises

Happy Halloween

Bleached bones

Halloween approaching

In the spirit of the upcoming holiday, it's graveyards from here to Halloween.

Curious duck

Curious duck is curious. Maybe also a little annoyed. But very pretty -- I mean handsome, handsome!

Time

Stairs going up, but wearing down.

(okay, I can't help it .. have to mention that these are the stairs inside the Leaning Tower of Pisa - worn on the outside, because that is the direction of the 'lean' here!)

From my window

Black bird sitting on nearby boat, at the break of morn' (well, it wasn't quite dawn).

Lurking

Monkey: "Fuck. I thought I had you beat."
Gator: "No, I'm just here waiting."
Monkey: "Guess it's best out of three then."

My Bud

Sand sticks underpaw,
Running Wrestling Swimming Go!
Slobber on the fur.

(happy haiku thursday)

Leftover Gasworks

Rusty old towers.
Polluted the ground, but so cool to look at.

Tie Fighter!

I love this mosaic. This tie-fighter is just a small part but there are many other surprises as well. Interpret your favorite monster in the inlay at the Wallingford Steps.

Sunset

The days are getting shorter. I'm not sure if that's what I dislike most about winter, or if it's the wet and coldness. Still, I don't feel any urge to live in Tucson, so it can't be that bad.

Haiku Thursday

Sun in sky through leaves
Yellow surrounding the world
Fall has come to me.

(happy haiku thursday)

Wet red leaves

I like the red leaves, even when they are surrounded by wet and gray skies.

Colored cotton-candy forests

Fall

Nowhere special, but the proper kind of "fall"
Sunny sky, leaves bright with color
Football Saturday
Maybe a hint of woodsmoke on the air.

Red leaves, red pipe
