seattle graffiti

On Thursday, I caught the 6:30 a.m. ferry and then the 7 a.m. sounder train to get from Whidbey Island to Seattle.  I spent the whole day there exploring Pike Place Market, Seattle Art Museum, and the Wing Luke Museum.  Even though my hip joints are still aching from the six hours hours of walking that I did while carrying a heavy backpack, I'm looking forward to my next trip to the city.

Just outside the Seattle Art Museum is a taxi stand.  The back of the taxi stand's signboard seems to be a work in progress.  I like how the words "Hello," "BE" and "Dream" are part of this and wonder which marking started this graffiti work.

bird watching and staying home for the summer

Usually summer means several bicycle-camping trips, but with COVID19 still around, we are staying home. In the meantime, I have been pretty productive with my 100 Self Portraits project.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely!
