Outdoor Art

Ballard has a little park that has these large sculptures. I've always found them interesting, so I finally photographed them all. Apparently, this park is moving away from the original Ballard heritage and some people aren't happy about it.

Happy Valentine's Day

These two displays are at Horseshoe in Ballard. I thought both were fun and interesting. I always loved passing out these candies on Valentine's Day when I was a kid!

Brunch is Best

We ate at Hattie's Hat for brunch. An old, well established Ballard bar and restaurant.



I love the big fish tank in the middle of the room.






I love the extra note on the bill, "January 20th is not so far away!"

Rambling around Frellard

Today was a nice, relaxing day.


We ate at a place called Dish in "Frellard" (Fremont/Ballard). Great breakfasts! But, be prepared for a long wait to get a table.


We went for a short walk after breakfast and spotted this orange house. We'd been discussing good colors to paint a house, so I decided to record this one for future reference. You don't see too many orange houses around!


I'm not sure what this was. It seemed to be a big electric plant of some sort. I think if I could have gotten inside the fence, I could have taken some better shots!

Cotton Balls

On the way to Ballard tonight for the book club meeting, I spotted these great clouds.

After the Rain

It seems it rained everywhere but where I live today. I went to Ballard for dinner and spotted these raindrops in S's beautiful garden full of trees and flowers.
