Double Take

I took a double take when I saw this out of the corner of my eye. Turns out it isn't real, but I still thought it was cute sitting in the window!

Roundabout

I've been under the weather for awhile now and decided to mostly take it easy today. I did, however, go to The Herbalist to pick up some tinctures in the hopes that they would help. While out and about, I spotted this in the roundabout.








I love low light and long shadows!

Sub Pop and The Storm

Tonight I went to see The Storm play. It was a great game against the L.A. Sparks. Normally, I'm not a big sports fan, but I will go when someone gives me free tickets! Women's basketball is also more exciting in some ways to watch than other sports as they still seem to play with team spirit and not just big egos.


If you look closely at this photo, you will see the ball near the top of the image. It made it in the basket!



The Seattle Storm Dance Troupe. They have a group of kids that dance whenever there is a break in the game. They are mighty good dancers!



The biggest little fan. This little guy was sitting in front of us and was all decked out in his Storm attire.



The game takes place near Seattle Center so I had a good view of the Space Needle with the Sub Pop flag flying to commemorate the record label's 20th anniversary.

Wining and Dining

I ate in the International District today for lunch. We did not eat Dim Sum, but I thought this table looked so nicely set up, that I snapped a shot on the way out.



Grabbed a detail of the new arch in the International District on the way back to work.



I ate dinner at the Metropolitan Grill. I had a gift certificate, but it was still quite expensive. Their specialty is steak, but I think we were more impressed with the Cherries Jubilee we had for dessert which they prepared table-side!

Colorful Leaf

Spiral Tile

Yet another option for the Photo Friday spiral challenge. So, now I need y'all to vote by tomorrow on which one you think I should post on the site? I can only pick one and I'm having a hard time deciding!
