Skulls on her knees

Slave to the Needle hosted a tattoo convention in Seattle this weekend, so I thought I’d check it out. Saw lots of nifty pics of tats, lots of people getting tats, and even an iPad out in the wild.

Pre-Tulips Trip

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Headed up to the Skagit Valley to check out what flowers had budded already.  None of the major tulip fields were ready yet, but there were some daffodils.  I made a stop at a nursery across the road from them and got good pics of a bee, a nice shot of a dew covered flower, some noisy sheep, some lama and chickens.  There was also a field full of white birds.

Photo Safari Gas Works Park 20100228

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

Started the day out with  breakfast at the Hurricane, served by My Little Pony, if we believe receipts.

Learned that just because we could make synthetic natural gas in the 1800′s doesn’t mean you shouldn’t serve in the military now.  Umm, OK?

I wondered again, just how safe the park can be for kids to play in, when a mere locked door protects us from “unremediated areas” that require class C protective gear.

Someone is camping in the park.  If the luggage is any indicator, they once had a decent job. Or were given a nice set of luggage and camping gear.  I suspect there are two of them, and they also own these bikes.

The clouds were breaking up, by the time I kayaked (no pics), it was actually sunny.

Saw some paranoid conspiracy graffiti.  Noticed a helipad I had no idea existed, despite kayaking past it for years.   Amazing what a change in perspective reveals.

Saw yet another pair of Sunday morning, aka the day after, shoes.
