Recycling

We take recycling seriously here in the Pacific N.W.

This pile of boxes caught my eye because of the

ROCKST*R box.

There's a rock band video game

newly installed in the family room

and there's been a whole lot of singing and drumming.

At all hours of the day and night.

I've got rock stars on the brain.

Exotic

When you're looking for a ride

think exotic.

Pt. Defiance Zoo.

Jungle Fever

Another find at N. Pearl and 51st.

Interesting plants.

Tempting garden art.

Antique Sandwich Shop

The sandwiches & salads are new,

not antique.

N. Pearl and 51st in Ruston.

Salvage Style

Near the corner of N. Pearl and 51st in Ruston, 

there's a new shop about to open.

It's called Salvage Style

The owner is busy sprucing up the place

and hopes to have it open for business

in the next few days.

She finds treasures of the used variety

that are being cast off

and brings them back to chic-ness.

What could be more environmentally friendly?

Baby

I don't have a clue whether this baby is Bima or Mali,

but it's one cute tiger kitten.

Pt. Defiance Zoo. 

(p.s. The proud mommy is Jaya.)

A Really Fast Breakfast

At least that's what they promise.

A Passion for Purple and Gold

Husky paraphernalia.

University of Washington (Tacoma) bookstore.

Hot Diggety Dog!

On Pacific Avenue

in the Museum District.

Tacoma's Light Rail

It would be so grand to be able to hop on

at Union Station and ride to the airport

or downtown Seattle

or University Village

or Bellevue.

Another Chihuly Bit

Tacoma is noted as an art glass center,

inspired in no small part

by Dale Chihuly's body of work. 

Through the Window

Book display

through the window of a bookshop

 Meta Books on Pacific Avenue.

There are a lot of mountain lovers around here.

Sunset on the Pond

The weather's turned warmer again.

Look for sizzling sunsets.
