Tacoma's Best Secret

Tacoma's non-profit theater

dedicated to the art of independent film.

It features Orville Redenbacher popcorn

with real butter

along with first-class film.

Fierce Fish

Don't let him get his hook into you.

Dangerous fish on the loose

just across the street and

down the block

from the Blue Mouse Theater.

City Reflection

Tacoma Mosaic

I've been neglecting

the Gritty City.

Maybe this will help make up for my absence.

Native American Festival at Tacoma Art Museum

The Tacoma Art Museum has wonderful family festivals

that celebrate cultural gifts to the community.

Here, Native American children dance to the beat 

of beautiful handmade drums. 

The Voice of Reason

There were a few voices of reason.

Planning

So many unpleasant bits of history

are buried and forgotten.

More History

Times of uncertainty

and intolerance.

Persecution of the Chinese

Fear and intolerance

can fuel shameful acts.

Upper Crust

North Tacoma.

Between University of Puget Sound

and St. Patrick's Catholic Church.

For your daily bread.

Cape Intrepid and Cape Island

The blue skies of the past few days

have abandoned us

for the time being.

But I'm hoping for a glimpse of blue

between the clouds

even though the weather forecasters

are talking white. . .  again.

Christmas Camel

Greetings from Tacoma. . . .

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Watching

There's a light haze today.

A good day for just watching to see

what comes along.

Huh?

How Fast Can You Run?

Since the bridge is closed,

this must apply to pedestrians.

Graffiti and Tracks

Schuster Parkway

Not being a Tacoma native,

I never knew why the road along the edge of 

Puget Sound's Commencement Bay

was called

Schuster Parkway.

Now I know.

Sun Breaks

Sun breaks:

those little moments

when the sun peeks through the clouds.

Always a pleasure.

Tugboats

With a working port,

you need reliable muscle.

Architectural Curves

Graceful curves

Hot Steam, Cold Day

Tacoma has a working port

and lots of industry.
