This structure was built to house free poetry. I don't know who does stuff like this, but I love it. Ballard is my true Seattle love, but Wallingford is growing on me too.

Sunday 12/27: Free poetry
This structure was built to house free poetry. I don't know who does stuff like this, but I love it. Ballard is my true Seattle love, but Wallingford is growing on me too.
Saturday 12/26: Marysville travel
Anna, Mei Li, and I spotted this near the Mexican place we went to for lunch. I guess these are the travel hot spots in Marysville.
Friday 12/25: Merry Christmas, Emily!
She let me sing lots of Christmas carols, even though she likes our usual songs better.
Thursday 12/24: Frosty windshield
Waiting for the windshield to defrost so we could begin our Christmas Eve tradition of driving around and looking at lights.

Friday 12/18: Hedge animals
Anna, Mei Li, and I had a Shining night where we watched the movie and discussed the book, so the next morning it didn't surprise me when this protruding hedge arm caught my eye on the way to the bus. Sure, it looks innocent now, but it is just waiting for the right moment to scratch you up!
Wednesday 12/16: Nutcracker
A few years ago Mei Li and I were waiting for a table to open up at the Cheesecake Factory, so we used that time to do a photo scavenger hunt for Nutcrackers around the city. These guys always bring back memories of that night for me.

Sunday 12/13: Snow!
I have been waiting for this! The snow didn't make its way up to Seattle today but I have high hopes that it will eventually.
Saturday 12/12: Frames
Justin and I have very different tastes in art, but I do like this arrangement near his bedroom door.
Friday 12/11: Polar bears and milk bunnies
These chocolate animals at the Confectionary are so cute!

Thursday 12/10: Lyon
I visited one of our housing projects on lunch today after Sarah described the fun courtyard set-up and Ian mentioned a cool display involving old keys. But I really liked this brick wall and the sunlight on this plant. It was a satisfying lunch time activity.
Wednesday 12/9: Pike Place glass
Beautiful glass display outside Pike Place market. And you really can't get a better backdrop than the Puget Sound.
Tuesday 12/8: Top of Pioneer Square
You get the best view of the tops of these buildings on clear winter days when the trees are bare. I love all the different colors and styles.

Sunday 12/6: Santa and cactus
Santa hiding out in this cactus plant. Mei Li's family puts their decorations in some unexpected places and I like that.
Saturday 12/5: Snowflakes on red wall
These snowflakes have been up on Justin's wall since his Christmas party last year and now they are finally back in season.
Friday 12/4: Pokemon game
Jessi and Rain engaged in a very exciting Pokemon battle at our holiday party. Jessi kind of looks like an illusion and Rain looks like he has a black eye. I think that means Jessi won.
Thursday 12/3: Waste not
An awesome local art display that I spotted in the alley behind Elliot Bay Books. One of the artists (or at least an assistant, he said he helped put it together) was there taking photos also.

Wednesday 12/2: First frost
This means it is too cold. But I always like the first frost of the year.

Friday 11/27: Pitas
Justin making pitas for Mei Li's Around the World potluck. They turned out super!
Thursday 11/26: Oscar the grouch
I helped put up the Christmas tree at my parents house on Thanksgiving. This is one of our favorite ornaments, part of the Sesame Street set.

Wednesday 11/25: Piroshky, Piroshky...
So many good memories at this place. I had to stop by after wading through the Pike Place Thanksgiving crowds.
Tuesday 11/24: Grand Central Bakery
One of my favorite lunch time hang out spots. This day was extra special because I got a comfy chair in front of the fire.
Sunday 11/22: Beach house
It's not really on the beach, but it should be. This is one of those houses that make me imagine what it would be like to live there.
Friday 11/20: Clubhouse
A fancy clubhouse whose front yard always looks like summer even when it's not.

Thursday 11/19: Droplets
What a contrast from yesterday morning. Since it was so rainy and wet I broke down and used an umbrella, which makes photo-taking in the rain much easier and safer for my camera. So maybe I need to stop being an umbrella-hater.
Wednesday 11/18: Crisp fall morning
What a beautiful fall morning! I started going to a new bus stop which gives me more photo opportunities, such as this colorful tree in front of a cute elementary school. The schools in Seattle are so much cooler-looking than the ones in Marysville.
Tuesday 11/17: Last leaves
There aren't too many leaves left on the trees in my neighborhood so I am trying to get my last fall photos in while I can.

Sunday 11/15: Antiques
I really love antique shops. All the displays sorted by color or material or purpose or just pretty things that look nice next to each other - love it.
Friday 11/13: Tattoo parlor
I wish the tattoo sign would come out better in my photos because I walk past it pretty much every day and it is very cool, but I will just have to settle for this.
Thursday 11/12: Big city library
When I finally visited the Seattle Public Library after driving by and imagining how amazing it must be inside when I was younger, I was a little disappointed. But then I realized it just needs to be viewed in black and white.
Wednesday 11/11: Tuta Bella
This pizza here did not quite live up to the hype on the menu but overall it was still a delicious meal and great company!
Monday 11/9: Do Not Exit ghost
I decided to do a black and white photo week, to mix things up. I think I look like a ghost in this shot.
