Market Theater Box Office Window
Now gum is appearing in the box office entryway and beyond on wall going further south along the alley. Compare this shot with the one like it that I took last winter.
Market Theater Entryway Playbill Window
The gum wall installation continues around the corner into the entryway now.
This Providence
Market Theater Window, Post Alley. The gum is sparser to the south of the theater entryway, and more elaborate figures and letters are made in these areas.
Definitely Thicker
The original part of the gum wall has become too crowded to add to, so the blobs are slowly creeping south down the alley.

More Seattle Weather: Hail Outside My Door
Wow, it really poured on Friday afternoon, then the lightning with immediate thunder and a driving downpour of large hail stones. They piled up 2 inches deep outside my door within two minutes time.

Seattle City Hall
No, it's not the architect's model; this is the city hall seen from the top of the Sears Tower. I've shown you other features of this complex, but this gives you the full picture of this "green" campus. Yes, that is grass on the roof (the same architects helped plan the Ballard branch of the library, which also has a grass roof).
More City Hall Reflected: Seattle Old & New
Reflection of Smith Tower, the first skyscraper in Seattle, and City Hall, a "green" roofed, urban sustainability model of a city center.

More Geraldene's Counter
A neighborhood cafe in the Columbia City neighborhood serving fresh, well prepared American fare.
A Cuppa Chili at Geraldine's Counter
My dinner partner had a light appitite but gobbled this up after the first "ummm ummm" bight. The Mac & Cheese with jalepenos was really nice. This place reminds me a bit of Rick & Anne's in Berkeley.

No Naked Lights
Tanker worker, cupa joe in hand, heads for some stairs on The City of Dubrovnik. What a "Naked Light" is I can only guess, but on a tanker, I'm sure it has to do with fire prevention.

More Tuba Dude's View
This is what the tuba player was looking out on from his bench on the bluff. The cruise ship was speeding on its way out the bay into the Sound and on to Alaska.

More Human-Eating Salmon Slide
She needed some mom support to go down the people-eating slide. The snout of the salmon is distorted like that of one near the end of the spawning stage. Carkeek Park is home of Piper's Creek and other tributaaries which salmon will find their way to during the fall.

More Discovery Park
This little hummer held its own in a tiff with another one. Then they both rested. Now what do humming birds have to fight about, I wonder?
Swallow Swoop
Evening feeding on insects all about the meadow. They are so swift, I'm genuinely surprised I captured this shot.

More Tuscany Apartments: Stucco Relief Decoration
've never seen this sort of ornamentation before. Does anyone know what this technique is called or how it is achieved?

I noticed students form Northwest School heading into this cafeteria for what looks like some good eats at lunchtime.

The art is level, but the sidewalk slopes downhill. . . A colorfully painted bus shelter brightens spirits in the First Hill neighborhood.

The Sorento Hotel
A seven story 4 star hotel at the top of First Hill, a welcome change from tourist areas and a quieter setting than downtown.

Broadway Dance Step Hesitation
Dancing in the streets is a popular pastime on Broadway in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Curious, but not wanting to look too stupid, we stand and look at the Fox Trot Weave steps outside the restaurant where we ate dinner. (There are 8 different sets of dance steps along a two block section of Broadway, made and installed in the sidewalk by a sculpture inspired by the old Arther Murray dance studio intructions, and enjoyed by the neighborhood for many years).
