These two guys were watching those red shoes as the couple came out of Baja Fresh and crossed the street in front of them.

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?

Broadway Dance Step Hesitation, originally uploaded by Seattle Daily Photo.

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).
