Very showy indeed. I couldn’t function in my day, but she can.

So much sparkle!

This mallard duck hen was looking fine at Country Village, in Bothell, WA. See post below this for a video of a few other members of her family.

Went to a meeting last night and look at what was there! We were surprised to find that the hearts on top were rings, not candy. For very small fingers.

Valentine’s Day treats of rings over iced brownie mini-cupcakes. Yum!

Rings worn by a man intrigue me. This is the hand of a man who was born in India but now lives in Seattle. It must be so cold for him here! I find this photo to be mysterious, and I don’t know why. I hope you enjoy it.

We were at Normandy Park Cove this weekend. This gull repeatedly swam around, launched itself a foot or two into the air, and dove for dinner. After watching six or eight tries, we had to leave and I do not know if it ever was successful. It was beautiful and inspiring to watch. The crow seemed to be quite interested also.

These perky flowers were at a home I visited recently. I was so impressed with how healthy and vigorous they are. I learned from Digital Flower Pictures, (link on my blogroll to the left) that they are called Blanket Flowers. I like them!

Happy Ruby Tuesday to all. Check out more rubiness there, seen by eager eyes around the blogosphere.

And hello to the Color Carnival folks. Is this bright enough, do you think?

Watery Wednesday is here, and all is dry today here in Seattle, but a few weeks ago this pond told a different story.

Again, anyone have any CafePress.com experience to share?

I took this in Portland a while ago, at the Japanese Garden. What could be more watery than rain AND a lake? For more Watery Wednesday photos from everywhere, click HERE.
