View fit for a queen, redux

This is the view that awaits you if you take the time to hike up to Queen Anne Hill in Seattle. (You could take the bus, too.)

No standing in alleys

Some parking rules never change, apparently! Seen in an alley in Seattle.

This little piggy went to Pike Place in Seattle

Pike Place Market in Seattle is as much a feast for the eyes as for the tummy. Here’s what caught my eye on my recent visit there.
The most unusual feature of the market, I found, is represented by the last photo in this series, which is a portion of the bubble gum wall in Post Alley. Chewed up bubble gum turned into rubber street art. It even smells like gum down there.

Aquatic oasis: A visit to the Seattle Aquarium

Fishies, octopi and otters, oh my! Here are a handful of snapshots from the Seattle Aquarium. The giant octopus, immediately below, was released to the sea a few days after I visited.
