Running errands on a sunny day downtown? It doesn't get much better. I stopped in view of the market and my heart smiled. I love that I'm coming to feel somehow it's my Seattle, for the first time really. I love our city. I've always loved our city, but now I'm feeling part of it finally, like we've been old friends, but only newly acquainted with one another's oddities and complexities.

(I love the cobblestone in pike place. It makes the Seattle rain poetic and the sunshine somehow seem ancient.)
(I want to go to Kells some time. Preferably on a warm summer evening with my sister and a couple of my best friends.)


One of the great things about a photo, you can make other people notice the details you are fond of.
