I dreamed I was in Italy again...
I don't know what sparked it, I haven't been eating Italian food or anything... But this morning, in that last couple of hours of sleeping, a little waking, sleeping and dreaming again, there I was in this persistant dream of getting off a train near Rome, and not being sure which direction I needed...

One of the joys of being places is seeing who else lives there.
Here, where Colorado Springs sits at the base of the Rocky Mountains Front Range, like just about anywhere else, there are squirrels. Here are a couple that are regulars around the neighborhood. http://www.flickr.com/photos/therovingeye/ Sign in to see full entry.

New photos: Spring in the Columbia Gorge
I didn't take many photos, this trip was about getting where we were going, more than sight-seeing. But we stopped for a while the first day out, in this pleasant and yet dangerous rest area where the grass is a welcome lush green, after a long, bleak winter.... Sign in to see full entry.

Pike Place Fishiness
The Pike Place Market is renowned for its fresh fish, often seen flying through the air, as the fish-handlers make a happy show of prepping a salmon for a buyer. My pattern-seeking eye enjoys the layout there, and can't resist the other side of the street, where vegetable stands display arrays of... Sign in to see full entry.

Under the Volcano Cloud
Pat's reminiscing about a moment of magic and wonder from her childhood in Morton, Washington, got me remembering, too, and in that same neighborhood. It was May 18, 1980, and after months of suggestive rumbles and mutters, Mount Saint Helens had finally blown. I was in Tacoma at a swap meet that... Sign in to see full entry.

The driving day started at 7:30, as soon as the frost melted off the windshield, and by 10, I was having breakfast in Pocatello, Idaho. From there, I followed US 30 north to pick up I 86, and they took me west to where 86 merged into I-84. the road that goes across southern Idaho then northwest... Sign in to see full entry.

Wyoming: Winterscape
It's sometimes hard to tell where land meets cloud, and the clouds are a spectacular variety of texture and altitude, some hovering in a peculiar light just over the land, others high in the sky making a grey backdrop for the middling ones that are strangely white above and grey below...

Snow, Clouds, and Sky
Just a few shots of the flight back from Seattle to Denver. It was mostly clouds between plane and land, but they are some cool, texturey clouds, and every now and then a bit of the ground revealed. http://flic.kr/ps/rhS1C Sign in to see full entry.

I didn't expect...
that the sun would still be high enough and the clouds absent enough... But it was, even at 5pm and over Colorado and Utah's red rock country... there are still some to process, but the first batches are up! http://www.flickr.com/photos/therovingeye/ To see the flight in order, start at the far end,...
