Hungry Woodpecker

 

 

With a knocking sound. Chico ran up to the bedroom and started barking at the window. Looking out I found this woodpecker searching for food. I managed to creep within 6 feet of him before he took off.

Power Lines

 

 

Most of Seattle runs on electric bus systems. While waiting for the sun to set, I managed to snap a few that I liked.

Amazon.com ... Straight Up!

 

 

 

Walking around the Amazon.com building, I managed to snap a few shots before security booted us. The last is through the bars as we were allowed to take pictures from outside the gates.

Tiger Mountain Panoramic

 

While relaxing on the top of Tiger Mountain after a 2 mile hike up, I managed to snap off a set of photos that stitched together well. This is a 360 panoramic. so the hill on the left is actually also the hill on the right.

Public Market

 

I try to stay away from the market on weekends in the summer because of how crouded it is. But with guests in town, the best I could do was point out the market and wait in the street. I snapped this one waiting for them to watch the flying fish.
