Hawk- Day 26

Ha ha, this is a weird and deceiving shot ;) He does look kind of pasted in there. The B&B we stayed in had several birders staying there and some kind of raptor rescue society had a few of their birds on display there in the morning. This hawk was sitting on its handlers hand, but at least the background was more natural than what you see at a typical zoo. The birds were gorgeous and it was neat being able to get as close as we wanted.

It was a bit of a hike to get up to this lake, but the weather cooperated and the views were quite nice :)

Thanks ladies, the weather was a mixed bag in my short trip but we got some breaks here and there.

Looks kind of neat with color just in the middle. I'm about to take a weekend road trip and will maybe try one of these mult-image layouts as I think/hope I will have too much material when I return.

I noticed the fire alarm before reading too- good title. I guess I should put my glasses on as I thought from the thumb image there was a real naked woman there :)

It does look like etched leather now that Jutilda mentioned that. Neat!

How do those dogs see! Really a cool shot, the blown figure in the background adds some mystery to it.

These people look kind of lost and the slightly hazy treatment lends to that.

Must Resist Doughnuts- Day 23
by Brent_S

Comment:
Yeah I prefer the traditional "doughnut" spelling too- makes them sound more like cuisine ;)
Actually Top Pot Doughnuts is quite a trendy place. They have just a few shops in Seattle only and all of them are located in architecturally significant older spaces and given a mid-century sort of decor.
