Clearly, I could walk the dog more often.

Then I wouldn't be panting right along with her.

My absence...

Is unexcusable.

So have a Seattle snow picture or two as my atonement:

Around the corner.

This is what unincorporated King County

(aka, no snow plows)

looks like on a snowy day.

And, contrary to what this photo may suggest,

here's a guy loving every moment of it.

Particularly, he enjoyed the Snowman Family that came for a visit because they heard the weather was really good for snowmen here lately.

Our Mountains have Snow too

That time of year again. Our mountains have snow on them now too.

Was a beautiful blue sky day on Saturday and I didn't whip out my camera once.

A shame, I know.

Not like I don't take my own

But getting the computers back up to speed has been a bit. tedious.  Just a bit.

So on Amber's Blog she had this great post with a photo scavenger hunt:

a. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
b. Using only the first page, pick an image.
c. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into fd’s mosaic maker.

1. What is your first name?
2. What is your favorite food?
3. What high school did you go to?
4. What is your favorite color?
5. Who is your celebrity crush?
6. Favorite drink?
7. Dream vacation?
8. Favorite dessert?
9. What you want to be when you grow up?
10. What do you love most in life?
11. One Word to describe you.
12. Where do you live?

Here's how mine came out:

1. Saint Bernadette (Bernadette) 2. The Whole Enchilada (Onion Enchiladas) 3. The Caperette Team of '98 (PHS c/o not '98 thank goodness) 4. Orange as Any Orange on a Tree (Orange) 5. Barack Obama (Michelle Obama) 6. Lemon Drop (Lemon Drop) 7. Tibet-5637 (Tibet - wildest dreams come true) 8. Butter Pecan Ice Cream (Butter Pecan Ice Cream - some days I miss her so so SO very much) 9. Happy Happy (Happy) 10. Grace (Being with him [Robert] and with this picture, growing old with him) 11. Sleepy Sunday @ Movie Clip (sleepy) 12. The Road Home, Mendicino (some TX, some Cali, all in all, "home").

Have fun with it.  Show me your's too!
