This evening, my morris dance team gathered in West Seattle for a little impromptu dancing. The scubadivers and fishermen at Seacrest Park weren’t very interested in our admittedly esoteric English folk dancing. After a few dances, we drove up to Hamilton Viewpoint, where the crowd (mostly late-teen/early-twenties guys smoking questionable “cigarettes”) was even less friendly, honking their car horns and turning their radios up loud when we danced. Hmmm. Perhaps we should stick to more popular or touristy locations, where we aren’t seen as intruders.

On my way home from West Seattle, I decided to stop by Kerry Park, a few blocks from our house. As I’d expected, the park was packed with locals and tourists alike. Couples picniced on the grass, while the crowd from a small tour bus snapped photos of Seattle in one of her best-known poses. And who could blame them? With the solstice only a week past, the sun is setting to the northwest, its last rays lighting Mt. Rainier’s north face.

Darn. I cam hoping for cats and the concomitant conclusion that it’s Friday. Alas, no amount of wishing will get me past the conclusion that I’m stuck with Thursday for several more hours.
Meanwhile, nice pics of Seattle.
What lovely photos! It’s hard to imagine just being able to have a picnic and not be melting… your summer must be pleasantly mild. Keep on dancing!!
The sunset photo is just fab. The colors, the clouds and the point of view are eye candy. Thanks! It makes me cooler looking at it! Both kinds of cool, actually *grin*
