Return on the Issaquah

 

[FF22]

I did my usual 23 mile urban loop through some of its less urban views. With a start near Greenlake and then on to and through the Ship Canal, Discovery Park, Smith Cove Park, Myrtle Edwards Park and Seattle Center.


"June Gloom" in all of its cloudy glory.



Somehow, between Burlington Northern and the Port of Seattle they carved out a narrow bike (running) path between their respective properties. In a few places it is barely a bicycle handlebar wide. Newly paved in the last week, all of those trees have roots that like to heave the pavement. At the far end of this segment is a narrowed angled bridge over the tracks. Always fun with runners or other bikes in either direction.



I've pictured "Upon, Adjacent, whatever" before with the mostly defunct newspaper Post-Intelligencer Globe.



Echo (which has echoes in other places around the globe) at the Olympic Sculpture Park at the north end of downtown.



Seattle Center which I ride through is UPhill in the background here.




"Upon, Adjacent", as seen from above on the pedestrian/bike bridge over Burlington Northern tracks and connecting Myrtle Edwards Park and Queen Anne Hill

Good morning Mr lion.

Well, it was time for another non-veggie meal but one loaded with veggies. Oxtail Stew ala ME! Well, really what else does one do on a drizzly, dreary, June (sure?) day in Seattle. Highs topping out at 57F

Trim away the extra fat.


Dust in flour and herbs


Brown the oxtails



Chop and add the veggies (potatoes later)

Bring to a boil and then simmer before placing in oven

My wife's flight arrival was delayed. Had to drive around a bit and caught this image.

A visit to the Tacoma (WA) Museum of Glass

The cone shaped structure is the chimney over the Hot Shop - glass blowing studio.

Glass neon cyclone fencing!



Two glass utilitarian objects





There's a glass laptop in this office scene.

Tacoma Dome in background. The dome is made of laminated wood. I really preferred it when all the curved wood still showed.

Awesome photos!

 

[FF22]

And a few more I missed

In and out of the furnace for each stage of formation. (As an aside, some of the hot shop pictures were initially too large to attach and needed reduction as did the last image, a Chihuly) None of the others in the above posts or in this group were too large.)

Today's hike - Little Si

The trail is like this




And like this



And this




Climber on ledge just right of center tree





View from the top



There's Mt Si looming 3000 feet of more uphill hiking



You can tell how moist this area is. Check out the moss on those boulders

 

[FF22]

Dinner. Late but dinner nonetheless. A little curry powder on the tail end.

 

[FF22]

A visit to another Tacoma Museum - the Tacoma Art Museum

As you might figure out, I really like glass but there was some other interesting pieces.

But I must say I was intrigued by the painting of clear glass bottles. How the hell can one paint invisible glass?

A bit more









Explain this art:


Here's its title


It reminded me of checking into a small hotel in Europe without an elevator!




And what I did in the morning before the museum excursion

 

[FF22]

After an early morning, hot bike ride and after lunch I decided to relax a bit. Gin, with rhubarb syrup and soda water.

 

[FF22]

I was heading off to bed and passed by this dark table of stuff and thought "let's see!"

Just a bit murky.



Then I remembered Night Mode or whatever it is called and decided again "let's see!"




I was completely shocked that something actually showed.

I just got an idea for the next big A24 horror movie ...

I can only imagine what the pizza toppings would be made from!
