Some quick pictures with my 9 Pro Fold

Okay, I was checking the Pixel 10 Fold Forum, as lively as this place but figured I post some photos of my visit to the Chihuly Gardens and Glass Museum here in good ol' raining Seattle.

She saw a couple she'd be willing to own. She is a bit opinionated!

But she was willing to own the whole boat and floats!

Okay as long as I'm here!!!

My Larch tree turning gold in the fall. A "pine" like tree that loses its needles in the fall.

Your Larch tree is cool. I never heard of Larch trees before. Are they easy or hard to look after?
I've tried killing it - inadvertantly. They generally grow at around 6,000 feet in poor, rocky soil. So, they like water but not too much as they grow in good draining soil. They are spectacular in the Fall, when hundreds of them turn a golden hue. I believe that nurseries have a few varieties. The needles are incredibly soft and the branches very springy so that they bend under the weight of snow but don't easily break off.

Here's my phone wallpaper. Carne Mt in the snow:

Same time of year but different weather conditions.

The Seattle Art Museum's current show is Farm to Table - mainly Impressionists.

The first image blew us away. A grand piece at the entrance to the exhibition

More from the cool exhibit and it was quite good. My friend proclaimed it the best she's seen at the SAM.

Of course, this being Seattle, there's a bit of political correctness....

The ceiling of the entry lobby. The suspended art changes about every three or four years. Not truly moved by this!

The previous tree was superb

And prior to that were the crashing, tumbling cars - interesting?

Well, I was sticking my noise out the door this morning to check the weather (why, since in Seattle it is alway rain!) and I heard a voice down the street. It was getting closer and louder

Finally, he appears and is shouting Merry Christmas. So with that opening...

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL and a Happy New Year
