Show us what makes you want to get out of bed in the morning.

Here are a few pictures I took at the local park. When I was a kid we used to feed the ducks our stale bread here. Now we are not allowed, the ducks poop too much. This is a pond that has formed from a creek that feeds a local river. Taking all of the melted snow and rain from Mt. Rainier into the ocean. When I was a teen, my friend and I would park her car, Zoomie, in the parking lot, open the doors and blast Tori Amos or the Beatles out of her stock stereo and dance in the damp grass under the sparkling stars. This was the one time I felt SO free. We would also see who was hooking up this weekend, there was always another car kind of fogged up and rockin'. Many an embarrassed classmate would wave nervously at us as they left. Haha! Good Times!
went to husbands company christmas party on saturday and took this. :) Happy holidays to some and bah humbug to the rest. :)
So here is my offering from yesterday.
I layered my clothes as much as I could. It was chilly yesterday. The sun was warm though.
I went to my favorite antique store where they gave me a large scrapbook from 1935 with hundreds of pages filled with newspaper clippings about the Dion Quintuplets. They were an oddity back then, for a woman to have 5 babies, and lived through it as well as the babies. The children were basically taken away from the parents by the Doctor who said they needed constant supervision. He made them a sideshow attraction. People drove from all over to watch them play, eat, sleep, and cry. This is how these girls were raised. Reality TV before TV. I saw a documentary about them and interviews with three of the girls. They talked about how hard it was to be raised by nurses rather than parents. Who by the way never saw a penny from the sideshow racket. They were eventually not allowed to even view the children from the visitors area.
Sad.

How bout some color?
Whenever my husband go into Tacoma, I see this from the freeway coming in. I think it is so striking, and drats, no camera with me! But today was different, we were going to the grocery store (Metropolitan market has a big cheese dept.) And I had my camera. I snapped a bunch of pictures, here are a few.
They can symbolize SO MUCH!
the old building reflected in the shiny new buildings windows. The way the newer generations tend to distort the past a bit, maybe incidental, maybe intentional. So Many things! I just love this image, and thought maybe you can see something too.
I used my kodak easyshare digital camera for these and all of my photos. She is such a good little camera.
