brucebIt rained quite a lot on Monday, leaving behind just the sort of legacy I have fun photographing. This is a bigger than usual update for me, with some behind a cut tag so as not to flood you all, but there are some things I want to call particular attention.

What I want to point out here is that I got this picture while sitting on the sidewalk, shooting up...and you know, it's been years since obesity and weakness let me do that without utter agony.

Honestly, from across the street - this is 180 degrees and a few steps away from me looking at Mt. Rainier to get its picture - I thought it was a huge black dog:
Now the flowers:
