Seattle was first settled November 13, 1851 by Arthur Denny and his crew, which would subsequently become known as the Denny party. Its first name was New York, then Duwamps, then finally it was renamed Seattle named after Chief Noah Sealth who was chief of the two tribes living in the area ("Seattle" is an anglicized rendition of his last name). As of 2005, the city had an estimated population of 573,911[1] and a metropolitan population of about 3.8 million. Seattle is the hub for the Greater Puget Sound region. Its official nickname is the Emerald City, the result of a contest by a civic-minded association in the early 1980s to designate a pleasant nickname for the city [3]; the name alludes to the lush evergreen trees in the surrounding area. It is also referred to informally as the Rainy City (also Rain City), the Gateway to Alaska, Queen City, and Jet City, due to the local influence of Boeing. Seattle residents are known as Seattleites. -- Source: Wikipedia.com

Seattle's moist climate plus a shady spot tend to be a perfect combination to foster growth of moss and fungi, like on this headstone beneath a sheltering tree in Mount Pleasant Cemetery. I've heard it said that the dash between our birth and death dates represents the period of our lives. When those who knew us are gone too, is the memory of who we were lost? Does time slowly fade all trace of us? Moss and lichen here have chosen to embellish someone's memory with color and texture. Perhaps best to pick a sunny plot to avoid nature's artistry :-).

Who choreographed these two guys relaxing and watching a ferry make its way across the Sound? :-) The Seattle area is having a week-long warm spell that is not expected to end until next Tuesday. It is a great time to get out on the water. Orcas were spotted recently right in Elliott Bay, visible from piers along the Alaskan Way waterfront. They were just visitors passing through, though. There are 3 pods that live in Puget Sound and they mostly like to hang out up in the San Juan Islands closer to the Canadian border.
PS: Can any fellow bloggers advise me on the CSS code I might use to lower my blog title to the bottom portion of the header photo? I've tried a couple things with no movement south yet. Thanks!

With a fist full of cool cucumber and good eats all around her this Ballard Farmers Market vendor is taking a lunch break in the midst of the street market's hustle and bustle. The market is open on Sundays all year round.

Sorry for the intermittent posts. My internet and blog site providers decided to freeze me out of access, so posts I've attempted to make didn't go through. Hope you see this one :-).
I'm off to Paris in the morning and will be (hopefully, iPad and wifi connections willing) posting daily post cards to you from there.

Thanks for hanging in there with intermittent posting. I've been working two jobs this past year and am now taking a class on top of that, so the photography ops have suffered as well as time to post. Hopefully, I'm back to daily posting now. Heading to Paris in 10 days, so that should be rejuvenating :-).

In Rego Park, New York, a Jewish deli cooking up third-generation recipes for stuffed cabbage and kreplach.
