London Fog

Have you ever tried on a London Fog raincoat? One of those long lush vintage ones with the rich thick fabric and the heavy buttons? I have always wanted one. I found one once at St Vinny's but it was too small so I had to leave it for the next special bargain searcher who happened to be a bit smaller than I. But those coats are the image of fall in the Northwest to me. This morning I couldn't get those raincoats out of my head as I navigated my way through the fog. The little bit of cars that were out at 6am were disappearing before my eyes as they got only yards ahead of me. It was strangely comforting, like being in your own private cloud that hid you from the rest of the world.
Kitsap Fog. Doesn't sound as luxurious, but still has its mystic. And perhaps an underlining dangerous vibe... just because of the area. Makes for alluring pictures though.
The leaves caught my eye too. They have been for some time now but I've just been too distracted and lost in space to stop and really look. I've only been giving them passing glances and fleeting thoughts of how pretty a picture that would make then going on my busy way. So today I took a few snap shots. It's a wonder how something so lifeless and cold can hold so much fiery passion before it decomposes and becomes one with the earth again.

Then  saw something that made me laugh out loud like a kid at 7am as I was wandering aimlessly around my neighborhood. Oh the joys of being a tortured youth... someone's parents out there are just thrilled at how popular their child must be.
Gone are the days of throwing the nerd's shoes up a power line... this generation puts Razor's in trees.

TGIF

I'm filled with a sense of adventure today.
I have a list of things to do...


We'll see how much I can get accomplished on this fresh fall day.

Float on Fluffy Fool


Yesterday was an interesting cloud day. If you were in the Pacific Northwest, and you happened to have your eyes to the sky, as I often find myself, you would have noticed that floating foolishly on top of the iridescent blue were fat, humorous, cotton ball clouds. At school, aspiring artists laid side by side on the grass transforming the bubbly white masses into majestic creatures and common household items. Driving through rural neighborhoods you could race after the rolling snowballs in the sky, on the ferry children were racing around the top deck under the watchful eyes of the chubby white Granny. Sitting in traffic on I-5 I found myself feeling jealousy for the giant balloons that got to billow free as a bird where ever the wind took them.
