Just My Rambling

Cruising along the Hubbard Glacier in Alaska on a BRIGHT sunny day which is not a common sight in Alaska. Usually it’s pretty cloudy or gloomy or rainy.

Wow, this theme was much harder than I thought! I went through a lot of my photos and had a hard time finding one that fits this theme. Luckily I came across this one. The little one is having a messy hair day!

What happens when you have a 3 year old princess wannabe  at home? You end up with lots of sparkly princess shoes! These are her 2 current favorites.  They are worn all day long together with her princess gowns, tiara, wand and whatever else that befits a princess.  :P

This week’s theme is candy and so here are some jellybeans.

Speaking of jellybeans, meet Mr JellyBelly! The following photos were taken at the Jelly Belly Factory in Fairfield, California.

The fancy jellybelly car

This picture is made up of thousands of jelly beans. This is one of the smaller ones. There were others that were much bigger.  I can’t imagine how long they took to put a picture together.

I finally made it out to the 2008 Skagit Valley Tulip Festival two weekends ago. This festival is held in April every year. Usually by the end of April, the blooms are all gone but the bizarre cold weather this year has really affected the tulips. Even though we were there at the end of April, some tulip didn’t bloom, some just started blooming while others are already at full bloom. The tulips were gorgeous but it probably would have been better if everyone of them were in full bloom. Hope you enjoy the photos.

My favorite time of the night. It’s supposed to be 9 pm but I missed it by 9 minutes. Oh well, it’s close enough. Anyway, 9 pm is bedtime for my little one. As much as I love her, I really love it when she goes to bed. Then it’s my time to do whatever I want whether it’s blogging, reading a book, or watching TV. It’s just a time for me to relax before the day ends. What about you? What is your favorite time of the day?

What’s so unique about this sign?

Usually speed limits are posted at 10 mph, 15 mph, 20 mph and so on. Rarely can you find one that says 9 mph, don’t you agree? Actually the person-in-charge did that on purpose, hoping that drivers will take a second look and really do slow down.

Edited to add: This speed limit is located in a housing community that’s why it’s super slow.

What can you find scattered all over the house when you have a 3 year old? Crayons!!! With no difficulty, I managed to find 13 of them immediately. They make great photos, don’t they?

I am so glad that they make washable crayons nowadays. Don’t you agree? Now I don’t have to worry about my little one drawing on places where she’s not supposed to. The crayon marks come right off with a wet wipe. It definitely makes my life easier.

I was looking high and low all over the house trying to find something that will fit this week’s theme. Then I realized that it was under my nose all this while!! It had been sitting on my kitchen window all along. It’s my lucky bamboo plant. Isn’t it cute? I just love how the plant is all twisted up!

It seems like it has been a long time since I did Photo Hunters. It’s good to be back. For this week’s theme, I thought I would show a couple of bridges here in the Pacific Northwest.

This one’s called The Bridge of the Gods. It spans the Columbia River between Washington and Oregon.  

 This is the Deception Pass Bridge. It connects Whidbey Island to Fidalgo Island in Washington.

Hope you enjoyed the photos. Thanks for visiting my PhotoHunt. Have a great weekend.
