Just My Rambling

It’s a little cloudy but the blue sky finally made a grand entrance after been missing for 2 days. This weekend, we had a miserable weekend of snow, sleet and even hail! It is such a joy to see the blue sky even if it’s just for an hour before it’s night time. The weather has been a little crazy lately. Normally the temperature is in the 60s this time of the year but it was been in the 30s the past 2 days. I was planning to show beautiful tulip photos this weekend but the plan to visit the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival had to be cancelled due to the snow. Hopefully the tulips will still be in bloom next week!

Hope the weather’s great wherever you are. Have a great week, everyone!

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.

Thanks for visiting my PhotoHunt. Have a great weekend.

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.

I love winter and this winter season has been lots of fun with lots of snow. However I was thrilled to see these at the market today! The first tulips of the season! It’s always nice to see the first blooms of the spring. So bright, colorful & cheerful!! Doesn’t it just brighten your day too??

Thanks for visiting and have a great week ahead, everyone.

I am not sure how heavy this bear and bison are but I am sure that they are very HEAVY. As cute as they look, I will definitely prefer to keep my distance!!

Edited to add: These photos were taken at Olympic Game Farm in Sequim, WA. It’s a drive-through farm where we actually do come very close to the animals. In fact, this bison was just sitting probably about 5 feet away from our car.

Thanks for visiting my PhotoHunt. Have a great weekend.

I am not sure how whether it is happening all over the US but over here in the West Coast, I have noticed that houses are getting closer and closer to each other. I took this photo in a new housing community near my place. Look at the narrow gap between the 2 houses. The interesting fact is that these houses not cheap houses. They cost well over 1/2 million. I would imagine if I were to pay this much for a house, I would love to have a little privacy. Don’t you agree? :) 

Thanks for visiting my PhotoHunt. Have a great weekend!

We were driving out of the church parking lot when I noticed these trees. I think they just look so cool. Bald trees against a gloomy cloudy background. Looks like something from a painting, don’t you think?

Thanks for visiting and have a great week ahead, everyone.

This was a hard theme for me but I think this will fit the theme. It’s probably more antique than old-fashioned.  I found this on display while visiting a local winery. Thanks for visiting my PhotoHunt. Have a great weekend!

It’s very IMPORTANT to wear safety gears when rollerblading even if it’s just a kiddie rollerblade!
