Today’s challenge is to focus on one subject and make it simple. My offering is a dandelion, up close and personal.

Don’t forget your umbrella
Spring these days is by turns glorious and fierce. I’ve twice lately come home drenched from a walk that started out dry. March is doing it’s best to hang on to it’s “lion” reputation. Isn’t it time for more “lamb” weather?
Old timer
This Evergreen Towing truck looks like it’s seen many years of service.
We’re accustomed to modern hydraulics. There were more cables and pulleys in the “good old days.”
Church and spring
Happy Easter to those who celebrate this Christian holiday. Here’s a sweet looking church on Bainbridge Island.
Barbed wire
Foothills of the Olympic Mountains in the distance.
Annie
I saw Annie as she walked across a parking lot recently. She was a dog to stop people in their tracks and start a conversation with her person.
Annie is a Bergamasco sheepdog, a rare breed with an interesting history. It has several kinds of hair that grows and weaves together like dreadlocks as the pooch matures. It feels woolly to the touch. The breed historically guarded and herded sheep, originally in Asia, and eventually ended up in the Italian alps. The breed is considered friendly, intelligent, peaceful, and balanced. Annie seemed all of these things. As different as she looks she is one of the cutest dogs I’ve seen in a long time.
Rusting Rooster
The Rusting Rooster opened late last year in downtown Sequim. It certainly looks like a fun shop. It features “upcycled, repurposed, vintage, local art, and cool finds.” Can’t argue with that. At least for now it’s only open on Fridays and Saturdays.
There has been an assortment of businesses at this location. Since I’ve been here there has been an auto repair shop and auto detailing. And through it all the Texaco and the Chevron express lube signs have remained. At least one of the businesses tried to get the Chevron sign removed. After all, Chevron wasn’t there anymore. But Sequim has a sign code that doesn’t permit a sign to be removed if it’s been in place for some measure of time. At least I think that’s what it is. Truthfully, I don’t understand the code. Bottom line: the sign stays, even if Chevron doesn’t.
