A few wintry scenes around Seattle before Sam and I head for Portland on Friday!!  Lots of excitement being felt here!  Adam will be here on Thursday and we'll pack up and  head out!!
I may drop out of sight for a bit, but I'll have lots to share with you after the holidays!! 

I found this unhappy little sea gull looking for some warm sand one year when we had a white Christmas!!

  1. Looks like the huddled gull is standing in a busy spot between tire tracks and footprints. I think right after the picture was taken it must have flown away to warmer grounds perhaps like you. Have fun in Portland, Sylvia!
