Capitol Hill Pride Festival, on Broadway in Seattle.

AAW - This week's assignment is to take a picture of something that is REFRESHING to you.

Cravings! Orange Juice.. I can't get enough of and it tastes like never before.. Soooo good!

There's already lots of beverages this week but I've never done a beverage before so I was looking forward to it.

WIT: I put a dining room chair on the table and then used one of my husbands shirts to create the background and wrinkles. He kindly held a light from above illuminating the ice cubes and bringing out the blue in the shirt wrinkles.

In post I had to straighten it slightly and I added just a touch of highlight and shadow in Picasa.

Just a little refreshing we green picture between black & dark urban photos sessions.

Just what's needed on a hot, sweaty summer day is some ice-chilled lime juice. I love Bangkok.

A famous film location, anyone guess?? Swoon swoon ;)

Canada goose at Rotary Park in town....appears to be a loner...no other goose or geese around....only him...

Alberta,Canada....

Sew Inspiring

Sometimes I forget how refreshing it is to get out and welcome the day in person - while standing ankle deep in ocean water.

You know what else is refreshing? A nearly 16 year old daughter who walks into your room at 5:10 a.m. and reminds you it's time to go to the beach to see the sunrise - on a Saturday. : )

P.S. Yes, I did actually make it into a picture. : )

Addo Elephant Park

100 degree days are rare in western Oregon but this weekend it was hot! What better place to be than in the mist of a Cascade mountain waterfall? Ramona Falls is about an hour east of Portland on the western flank of Mt. Hood.

This young starling doesn't yet have a matching 'hat and jacket' :)

Thanks for all views, comments and fave adds.

I had plenty of tea on Friday afternoon, it was 87 degrees here. When the temperature gets over 78 degrees, I head indoors.
