Roadside sign for Fabricare Dry Cleaners in Lakewood, Washington
9622 Gravelly Lake Dr SW, Lakewood, WA 98499
I so should have taken this sighting of a buzzard high up in a dead tree at the beginning of the trail as a sign and not walked down it a week ago today. But it was called the Woodland Trail with a promise of an overlook where we Might see ponies and I thought... Woodland would indicate a nice shady walk under thick full trees. Right? Wrong! The temps in the early morning were as cool as they would be all day (upper 80's). Out in the bright, HOT sun we trudged along. I tried to pretend I wasn't melting. I haven't done all that much walking since the hip replacement either. Hot sun and Mosquitos! I was pretty sure they had plans to carry me off. We had gone about a half a mile in these conditions when we met a bicyclist coming toward us so we asked how much further and she said... "Oh just a little ways". Well a little ways to someone on a bike and a little ways to someone walking can be two very different things indeed! I went around the next curve and saw no end insight. I just stopped in the middle of the oven baking road and looked at Anita and said.... "That's it. I'm done! no pony or bird is worth this torture!" at which point about 20 mosquitoes landed on each bare leg and began feasting. If I could have run I would have! Eventually I was able to drag myself back all the while keeping Anita in laughter with my comments about sweating and heat and how we were all going to die out there in the wilderness. Happily I Did survive it all and we were able to go look for the ponies elsewhere having never seen one on this trail and no birds either except one dove and one cowbird! Well, it's cooler today and we are off adventuring! Have a wonderful, mosquito free day everyone! :)
I went to Cypressmede Park to look for signs of spring wildflowers. There were the glimmerings of little shoots here and there. This little Red-backed Salamander was a pleasant find on a warm early spring day.

Did an Urbex trip into Detroit recently.
4 years and counting, since this #cocacola ghost sign was revealed when the building next to it was torn down. I figured the sign was from the 1930s. Slowly the building is falling apart with graffiti showing up inside the structuring. Not sure what those red painted areas are, since they did not exist four years ago. Maybe someone painted over some offensive tagging.

One of the few neon signs found in the very long Ocean City, MD. The only good thing about the gloomy sky was that I could see it was on.
I'm starting to see more and more trees with little green leaves growing on them and the past two days have been warm and sunny. The weather forecast for the rest of the month shows similar weather with the occassional rain storm. It's hard to have a bad day with this kind of external change.
The sign at the lodge where we rented the snowmobiles. It might have been meant for the restaurant/bar. Not sure.
Pinted in 1915 for advertisement of a new apartment the sign is still on the same spot the building is now used by a travel agent
The parting message of this old marquee is lost to time. The faint outline of the Hard Rock Cafe letters show the last tenet of this now abandoned downtown Seattle building.
One of the most iconic signs in the world and American culture, the Hollywood Sign is certainly a popular tourist attraction and one that is a must see landmark. This photo was taken from the Griffith Observatory that looks all over Los Angeles. This too, is an amazing place to visit as the landscape visible here is truly awe-inspiring.
