Seattle Snowman

December 14, 2008

Here is Carl’s first effort of the season (or maybe the last of 2008)

12-13-08 Snow

12-13-08 Snow

Mr. Man was built after we returned from the Seattle Women’s Chorus. Great show. Ashlan and her friend, both just back from school, both had sinking spells during quiet parts of the show, but going on a few hours of sleep, and then hearing a beautiful version of Silent Night will do that to you.  It continued to snow over night, light & dry.

Rey update – still in Montana – waiting for Monday when it is supposed to be flurries and partly sunny.

Canada trip update – forgot to add this into yesterday’s report. Between the Canadian border and Vancouver proper there is an area that is flat, mostly fields and wetlands. In both directions there were seagulls, various smaller birds, swans and bald eagles. 8 eagles counted on the drive north, 9 on the drive south. The first one I saw was fairly low and really caught my eye. Then they seemed to be everywhere. As I was watching one out the windsheild, a different sort of bird appeared over the top of the car. A red helicopter going up the freeway. I am sure this was a RCMP on a different sort of mount.
