Day 70 for President Obama!

Just a quick note to wish you well on your first big official overseas trip since you became president Mr.Obama.

I'm not sure what your itinerary is but I'm sure you will be very well received wherever you go.

It is so comforting to believe that you will put the people's business first, not like the last guy. It's also comforting to know that when you speak--you will do us proud and not send us into fits of laughter, or make us want to die of shame, like the last guy did.

So have a good trip, enjoy the food and come home safe and sound.

Tomorrow I will add a few more words about things in this country, that are quite unbelievable.

Yet another view through my tree!

 

The view through my tree!

In the first image--you see a close-up of the new snow on the Olympic mountains as seen through the branches of my tree.

The shot above it shows the long-distance version, just concentrating on the water view, which changes every minute of every day.

The day was misty to start with, and my camera is fairly basic.

Hope you enjoy anyway.

 

 

Lights Off around the world!

Apparently this event originated in Australia in 2007 and participation has grown so much, that more than 4000 cities and towns across the world took part last night.

How cool is that? It just shows that we really are all so united when it counts, when we can put aside our personal and political points of view for just a little while and work together towards a common cause--like SURVIVAL!

People in a research station in Antarctica, in Egypt--around the Great Pyramids, the Empire State building in New York City and here in Seattle and the 'burbs'--everywhere we gave our message to the 'powers that be' to fight 'Global Warming' and the associated climate changes it brings.

So I'm proud of my Aussies and all the great folks who turned their lights off last night, and I say thanks to you all!
