Serendiputous walks




I've become a walker... a pedestrian. Well, not that I wasn't walking before, but I know for a fact I prefer to walk. Sure these narrow concrete passageways lined with methodically used cars supposedly allow one to get from from Point A to Point B faster, but why choose that route as within the confines of a vehicle you cannot stop to enjoy the changing season, and the serendipitous images waiting to be captured.  Below you will see a wandering cat that followed us home a block after a certain walking partner of mine attempted an empathetic approach to it.

As a pedestrian, I have also been given the opportunity to absorb images I'm pretty sure too many Seattleans take for granted -- the basic neighborhood scenery. This is in fact the norm, and it is amazing.

And if you were disgusted, then you probably ignored it. If you are enticed, then here is the explanation -- Yes, that is a real spider. A big spider. It likes to call the front entrance to our building home, catching people's hair almost as often as it's actual dinner.
