It's raining cats and dogs and will be for the next couple days.The "Pineapple Express," a common moist weather system that comes in from Hawaii, is chugging through. I got a flat tire and had to hobble to the tire center to get a fix. It was about time to get new tires on the back , anyway. The lines were very long with people having their storm and snow tires installed before those Thanksgiving road trips through snowy passes to be with kith and kin. I wasn't wearing shoes I could walk home in the rain in, so I waited for the work to be completed. I wasn't prepared like this fellow. He could go out in whatever hits the street and be just fine :-). Happy Friday everyone. Tonight I will be meeting our CDPBlogging friend Meead who is in Seattle with a group from his university attending a conference at UW.
SDP on CNN: CNN International interviewed me a few weeks back for the "Local View" feature of their webpage for their program "My City-My Life" featuring Seattle native Quincy Jones. They chose eight photos for a linked gallery and really put together a wonderful site to find out about all things Seattle. (Thanks to Chuck of Almost One a Day who punted to me because he was out of town and knew I love music). The program is airing several times over the next few days. It was fun to learn of Scott, a neighborhood news blogger in the Central District where "Q" grew up, who was also interviewed for the feature.

Hi there! I just got back from china and it is taking some time to visit everyone who dropped by while I was away. You got a really nice place here and I feel really terrible about the Tuba man. Stay dry and watch out for falling pineapples.
What a shot. The light, the boot. Fabulous.did you put the camera on the ground? I'm intrigued how you got this. I just love it.
Sorry about the flat tyre- raining cats and dogs here too.
Say Hello to the lovely Meead from me.
Exactly WHERE were you when you took this? I looks like you slippped on the wet pavement, went down and decided to take a fabulous photo before you got back up!HA

Well when I click on your post I find no picture--so I did it a few more times--nice text--no picture. It's very wet out here too. MB
Kim, this is a great shot. Hope you hadn't dropped your camera and decided to take a shot while it was down!
Had never heard of the Pineapple Express...
A big hello to Meead from Bibi in Belgrade.
Did you get a new camera with the movable LCD? Sure works.
Thanks for your concern about my possible slip! Yes, I did set the camera on the sidewalk for this (the tripod mount plate keeps the actual body off the wet pavement nicely). I've been working in a series of feet shots for another project, and have quite a collection going :-). And no, Abe, I didn't get a new camera. But I've got to start using my camera's "live view" feature (which I don't yet) to start doing low shots. People would notice me less if I were standing and using a cable release while still able to keep an eye on the screen. I'll have to try it. . .but the screen doesn't swivel up, Abe. I'll still get a stiff neck if I do it much ;^).

Please tell me you weren't laying on the wet ground to take this excellent shot!
Oops, just read your explanation. Glad you don't have to get wet for these shots! ;-)
Another shot I absolutely love. The colours, the textures, and the water on the sidewalk all caught my eye. Beautiful.
Wow this a fantastic shot. And thank you so much for the comments you made on my blog, comments like that make it all worth it.
Cheers
Guy

Wonderful interview with you on CNN! Our very own celebrity! Well, you and Meead.
Kim, very cool! What a nice piece you helped CNN put together. Sheesh! Believe it or not, I'd forgotten all about that inquiry I sent your way. So glad you were able to field it so well. Congratulations!!
I finally get to see the boots. LOL
Great CNN piece. MB
Congrats on your mention on CNN! Nice to get top billing like that for a blog that is one of the best out there. Your pictures of Seattle are spectacular and I hope the notice by CNN brings more appreciative readers your way.
