Seattle Photos, the Funny Ones

Of course, as you may have expected, the trip wasn’t all serious. Look for a few Travelogue entries soon to elaborate…



From the Philadelphia Airport, with love…


Either this guy just really loves the UPS Store, or maybe he works there…


Teeheehee … boobies.


And here’s two frogs doing it in the privacy of the Pacific Science Center…


But we’ll end on the monkey. Admit it – he’s adorable.

Seattle Photos, the Pretty Ones

Posted on by Scott / 0 Comment

I finally started going through my photos from our trip last weekend to Seattle and I was pleasantly surprised at just how well so many of them actually turned out. It makes me realize all the more that I need a classy gallery component on a website somewhere to catalog the digital imagery from my great adventures. I look back to the install of Gallery that I was using a few years ago and it was pushing 3000 images, but I stopped adding to that a while ago because I’m not so happy with the format anymore. Eventually one of these days I need to revisit the whole project and see if I can revive it – maybe I can still use the Gallery engine and just embed it into another site like I’m doing on my site with Sara these days (although bigger pics, obviously). I’ve also considered using Flickr because I’ve been using it to host my D&D photos, but I’m not super crazy about paying another subscription when I already pay monthly web hosting fees to do something myself.

Anywho, here are a few of the more majestic shots that I liked:



Taken at the Pike’s Place Market in Downtown Seattle – lots of nice colors


Same locale – there were just tons of vendors selling these beautiful bouquets of flowers for anywhere from $5 – $20 each … made anything I’ve ever paid triple that for from a florist around here look like a big vase full of crap!


If you haven’t heard, it rains a lot in Seattle … good news is, I figured out how to use the Digital Macro setting on my camera!


From the top of the Space Needle, looking out over the city


At the foot of some beautiful mountains, just before we almost killed ourselves trying to hike them…

  • 00:21 C’ya Seattle… twitpic.com/1ywsjo #
  • 00:53 Cramped Airplane – CHECK. Crying Baby – CHECK. Tensions already running high – let’s get this 6-hour rodeo started! #
  • 06:16 One long flight down, one shorter flight to go. Very much looking forward to a comfy, non-turbulent bed back at home! #
  • 06:35 Connecting flight just got changed to a new terminal – I knew this trip home seemed too easy… #
  • 06:53 LEGO Liberty Bell – Philadelphia just got 110% cooler!!! twitpic.com/1yyw2l #
  • 07:06 Nothing like a gate change across the entire airport – can’t wait for this US Air experience to be OVER!!! #
  • 07:19 So with all of my negative tweets about flying US Air this trip, can someone recommend a QUALITY airline who CARES about service??? #
  • 07:21 We used to fly AirTran, but they started sucking. I’ve heard good things about Southwest, but not sure how much they fly out of Tampa. #
  • 07:23 There’s just gotta be an airline who doesn’t make flying an absolutely horrible experience. #
  • 07:24 No extra fees is a big one after this trip – we paid another $91 between baggage and "choice seats" just so we could sit together. #
  • 07:25 I’d be happy to pay a little more upfront to know that there won’t be fees later and I’ll get treated halfway decently. #
  • 12:43 Oof – finally home sweet home. Flying is hard. Time for a nap… #

  • 01:36 Sitting down to watch the Twilight movies with wife & friends – if I wake up gay tomorrow, at least you’ll know why… #
  • 01:59 Admittedly, he does have pretty dreamy eyes…0 #
  • 02:31 I don’t get this movie any more than I get women – "Oooh – I love me a man who could suck my blood!" #
  • 15:03 Fuck @usairways – they didn’t assign us ANY seats going home, so we have to either pay $15 each to pick now or take whatever at the airport. #
  • 15:04 When I’m paying $900+ to fly with you, the least you can do is give me fucking seats next to each other. @usairways #sucks #
  • 15:04 I hate flying. Friendly skies, my ass… @usairways #sucks #
  • 17:05 Getting ready to take to the trails of the Washington wilderness – if we’re not back in 5 hours, send a search party. #
  • 17:09 Something tells me the only tweeting I’m going to hear for a while is going to be from actual birds… #

  • 20:02 Made it off the mountain, hips hating me and l
    egs now the consistency of jelly. #
  • 20:02 Remember kids, friends don’t let overweight, out of shape friends go hiking. #
  • 23:34 Running late at the airport – for all of the shit we’ve had on the trip, it’d be nice if US Air had more than two people working the counter #
  • 23:40 Checked in after getting held up by slow people who wouldn’t move up to open kiosks. Now waiting in massive security line. #
  • 23:47 Little kid keeps running into my laptop bag – his head must really be hurting by now… #
  • 23:47 For a while I was trying to move it out of his way, but we’re done with me being
    nice. This line is too damn long for that. #
