Melting Music Museum!

This is the EMP (Experience Music Project) Museum in Seattle.  The building was designed by aliens Frank Gehry. I had to steal this aerial shot from the internet to really show you vaguely what this organic metallic structure looks like. 
This is the side entrance by the monorail



 Inside the walls are reflective like the exterior, it's hard to tell from the photo what is window and what is wall.



 Colors are not enhanced by photoshop... it really looks like an amazon butterfly.  A metal butterfly.
Next up; inside the building...

Quiet.

Yes... I escaped!  It was a glorious four day Seattle excursion.  I had an amazing time, saw people I love, spent a day in a museum, tried new foods, met new people... it was good... but I am feeling rather quiet, perhaps just tired, so I am afraid the real blogging will be coming soon.  Sorry Mom and Dad, I'll call or blog soon-ish.  Jacquie says I'm a bad daughter for not calling to let you know my plane didn't crash into the ocean, so yea maybe so.  All is well, I took a surprising amount of photos... please stand by.

The collective has spoken.

Despite the well meaning people who think clowns are fun, the Google auto-fill knows what is really on our minds.  By Merely typing "clowns are"  This is what you get;




The European version of clown (not full white face, no Bozo talking) is slightly less scary, but really perhaps it's just time to retire this cultural phenomenon.  Balloon animals are just as enjoyable when they are made by someone not wearing any make up at all.

Lightning!

A local photographer caught this image during the rather turbulent storm we had yesterday.  I was safely bunkered in my shop cleaning...
