We loved the Musée Picasso Paris! Have you visited the Musée de l'Orangerie? Art fills the heart.

Oh, and dessert-wise - try a meringue Aux Merveilleux de Fred (multiple locations). We went on our last day and still dreaming of them. :-) Let us know what you think if you go.

The #Artemis II crew are now further from home than any humans ever.

Sunshiney Saturday! Spent the day in West Seattle, walking along Alki Beach, then a drive to Lincoln Park for more beach and to meet Bruunidun, the flute-playing Thomas Dambo troll. Stellar views of the skyline and Olympic Mountains, sea stars, sea lions, and lots of happy people out and about.

Overlooking the parade grounds in the Fort Lawton Historic District of Discovery Park, Seattle. Large green field, a bit of Puget Sound in the distance, and looming clouds.

Amazing!

Indeed - we were just out ourselves. Is that an orca???!!! Beautiful - where was this?

At Discovery Park again today - less of a low tide than our last visit - but much more Mt Rainer!

Beautiful Seattle day - hope you had/have a chance to get outdoors!

The visuals were magical as was the sense of community - people gathered among the cherry trees, sharing joy. The trees were gifted to Seattle by Japan as a symbol of peace, goodwill, and friendship - that vibe filled the night. #uwcherryblossoms #seattle #udistrictcherryblossomfestival #uwquad

Pink lights shine at night on the 90-year-old Yoshino cherry trees in full bloom on the University of Washington campus creating a magical display.

The 90-year-old Yoshino cherry trees in full bloom on the UW campus! Add it to your spring must-do list. The pink lights were a one-night wonder, but the blossoms will be dazzling for about two more weeks. If the sight doesn’t sweep you away, the sweet fragrance will. #uwcherryblossoms #seattle

Approx month old heron chick in a tree - they are already about 1-2 feet tall - this one has a bewildered expression as it has fallen from it's nest before being quite ready to fly.

Great Blue heron chick - almost looking at me.
This one fell from it's nest before it was ready... wondering what to do next. Taken May 2024 at Seattle's largest colony at Commodore Park, adjacent the Ballard Locks. Highly recommend for birders + nature photographers! #BirdOfTheDay #LookingAtMe
