This wedding party "visited" the Ed Griffiths Pedestrian Pass on Saturday. They passed through into the H. Pearson Plaza.

One of the members of the wedding party shared my fascination and respect for honey bees and their importance to crop pollination. She agreed to let me photograph her art and share it. Thank you to M.C.

Stagenorth Theater presents Cyrano de Bergerac

A work in progress. Check it out. Hint: Ondossagon Road.

I've been watching this progress for a couple of years now. I'd like to stop and add my own stone.

A new addition to the camper. It's very own quilt.

Our camper now has it's own theme quilt. A fishing theme should be no surprise to anyone who knows us or reads this blog.  The quilt was handmade by Donna...... mostly on the QT. It was only when she needed help deciding which was a Northern Pike and which was a Muskie that I was told about the "surprise".

And here it is in the camper. I think it adds a little style and class to our traveling quarters.

This is the main theme area at the top and bottom of the quilt.

Each corner has it's own unique panel. This is a "dandelion" which has special meaning to my life long love of fishing.

This is the upper right corner panel. Not a half bad cast.

This is the lower left corner. The reel is made of individual piece of cloth stitched together to make  a great looking fly casting reel.

This is the lower right corner. A fishing creel. By the way it is full with our limit for the day.

Transferring the flame to Carol "Coke" Lindsey and her mother Betty bring the bay area's version of the Olympic Torch to Stage North in Washburn Friday, honoring the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Lindsey took part in the Summer Olympics of 1984 as part of the U.S. team handball team, and also carried the Olympic torch for the Atlanta games in 1996. Lindsey said it was fitting that her mother join her for the final leg of the Ashland to Washburn torch run, because of the support she had given Lindsey in her Olympic efforts.
