Parrot Tulips, originally uploaded by seacat.
I&#8217;m really into capturing spring this year in our garden.  This tulip is a favorite, always makes a late and dramatic entry. It&#8217;s almost tough to shoot because they&#8217;re a bit on the garish side. Enjoy!

towhee preening in the rain 2, originally uploaded by seacat.


Spring is here whether the Seattle weather knows it or not. I&#8217;ve posted some new bird pictures on flickr&#8211;the flighty and mighty red breasted nuthatch, and the rufous towhee.  Let me know what you think!

ABQ is about 200 feet higher or so, depending on where you are.

My friend Di ups the ante on that idea and suggests one in Big Sur, CA this coming Nov.  I protest, I dig in...and yet, somehow, I sort of agree.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=seacat.wordpress.com&blog=250899&post=525&subd=seacat&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

At 64, she quit smoking and took up running (this isn't the first time I've heard that sequence of events...). That was 20 years ago and at age 85, she's just completed 80 marathons.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=seacat.wordpress.com&blog=250899&post=518&subd=seacat&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, you can run in snow and ice.  I've even read an article by a runner in Colorado who puts sheet metal 1/2" screws in the soles of his running shoes to create "studded shoes" for ice running.  Yes, it can all be done and probably is done on a daily basis all over the frozen sections of the world.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=seacat.wordpress.com&blog=250899&post=515&subd=seacat&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Every single day, there's something new--a slightly different path, the weather, the angle of the sun, the birds, the other people out running...all different every day.
