home sick - taking a day trip

Last week I had to take Thurs and Fri off because I had been feeling under the weather most of the week. It wasn't a lie. I really needed a day off, physically and mentally. Close to the weekend I started feeling really claustrophobic in the house so I grabbed the camera and took a day trip to a park in West Seattle called Jack Block Park.

It was really interesting. It was where industrial meets Puget sound. I try to take all of my pictures in Raw format, so they are really large. If you want to see the detail in the pictures click on them to make them full screen.


the pier.

as if I wasn't feeling crappy enough, it was a really dreary day.

there was this area where all of these octopus had gotten stuck into the fence. Seriously creepy. They were all dried out from the sun but their eyeballs were still visible. Gross. I am NEVER eating Octopus.

you could see the space needle on all of the trails. It was cool. Not that I don't see enough of the space needle from my house. But this is a new perspective.

the whole park was very rustic. Which was cool because you had these parts where the beauty of the water and the plant life of the park kissed the metal and the rust of the industrial.

tracks meet dinosaurs.

beautiful fall colors.

an anchor.

the city unanimous with the bars.

this is a picture I took near my work. I thought that it fit well here because the rustic is running into nature.

The same day that I took my day trip the cat was at the vet getting spayed. She got home and was totally drugged out but wanting to play. So I took some pics of her in her "stoned" state. Her eyes were REALLY
dilated. It was hilarious.


She couldn't run without falling sideways. I didn't capture her falling over in this pic but you can see her adorable sleepy eyes.
