We had a gorgeous weekend recently. Of course that weekend passed and not it's back to good old Seattle gloom. I took all these pictures at the farmer's market in nearby Ballard.

We did have some snow around these parts. Although a three day snow storm in Seattle is such a zany interlude. It comes on strong and then leaves just about as soon as it gets here. Lucky for me I can easily work from home for a few days so I didn't much have to brave the elements. I spent part of the first day traipsing across the Aurora Bridge in sideways sleet and made it to Kerry Park for the view (which you can see too in the top picture).

My friend Tess is an incredible animator. She made this movie. She animated it on a huge wall in Seattle's Capital Hill neighborhood. It's a temporary wall, part of a huge construction project that is putting underground light-rail in Seattle (aside: about time!). Tess and her co-animators in the Seattle Experimental Animation Team are taking turns animating stories on these temporary walls. Another animator in Tess's circle, Drew Christie, does great work and has a snazzy new website. Trust me you'll love it.
