happy independence day to all my fellow americans, and happy friday/saturday to all the rest of you. it was my very fav weather today; gray, overcast, drizzling rain and about 55F. perfect for wiping pollen and other irritants out of the air and remaing cool. had to use a flash for this as light was so low. this hedge is right behind the bus stop nearest my apartment and while it is very beautiful and lush it is also one of my allergic irritants tho it was no problem today. i thought these were beautiful with the water on them and shot with very low flash to try to keep as much of the luster of the 'wet look' as possible. for scale the leaf at the bottom is about 1.5 inches long. for you who enjoy the bus paint jobs i also captured another one of them i've been wanting to -

many of the wta (whatcom transit authority - whatcom is the county i live in) buses have decorative paint jobs. there are a couple that are particularly special. this is one of them. children from the area were encouraged to submit drawings and then some of these were chosen to be enlarged and used to decorate the coaches. this is my fav as the cat hula dancing in the grass skirt makes me smile and feel a bit more hopeful for this poor benighted world everytime i see it. despite nearing 70,000 population bellingham has retained its 'small town' feel and much of that attitude and has a lot of community projects and contests like this. many of the buses have local schoolkids drawings and also local poets poems inside in addition to the usual ads and admonitions
