Yet again, I'm poaching from my Seattle trip for the ABC-along. Wouldn't you? I mean, it's not like I get to take vacations very often, so when I get the opportunity, I've gotta milk it for all it's worth. So, a few pics.
S is for the Space Needle
Too bad, as you can see in the sky, it was an overcast day. But the view is still pretty impressive. And the experience is totally worth it when you see a guy dressed up like this at the top:
We aren't sure if he was wearing that on a dare or what his deal was, but yeah, red and green and frilly and SHORT! Heh. If you'd like to see more of the view from the top, see my
Flickr Set.
S is for Sitka Spruce
On the drive back from the Oregon Coast, we saw a sign for "The largest Sitka Spruce Tree in the US" so of COURSE we had to stop and see it. Wouldn't you?
Hee.
At a height of 206 feet and circumference of 56 feet, this was one ginormous tree. It is also over 750 years old. Incredible. With a giant tree, comes other giant things as well.
S is for Slug
Check out this sucker.
Dime thoughtfully included by my nephew for scale. Seriously, it was one ginormous slug. Ewwwww. And thus ends my "S."

A big-ass slug and a freaky dude in a skirt at the top of the Space Needle. FANTASTIC post!!!

Oh and I love that guy's outfit. I don't think I could have pulled that off!
Um...
What? He made that, he probably made it at the Homeless Vets home. So I guess they're not really homeless, then, but yes, he made that outfit. I would have tinkled in my drawers to look upon such a thing.
Ew, slugs.
Thank you SO much for the tree pics. I've always wanted to visit the west coast and see Big Trees. Just can't hack the airfare. :-p
Impressive slug. Looks chewy.
Cool pictures! I like the one looking up at the Space needle, and well, as a former west coaster I have to at least... "appreciate" the big ole banana slugs... (ew gross).
PLEEZE tell me the dude didn't bend over...or at least, if he did, he wasn't wearing a thong under that.
Wish I hadn't seen the slug; I'm gonna have some weirdo dreams tonight! ;->
Cool pics!! That dude hahaha! wild!
That slug..ick! But cool picture! :)
hell of an outfit - it always pisses me off when a guy looks sexier than i do. seems unfair, somehow.
nasty slug, by the way. sweet. :)
OMG I laughed so hard I woke up hubby(It's 3:12am.. don't ask)That hilarious. Definitely a spit-your-drink photo. You're evil--trying to destroy people's keyboards with liquids...I'm one step ahead of you. :))
Oh but the view is just WOW!!
Woo!! Sitka Spruce!! That's my old state tree!!!
Don't you love the west coast? It doesn't surprise me you saw that guy dressed like that at all!
Great Space Needle pic! Love the angle!
Heh heh, that guy is priceless!
Nice tree! I adore big trees.
Y'all should have seen that guy from the front! He had Make-up on! Done really, really poorly. We're talkin' blue eyeshadow.
Big EWWWWW on the slug. Fab photos.
Mwahaha! What a view at the top.
I gotta tellya, Turtle...that man's mighty brave to wear such a short skirt in such a windy place. That takes real huevos, that does...
That guy shaves his legs much more often than I do.
