I've lived in Olympia since 1989, and the Procession is the absolute pinnacle of Oly Life, in my humble opinion. Who can't feel at least a tiny bit of hope when ya see the samba dancers, in all their wisdom and glory. I want to marry them all and have flocks of dancing flamingos with them. I mean it.

Snapped some shots yesterday. Not unlike these: More on my Flickr site. Also, some of my more polished pics are on display at the Christian Science Reading Room near the corner of 4th and Washington. Come have a look and say hello, if you're downtown before the procession.

I went for a midnight bike ride / photography session to Madison Scenic Park earlier tonight. It felt wonderful; the night was beautiful, calm, quiet and warm (relatively). The smell of spring was in the air.

As I was riding away from the park I glanced back at the Capitol Building. It appeared that the lights in/on the Dome had been extinguished. I wonder if that is standard procedure. Are the Dome lights turned off after a certain hour? It would make sense in an effort to conserve energy. I could hear frogs croaking in my neighborhood (Upper Eastside!). I love that sound. |
