For the Weekly Photo Challenge: smile.
I think this is last weeks challenge. And this is not something local or that I see often… except I do take photographs often and they bring me joy!
This is more gorgeous glass from the Hotel Murano in Tacoma.

For the Daily Prompt: rapid.
There were 550 participants at the Rotary Conference in Tacoma this weekend. Wow! From 90 clubs in our District 5020. There are over 35,000 clubs world wide. Wild polio will hopefully be eradicated soon, and then it will be time to switch from the oral vaccine to the injected and that will take more time. What next?
The fast car above is from the Lemay car museum, but it is currently in the lobby of the Hotel Murano. The Rotarians had passes to the museum on Friday night… hundreds of cars from all eras, including from the time when carriage makers were making car bodies to order. Unique and hand painted and woodwork and gorgeous.
For the Daily Prompt: flaunt.
Welcome to the continuation of Trablogger’s Mundane Monday. The theme today is ramp up. I took this in Tacoma, Washington on Saturday morning. Tacoma gets more interesting each time I visit, with public art and many glass artists and installations.
I will list the different blogs on next Monday’s post. I am barely squeaking under the wire with today’s post, after travel this weekend and work today! I hope everyone had a great week last week!
For Mundane Monday #158 the prompt was all of the squares:
K.L.Allendorfer: a creative take on squares.
The Wishing Well: squares and glass.
For the Daily Prompt: bubble.
Ok, it’s not really a bubble. But it’s very bubble like, right? And I love the angled tree….
Port Townsend Sunrise Rotary is part of Rotary District 5020. This district includes the Olympic Peninsula and Vancouver Island, two countries. I am at the District 5020 Training and Conference, sitting next to the East Jefferson President and getting education and inspiration from our District Governor Craig Gillis. Excellent and inspiring!
Who is this diving? Can you tell?
Whew, at the end of Blogging from A to Z, happy things all month. I am tired. This weekend I went to see my daughter at college. We went for a walk and saw the above bird. More than one. Have you guessed?

This is a Common Loon, in breeding plumage, here.

I love the precise collar of black and white that stops at the back of the neck. They swim much lower in the water than our mallards, and the mallards don’t dive.
Ready to dive:

Gone!

Rest from the Blogging from A to Z Challenge! Right now we have 248 people who have completed it: here.
The letter Z: zzzz. Zzzzzs, blessed sleep.
My friend is not asleep here. But what a place to sleep!

And sleep in the sun!

Sleep on a couch!

Sleep in a boat!

And back to the daybed.

Blogging from A to Zzzzzz, and the challenge is done.

Blogging from A to Z, happy things. XOXOXO love and kisses to our beautiful earth!

These were taken in Hawaii, with my cell phone as my big camera ran out of battery power.

And all creatures great and small as well: XOXO.

Blogging from A to Z: the letter X.
