Would you rather
Let’s play “Would You Rather.” Would you rather, hypothetically, sleep? Or would you rather wake up to a clean and tidy house?

(Almost) full moon
We threw bedtime out the window last night to watch the moon come up. At Ella Bailey Park in Magnolia. Really pretty sunset too.

Yoga at the Olympic Sculpture Park
Free outdoor yoga in the beautiful Olympic Sculpture Park — is there any better way to spend a Saturday morning? You’ll find more pictures and info from my shoot at the Seattle Art Museum blog. The last outdoor class for the summer will be at 10 a.m. this Saturday, Aug. 28. Anne Phyfe Palmer (center), owner and director…

Flowers, close up

I saw these shoes at the Henry, and even I had to agree, they don’t look very comfortable. Woman’s stilted sandals…
