Day 147 - Beautiful. Gorgeous. Wish You Were Here

(name that movie quotes if you can.)

We spent another gorgeous day doing touristy things in Seattle.  And, while the others went up the Space Needle, I stayed on the ground.  I'm a lame-ass when it comes to heights.  Not all heights, mind you, but some.  And, I know getting to the top of the Space Needle would have probably ruined my day regardless of if I made it up there or not.  I try to think of it as knowing my limits, but I'm a lame ass - regardless, I digress.

So while the others enjoyed a spectacular view, I took pictures from below.  My most amazing picture that I stumbled across - and thanked every deity that my camera was ready to shoot - was this one:

I cropped it so you can see it better... Yes, I caught a hummingbird mid-flight - twice.  Had on the right lens and everything.  I have missed several opportunities in the past...several....but not today, obviously.

Here are some other random shots from around the Space Needle.
