So many people visit this Shinto shrine ⛩️
Spent a big part of my day trekking through thousands of torri gates climbing towards the top of Mount Inari. An unforgettable experience.

Walked for miles today in #Kyoto 🇯🇵
For most of the day, people were everywhere. At Ryozen Kannon Temple I embraced a moment of relative calm.

Booked my hotel online, in advance. I picked a good one. Feel fortunate.

A perfect start to my stay in Kyoto 🇯🇵
Upon arrival the hotel served a complimentary drink and pastry. Savoring this before heading to my room.

A special trip 💕 to #Japan 🇯🇵 Been here two weeks, one more to go.

These are so good. Filled with delicious custard. Crispy yet soft fresh pastry. A #Toyko sweet that made my afternoon.

First Division Title since 2001 for the Seattle Mariners ⚾️ What a season. Maybe this is the group that gets to a World Series. Longtime fan here, actually attended the first game in franchise history—in 1977. Cal Raleigh has 60 home runs, same as Babe Ruth. We’re living in crazy times. Go Mariners.

First day of school at the #UniversityOfWashington. Love the energy. A perfect day for the start of a new academic year.

A little movie I made featuring highlights from yesterday’s visit to #PikePlaceMarket and Seattle’s Waterfront. The weather was also perfect for a #ferry ride to Bremerton.

Yeah, I’m a sucker for them. I’ve photographed quite a few of them in California.

Now that I live so close to Seattle Center, it’s such a treat to stumble on enriching cultural events. A tiny sample of music from today’s Sea Mar Fiestas Patrias.

Catrinas Festival, celebrating the day of the dead is scheduled for November 1st and 2nd at Seattle’s Town Hall. Today’s event at Seattle Center offered a sample of what’s to come. Catrina dia de Los muertos.

Fall is around the corner. This might be the last perfect #summerday of 2025. Seattle is glistening this afternoon.

About as old as it gets in #Seattle, Holy Names Academy founded in 1880. Saturday urban #walkabout.

Demolition continues of Seattle Memorial Stadium. Enjoying a late afternoon walk and stopped to take an updated photo. Looking forward to completion of the new athletic facility to come.

Even on a perfect summer day, it’s nice to go indoors at Suzzallo Library and reflect for a few minutes. A venerable spot at the University of Washington.

The view from my deck. It looks better in person, but couldn’t resist trying to capture tonight’s #moon.
