Yes, it's been a while since I posted. After the Hawaii trip and a short jaunt down to Southern California I had some other business to attend to, and since then I've been settling back into routine.

One of the bits of business was the 2nd Annual Worldwide Photo Walk. A co-worker and I decided that since the Big A sponsors this event, as employees we should represent by leading one of the walks. So we did. Tina did all of the real work, I just helped by suggesting routes and then using my 6'2" frame to head up the camera parade while she brought up the back end.

It was quite fun, though I didn't take many photos. We started the walk at Kerry Park, the source for all postcards of Seattle. We looped through the neighborhood and stopped at the foot of the Queen Anne retail district. Those of us so inclined had pizza and beer and conversation, then hoofed it back over to Kerry Park to catch the sunset. The end result was this panorama.

Not my best work, no. But not bad for an impromptu, slightly drunk, hand-held pano.
