We leave Cleopatra Avenue with this picture of of red leaves against a blue sky. It's a nice street, this Cleopatra Ave., and if you're ever in the neighborhood, you should stop by and say hi.
Cleopatra Ave Tulip Festival
Well, it's a lot smaller than the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival going on up north of here but it's a lot quieter on Cleopatra Avenue.
Cleopatra Avenue NW

Hands down the best street name in Ballard. Cleopatra Avenue runs north/south between 65th and 73rd Streets. There's quite an eclectic collection of houses dating from the 20s to the 80s along Cleopatra but we saw no cats this day.
Ko-Ko

A classic Puget Sound fishing boat, the Ko-Ko was docked at Fisherman's Terminal right outside the window of Chinooks.
Sunday Dinner
After making Sunday brunch for friends, the kitchen staff at Ballard Avenue went out on a wildcat strike. They'll do that from time to time. Mind you, they're very good cooks and all; it's just that like all artists, they're tempermental.
Recognizing the situation was beyond negotiation, we went to Chinook's, a seafood restaurant at Fisherman's Terminal. This is all that remains of Oyster Pot Pie with asparagus and fried potatoes and a glass of Hogue Cellars pinot grigio. Yum!
Friday Cat Blogging: Half 'n' Half
It's been a nasty week, weather-wise. Lots of rain, lots of wind, and no cats silly enough to be outside in it. Hence no new cat pictures. We turn to Ballard Avenue's archives for this shot of Frida and Emma, or more precisely, the top half of Frida and the bottom half of Emma. We tried Photoshopping one cat from two but it just didn't work out.
