At long last a different porch and a different cat.
NoMa
Ballard is the hottest real estate market in the area and this is part of it. "NoMa"is a condo under construction north of Market Street (Get it? Aren't they clever...)
There are nearly a thousand condo units under construction or permitted in central Ballard. Ballard merchants love it. Ballard old-timers hate it. We're resigned to it and simply hope for the best. After all, there might be some kids our age moving in and that could be fun.
Tulip and snail
Continuing the tulip theme, we offer this snap of a particularly psychedelic tulip with snail attached. Only a snail could sleep amongst this riotous color.
Sunset Hill Tulip Festival
And as with the Cleopatra Avenue Tulip Festival, we just don't have the crowds here that they do up north. That's a good thing.
The sun sets every evening
And so you get another sunset shot. Soon the sailboats will return to their berths in the marina. Lines will be coiled, gear will be stowed, and it will be time for a drink and a story or two. "Aye, and the seas were vertical, I'm tellin' ya, but lashed to the wheel I was and we sailed to safety and the waiting arms of those we left on shore." See, it's not so hard to write that seafarin' stuff. Certainly easier than reading it, that's for sure.

You know, they don't call our part of Ballard "Sunset Hill" for nothing.
