Last week SAM had it's Journey to the Center of the Universe parade to celebrate the Nick Cave (artist, not musician) exhibit going on there now. It's wonderful show and the parade brought smile and sparkly outfits out in full force.

Dahlias in the Market

Wandering with out too much of a plan is a good way to spend the day. I needed an artist date so I took the Water Taxi from West Seattle to Pier 55 downtown. $3.00 each way, it's a great deal. The sun was shining and I wasn't sure where I was going, exactly, but I knew I would buy some dahlias at the Pike Place Market. I ended up going to the Seattle Art Museum, the bubblegum wall in Post Alley, and had a blast in flower heaven at the market. Most of all I wandered on a perfect August day.
