The Rain in Spain....
Actually, Uncle Jim says it's snowing in Spain (Lekeitio), but the rain has returned to Seattle. Lisa said she missed it, and I think I did too, but can't admit it so readily. Rain in Seattle with temps in the low 40's means SNOW in the Cascades which means SKIING!
Sunday we went to a brunch and saw Santa and a puppet show from Puppets Please, a company that doesn't seem to exist on the web. They really have a great show for kids about Louise's age (7) and under, and the last skit had a bear chasing his red union-suit long-johns around. Comedy Gold. I wish I was able to get some better pictures of it all, but oh well...
What does that expression on Louise's face mean. So much, but I'm not sure what....
Links. I feel like I need to post random links (isn't that what blogs are for?), even if I'm not updating the blog daily like I thought I would. New posts every other day is still a LOT more frequent than anytime before. How about....
Ansel Adams Pictures of LA. He took these for Fortune Magazine in 1941. I wish I knew the area better and could identify some of the places....
And ... I've mentioned Phineas and Ferb before, right? We just saw their Christmas special last weekend. Oooh, it was good. But this (below) might one of my favorite clips, even if it does feature Carl, and not Dr. Doofenshmirtz.

- So I would conclude that with the LAPL material we are getting a rare chance to look at photographs a great photographer chose not to show the world. Obviously none of these images even touches upon the vast and central work that establish Adams as one of the greatest American photographers, but they do provide an interesting footnote to what Ansel Adams saw and thought worthy of photographing while ambling about Los Angeles during the opening months of World War II.
