    John, the eye moves through the composition of your photo wonderfully … as if a good story is being told … “do the two boats know each other?” … and it all calms the heart. Well done, and thank you.

      Saw the sign! Wish somebody had sent us a notice so we could have promoted it in advance here and on our White Center site! editor@westseattleblog.com – HF has in the past. Anyway, as soon as you have something planned, we don’t need fancy press releases or flyers, just a few lines, I can’t even find anything on the HF webpage to link … let me know if there is something there that I can link for tomorrow! – TR
