WSB posts the Grand-Daddy of Beach Drive Christmas Lights

Of course it’s the Menashe Home…I posted earlier when it was light-less.   Here is West Seattle Blog’s post …the photo is great and you know it’s worth the drive to check out their fantastic holiday display.

I’m holding off on my Christmas shots until December because:

  1. I’m not seeing many Beach Drive homes decked out yet.   I’m seeing other lights up and around West Seattle…we’re not Bah-Hum-Bug-Beach-Drive!  Where’s the lights???
  2. I’m hoping that Beach Drive residents will send me photos of their (or other neighbor’s) decked out homes.   If you cannot shoot and email a photo, email the address and we’ll make it happen.
  3. Macy’s had Christmas trees up before Halloween…we have to save something for December!
  4. All of the above.

Seriously, one photo a day of holiday photos is a big task…maybe I’m shooting for too high of a goal but I’m game with your help!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All!   Okay…I know I’m a few days away from December but seeing that photo from West Seattle Blog of the Menashe home was a huge shot of holiday spirit!

Lost Pug

Jacobsen and 49TH.   Posted live via my Treo.

Sorry that it’s a bit hard to read…I’ll try to doctor this up.   I know this is a little away from Beach Drive, however it’s a lost pug and I have an old pug of my own.   This sign is on top of Jacobsen, the phone number (I believe) is 206-358-8907 (or 353-8907)

FREE Bed Frame

Just noticed this at 4707 Beach Drive.  I’m not sure if it’s a queen or full size bed frame (the bottom part with the wheels)…but it’s sitting out front, next to the garage with a FREE sign.

Good Morning, Moon

I need your help sharing holiday cheer

I have a goal for Beach Drive Blog of posting one holiday photo per day during the month of December of homes in our neighborhood.    West Seattle Blog is all ready doing a wonderful job (as always) sharing photos of homes decked out in West Seattle…even they are asking for reader help.

If you have your home decorated for the holidays or have seen one along Beach Drive, please send me an email with the photo or an address.   I can give you kudos for your photo, or not, your choice.

Let’s share the spirit!

Getting Ready to be Decked Out

At least I hope so…this home is always over the top with Chistmas décor.    An "after photo" will follow.    Posted live from my Treo.

Kingfisher

It must be my lucky day…I’ve always wanted to capture a photo of a Kingfisher (I think they kind of look like Joe Pesci, if Joe was a bird).   I was getting ready for Thanksgiving and out my window I spied this guy flying in place, eyeying his prey.Dsc_0005

This little fella was singing in our garden this morning.

I think he’s happy about his fresh sugar water in his feeder for Thanksgiving!
