In a mall food court near our hotel in downtown Seattle we found this penguin-shaped construction, and of course it wanted only for a duck to make the picture complete.

Let’s be clear: At no point was I going to take that elevator ride up the Space Needle. However, seeing as how the base of the structure was available for a photo opportunity, on a very technical level this is a duck on the Space Needle.

It’s a reach. I know. Just roll with it, mmkay?

In August, we (the primary girlfriend and I) took an anniversary trip up to Seattle. The ostensible point of the trip was to see the Terracotta Warriors exhibit at the Pacific Science Center.

And so, Tiger the Travel Companion Duck joined us for photo opportunities. This sculpture is near the entrance to the PSC.

The subtitle for this one is “… next to a Giant Blue Bear.”

Someone explained the giant blue bear thing to me at one point and now, a year or so later, it’s long gone from my recollection. Denver!

I honestly couldn’t tell you why I held off posting some of the IT Nation 2016 shots until mid-2017, but here we are.

The Dodge Charger was part of a very poorly thought-out contest involving both the convention’s dedicated social media app and Twitter. It’s a good thing I didn’t win, though… what would I do with a muscle car?
