How’s this for meta? First I took a picture of the duck on the actual ferry, then I took a picture of the duck on a model of the ferry while waiting at the Bainbridge Island terminal to board the ferry back over to Seattle.

As you can see, everything is accurately detailed and to-scale.

I expected the Pacific Science Center part of this Seattle trip.

I wasn’t informed about the Bainbridge Island part of the trip until shortly before it took place, though my traveling companion had planned it well in advance. She’s sneaky that way.

Somehow I didn’t collapse into a panicky mess. Not sure how. At any rate, before the ferry got going I snapped this picture which includes another ferry.

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!
