A Star Is Born!

 Tom and I visited a local T.V. show

 that is produced in downtown Seattle.

 

 King 5 Television has a morning show called,

New Day Northwest.

We waited in the audience lobby until

 it was time to head into the studio.

Once in the studio, we were allowed to take pictures.

But only before, during commercials and after the show.

Getting our instructions on how to clap.

Did you know that T.V. claps are different?

They are faster and longer.

Margaret Larson the host, prepping.

 

Lights...

Camera...

 Action!!

These are pictures in between the segments.

Back Home...

 We taped the show and watched it later.

Hey look...that's us!



Simple Pleasure-Butterfly

Butterfly in flight

It was one of those rare moments.

I was working in our garden, when I saw this beautiful butterfly, fluttering around.

I ran for my camera, in true blogger fashion.

is hosting Simple Pleasures.

Please join us every Thursday.
