Postcards from Paradise: Tacoma's Museum of Glass

there's nothing like the Pacific Northwest
on a sunny day.

I just love this museum and thanks for sharing your photos. I'll be up in WA a few times this summer--tomorrow being one of the trips, but visiting an elderly sister this time in Tumwater. Have you ever blown glass? Loved the Chihulys.

" `  She goes on, "Rarely do blog-posted haiku  even meet one of the criteria, let alone all three." So this week, I'm posting a haiku  from one of the masters.
