Today's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

My Himalayan poppies finally bloomed! It took 2 years to get the conditions perfect enough for them to feel like it. 😊
Blue petaled poppy flowers with yellow stamen and green pistils in the center of the flower, where the petals glow neon pink, stand on fuzzy green stalks amongst fuzzy green leaves. Behind them are fence railing wires and the dark leaves of a rhododendron.

Given we’re about to host #FIFA soccer, the #Seattle waterfront was surprisingly quiet on a weekend. Pike Place Market was uncrowded too. #PNW #photography
The Seattle waterfront pier on a slightly overcast day. Blue skies poke out through thin cloud cover. There’s a ferry sailing through Elliott Bay in the distance.

Pale purple rhododendrons with dark purple centers are in blooming large among their deep, smooth green leaves. Behind are evergreen trees rising into a blue sky with waves of high, thin clouds.

A deep aqua blue lake fills the valley between evergreen trees blanketing granite mountains in northern Washington state. The sky is blue with sparse, thin white clouds. There are three small rock islands, two covered with trees, emerging from the lake.

Gray stone illuminated by the sun, existing at the edge of the Pacific Ocean in Southern California is worn into miniature mountains and valleys, creating tiny rivers and lakes of saltwater where the sea was captured as the waves withdrew.

This is a frequent mode of transportation in western #Washington for people who live on one of our many islands, the Olympic Peninsula, and along populated shorelines. I forget how special ferry rides are, until visiting friends get excited to experience it themselves. #PNW #photography #boating
A white, 4-level ferry boat loaded with vehicles on the bottom deck and 2 passenger seating area decks above sails through a saltwater passage on its way to San Juan Island. The water is calm and blue, as is the sky. Ahead of the ferry is an evergreen tree covered island.

White painted columns and worn gray floor boards make up a front porch facing a bay and marina, both unseen except in slivers of water and the masts of sailboats rising over a verdant, floral garden filling the narrow patch between the porch and a low, decorative fence. The sky is partly cloudy with a bright blue sky peeking out. The sun has lit up the garden from above.

Photo taken from a granite overlook of a mountain valley and the rising peaks of the Okanogan mountain range in Washington state. An expanse of smooth granite rock is under foot. To the left is a twisted, gray tree trunk lying across the stone slab. In the foreground are 5 evergreen trees at the edge of the rock ledge, one is bare and dead.The granite mountains in the distance are covered in patches of evergreen trees. The sky is a brilliant blue peeking from behind fluffy white clouds on a partly sunny day.

Six people stand in silhouette on a beach at sunset. One person appears to be taking a photo while others are looking out to sea as the sun sets behind distant hills. A person is seated on the steps of a lifeguard tower while another leans against the platform. The sky is a deep orange with a few thin clouds.

I love unusual old doors. 🚪 Port Townsend, #Washington #photography #texture #art #architecture #design #handmade
An old door made out of what appears to be uneven sheets of aging copper layered over each other in a patchwork design, covering a large entry door. There’s a small, narrow slot at the top with a smaller, privacy door covering it. There are three large metal straps stretching across the front of the door where the hinges are. And there’s a large iron latch and door pull on the left. The door is surrounded by old red brick and worn railroad ties creating the frame. What stands out is the shiny silver metal threshold that looks brand new.

Raindrops fall against an evening sun break after a storm. The gray skies begin to part, letting the sun break through and cast bright sunlight on a bay surrounded by forested hills. You are standing on a wet gravel path flanked on both sides by tall grasses. On the left, standing in silhouette, is a tall, wooden totem pole.

Resting on a black, wire drain rack over a sink filled with soapy water are a smaller collection of ripe red beefsteak and yellow cherry tomatoes. In the far left corner sits a small cup of unfiltered sake.

Behind them and say red, ripe Campari tomato and a larger beef steak tomato that doesn’t look like it knows what it’s doing because it’s a flaming ripe red, ripening orange, and unripe green in 3 segments of the same tomato.

A dark coral and pale yellow petaled dahlia flower fills the frame. It is set above its deep green leaves and tall stems. The white flower clusters of a hydrangea are aging at the summer’s end with a pale pink blush dusted over some of the delicate flowers. In the near background are the bright green leaves of the hydrangea bush, set against a black metal and wire railing. A once blue hydrangea flower cluster has aged into deep violet and fading green petals surrounded by dark green, serrated leaves and reddish brown stems.
