A visit to Pike Place Market

On Sunday we enjoyed a great day in Seattle at Pike Place Market walking, shopping, dining and taking pictures of life in and around the market.

Welcome

This is an overflow site for my photoblogs, Omaha Lens and Port Townsend Daily Photo. Sometimes there are too many images about a particular subject for a single post, so this is a place for the continuation of the photo story.

Lagniappe is a Cajun/Creole term for an unexpected bonus or gift....a little something extra. It's often used by merchants for customers, like a "baker's dozen" courtesy.

I had my early raising in a small town on the Bayou Teche in south Louisiana. It was there I began to understand the pleasures of lagniappe (pronounced lan-yap) when my little friends and I, in the midst of playing in the neighborhood, might be called to the back porch of someone's grandma for an unexpected gift of sweet rolls hot out of the oven. Man, now that's lagniappe!!

Hopefully, you will enjoy the extra pix added here.
