Smitten & Frostbitten...

Winter Dance, Feb. 11 at the SURC, CWU campus.

Looking toward the corner of Pearl and Fourth.

On a rainy day in Ellensburg.

Downtown Ellensburg, Third Street.

D & M Coffee Co., downtown on N Pine St.

Great coffee, tables for your laptops and works of art by local artists.

The Fair Point Communications tower, downtown.

Fair Point is the local phone company for Ellensburg.

The Family Eye Clinic, downtown.

One dapper Library Coyote!

Our Library Coyote is looking rather smug lately...but, if the cold weather leaves you needing his extra gray scarf, he may show a little sympathy for a fellow reader?

Jesus Goes Fishing...

First United Methodist Church, downtown Ellensburg.

University Avenue, campus buildings on the right.

Main Street, Ellensburg, looking toward the Palace Cafe.

Reflectors at Dick and Jane's Spot, downtown.

Richard C. Elliott is quite famous for his reflector art work, including his great mural at the Seattle Airport. 

Campus bicycles, Central Washington University

Inside the Student Union Building, CWU Campus.

A great place for lunch with very generous chicken salad and peanut butter/jelly sandwiches, chili, even Chinese if you prefer--all at reasonable prices.

Meanwhile, back to reality...

The City of Ellensburg pushes the latest four inches of new snow down the streets.

Gallery One, downtown Ellensburg.

Two of the three new art exhibits opening on January 15.

Windmill at Cramer's Furniture Store, downtown.

The Faculty Art Show opens Thursday at CWU.

The SURC Building on the CWU Campus.

Raked gravel at the Japanese Garden on the CWU campus.

As I understand it, the rock symbolizes an island with surrounding waves.

Free campus art.

With the annual Faculty Art Exhibit only four days away this is 'Lady Graffiti' found on campus. No pictures allowed in the CWU Art Gallery and with very little to no graffiti around campus she will have to serve as my reminder to all of us to go visit the Faculty Show. 

The Woods Ace Hardware sign.

The hardware store is on Pearl Street, in the center of downtown.

New pizza delivery box from Pizza Rita.

Ellensburg is a small town. With morning temps around 12 degrees F on many days some of us just stay in and order pizza. This is a new and much improved looking pizza box, good enough to make this small town blog! 

The first store in Kittatas Valley plaque, downtown Ellensburg.

Restored Pepsi Truck.

I found this photo while looking for the one from yesterday's blog. I should have blogged this one just after the Rodeo Parade.

My best photo of 2010 is this one...

Yesterday many of the City Daily Photo members posted what they thought to be their best photo of the past year. Being only ONE day behind at present I have chosen this one from the Rodeo Parade. It has a child, an animal, and a person in costume. And the wind fortunately fluffed the horse's mane the very second I snapped the shot.
