Island near Anacortes, WA
I had such a wonderful day today. Friends with a boat took us crabbing out from Anacortes, Washington, which is a couple of hours north of Seattle on Puget Sound, and the weather even turned fine. Scenic and delicious—my kind of day.
Visit Skywatch Friday for more skies seen round the world, Blue Monday, Scenic Sunday and Weekend Reflections, too. SOOC has more straight-out-of-the-camera shots.
I’ve tagged this post Best Post of the Week because it really floats my boat (almost literally!). And don’t forget to feed the fish at the bottom of the page.

Lovely water (says the desert dweller)! When we lived in Washington, we always said that if all days were like this everyone in the world would crowd into the state to live.

The water looks lovely! The way the sky reflects in the water is so pretty. Very nice picture.

What a beautiful shot! The water is perfect for a day of boating and the sky is alive! Beautiful reflections too. The questions is, did you bring home any crabs?

YES, we brought home yummy dungeness crabs. I’ve been in seafood heaven. Thanks for asking, Linnea!

Hiya Sara,
Now that is a special picture,
taken at a special moment.
Limpid seems a good word to use here.
Or possibly pellucid.
