Fishing pier
A neighborhood fishing pier in Des Moines, Washington, out over the waters of Puget Sound. Since it’s been raining and wintry for it feels like months and months unendingly, I thought I’d go to the archives for a sunny day to cheer us up here in the Pacific Northwest. I like it here but sometimes the weather really gets to me. I want to go outside and garden! This photo is my Best Post of the Week.
Visit Watery Wednesday and Outdoor Wednesday for photos with a theme, as well as Blue Monday, Wordless Wednesday, Weekend Reflections, Shadow Shot Sunday, Skywatch Friday and Scenic Sunday. I love photo memes; can you tell? If there is only one photo below, click on Saraโs Fave Photos for others.

Nice photo! Have you ever seen fish caught there? The water looks clear, but shallow.

I love to fish. When I do get to go, it has to be off the bank or a pier. No boats for me.

What a gorgeous shot!

What a long pier going out to the water. Such a tranquil scene–I’d like to be strolling along the pier right now. Mickie

The perspective of this shot is great. I would love to be walking out on the that pier right now. In Florida where i grew up, all of them were straight and a bit boring. Leave it up to the Pacific Northwest to come up with one that is beautiful. This is one of those pictures I could see on a wall.

I love the coast, and this photo makes me want to go to Seaside, Oregon. The photo reminds me a bit of the area North of Astoria, Oregon.

it looks so serene here, I wonder if people catch many fish form the pier.
ann on 19 Mar 2011 at 10:57 pm #
would love to go fishing there. Piers are lovely. My grandparents lived along Rejang river in Borneo, they had their private piers. I learn swimming from there.

A quick glance leads one to believe that the pier extends to the distant shore!
SHADOW SINGER
Of shadows an old man did sing;
He chanted in Guelph and Beijing;
The shade was his friend,
He loved it no endโ
It made him feel rich as a king!

That is a beautiful photograph. Some folks wonder why I travel so much. You know, I see a photo like this and I want to be there. I want to see it, experience it and enjoy it as it looks so pleasing and delightful. I think if I was there, I could forget my troubles and the troubles of the world for a few fleeting moments and just be like the water and the sky, just be.
Beautiful photo.
Peace.

Too much rain depresses me too. Thanks for sharing your blues.
Happy Blue Monday, Sara.
