We were lucky enough to be able to slip away for just a couple of days to Port Townsend, Washington. It was a first visit, but won’t be the last. The weather was alternately sunny and rainy, making magnificent skies and vistas, and even some rainbows which I will post later. This view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca is from the dock at Fort Worden. Back here in the gray, drizzly weather in Seattle, just looking at it makes me smile.

A shady creek on a sunny day yields some lovely ripples and reflections.

I know it’s bad to take photos while driving, but sometimes when the light is good I just do it anyway. Naturally I delete the overwhelming majority of the photos that result, but sometimes I actually like one or two. This is from a couple of weeks ago.

A few weeks ago it almost felt like summer, or certainly spring, but the last few days it’s been more like winter: cold, rainy, and gray. So for a cheerful shot of water I went to the folder with the pictures from that lovely, sunny day at the Highline Botanical Garden in early March.

Visit Watery Wednesday for the water thing, and Outdoor Wednesday for more outdoor scenes. This is a good one for Weekend Reflections, too, plus it’s straight out of the camera, not even cropped, or SOOC.

And you know what that means. I was lucky to see this scene down at the waterfront near Pike Place Market. Who wouldn’t be inspired by the scenic Puget Sound surroundings, complete with ferry, and weather like this?

This was at the Highline Botanical Garden last week. That lovely warm and sunny weather is gone for now, but the beauty of photographs is that they allow us to remember the feeling of the day so clearly.

We went to Salty’s Restaurant at Alki at my favorite time of day. The weather was unusually clear and lovely, and the view couldn’t have been more perfect.

Recently Seattle was blessed with two warm, sunny days. I was so happy to be able to be outside and in a garden space. This was at the Highline Botanical Garden, and yes, that is the blue sky reflecting in the water.

Visit Weekend Reflections for more fascinating and creatively seen visual reflections.

I’ve also tagged this as Best Post of the Week. I love this one!

Hubby has a new hobby, geocaching. He tramps around parks and other public places with his trusty GPS unit, and finds hidden geocaches. It’s sort of interesting, but mainly I tag along for the scenic things I might find. Lake Garrett Park was new to me, and even though the day was cool and quite breezy, the ducks seemed quite happy.

Happy Watery and Outdoor Wednesday! And visit Scenic Sunday and Weekend Reflections while you’re at it.

This overlook of Puget Sound near my house has been a photo op blessing whenever the clouds part a bit. I like the look of the late day light. You can just see the ripples on the water surface.
