Here’s a nice sunset photo from last summer, with a teensy boat in the distance, and Vashon Island (I think) behind it. For more photos of water in all its manifestations, click HERE.

Here is a post for Scenic Sunday. I think to be scenic there has to be expansive view, have sunny skies and hopefully be pretty as well. That’s what I feel is scenic, and others may have other ideas. This one of the distinctive bridge in Astoria, Oregon, qualifies. If you go there, the town has enough old buildings to be charming as well. For more scenic photography around the world, click HERE.

This was taken at Saltwater State Park, a little creek in fall weather, trilling to Puget Sound. I love the sound rocky creeks make. For more watery photos from everywhere, click HERE.

Browsing through some old photos I found this I took somewhere in Florida in 1983! I really don’t remember where, maybe down in the Keys. But a pretty sky, a relaxing tropical feel, and a good start for the new year, I think. Here’s to scenic beauty and peace and relaxation in 2009.

Last time we went to SF we took the Larkspur ferry to the new Ferry Terminal. Just wonderful, with super shopping and of course the scenery was perfect. This was taken on a warm day in February, and made me miss California so much. That’s the Bay Bridge in the distance.

It’s so gray and rainy now, I crave the bright days of summer. This was taken in June at a neat little garden South of Seattle. Go visit it if you are in the neighborhood.

This is one of my all-time fave photos, taken last year on the way back from Astoria, Oregon, from the amazing bridge there. Mostly it was cloudy, but one sunny moment was all I needed for this.

Do you see a face in profile in the big cloud on the left?

I had some time to take a walk in downtown Seattle yesterday and caught this iconic sign over our famous Pike’s Place Market on Puget Sound just as the sun went down. Not a very showy sky, but still, it’s the sky that makes the shot. If you ever visit Seattle, this place is a must. And for more thrilling skies around the entire world, click HERE.

I took this in Portland a while ago, at the Japanese Garden. What could be more watery than rain AND a lake? For more Watery Wednesday photos from everywhere, click HERE.
