From my photo archives, a scenic summer sunset down at the waterfront in Seattle, with the Olympic Mountains across the water. The scene is so peaceful but yet so lively, to me.

I’ve lived in the Seattle area for twelve years now, and this is my first visit to Discovery Park in Magnolia, today. How beautiful it is.

At the charming town of Poulsbo, WA recently, we saw this view outside a coffee shop. I took a similar photo in 2011 but I like this one better, even if the paint shows wear.

Drove to a scenic stretch of beach a few minutes from my house because it was shaping up as a great sunset. What do you think of it?

These boats (and a houseboat!) are tied up at Lake Union in Seattle, WA. I do love the reflections that show Seattle’s gray skies very well.
