When we were in Port Townsend a few weeks ago, the weather was fine and the boats were out. This group might even have been having a regatta of some sort. Of course I loved the sign. Yes! Beach this way!

Taken almost the same time as the photo below, this rainbow really “floated my boat.” I have seen a few rainbows in my life, but I think this one was in the most scenic setting ever. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I like this photo very much (although it was hard deciding between this one and the one of the reflections on the ship’s hull below) and I am tagging it Best Post of the Week.

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.

For more skies around the world, visit Skywatch Friday. And more blue, blue blue things are found on Blue Monday.

This shot from the archives, taken on a sunny April day, just feels so good after the pretty relentless gray and wet we are having here, with more of the same predicted. We didn’t even get the promised sunbreaks this afternoon.

Des Moines is pronounced Duh Moynz by the locals, yes with the final Z sound, and I understand that it actually means The Monks, although why I do not know.

Hope you enjoy the view of blue sky and puffy clouds as much as I do. Visit Skywatch Friday for more skies around the world. Check out Scenic Sunday for more lovely scenery, too. Fans of blue, visit Blue Monday.

Here’s another archive shot taken at the Des Moines (Washington) Marina in August a couple of years ago. I love the way the water shows the tender pink sky.

This post really holds up for me, so I’ve tagged it best post of the week. Hope you agree.

Here’s a view of Puget Sound you don’t have too often. It’s so high on the 75th floor of the Columbia Tower Club that sometimes planes and helicopters fly by at eye level, and once I saw a blimp! This visit, I’m happy just to have seen the ferries and the rippley water’s surface, reflected in the late afternoon sun.

For more water manifestations, visit Watery Wednesday.

I was lucky enough to have lunch today in the luxurious Columbia Tower Club, members and guests only, on the 75th floor of the tallest building in Seattle, on yet another blessed sunny day. This is the view. For more watery wonders, visit Watery Wednesday.

This is a fresh photo, hot off the memory card. Tonight we were driving into Seattle and the view of Puget Sound from the viaduct (perhaps to be replaced by a tunnel eventually), was just wonderful. I love it when hubby drives and I can take photos! And this is one of the blessings of digital; I know I could never have captured this image on film from a moving car.

Those are the Olympic mountains out there. That speck in the sky is a plane, I believe, not windshield dirt as I first thought.

We went to dinner at Anthony’s at the marina and afterwards strolled at the water. Why is twilight so beautiful?
