On my visit to Port Orchard, Washington last week, of course I had to look at the boats and reflections at the water there. A gull was so helpful in flying by right as I was taking a photo. Thanks, little gull!

Seagull and a cloudy sky in Port Orchard, WA

It’s been awhile since I posted a view from the overlook near my house. This was taken on the numerologically important day of 12-12-12. In all the clouds and rain Seattle has been having since mid-October (after a fabulous summer of sunshine) that day the sun managed to peek out briefly and I was there. Hope you enjoy this view of the ephemeral magic of the setting sun.

Taken last year at this time, a sunset view of Puget Sound from the soon-to-be-demolished Seattle viaduct. See the seagull in the lower left?

The season is advancing and the leaves are leaving, but a few still hang on. These yellow maple leaves against the puffy white clouds are autumn itself, to me.

It’s been awhile since I posted a view of the overlook around the block from where I live. This is an early fall view of the soft sky and waters of Puget Sound in the Pacific Northwest. I hope you like looking at it as much as I enjoyed being there.

The weather has been fabulous in the Seattle area, with cloudless blue skies almost every day. There were some sunset clouds the other day and I had to get outside and take a few photos. These clouds look like a giant flame to me.

Just a pretty, scenic shot of the dockside of Lake Union, off Westlake Avenue in Seattle the other day. Our August weather has been gorgeous! Not one drop of rain, sunny almost all day, every day. Yay!

This old fort on Whidbey Island in Washington used to watch for Japanese invasion in World War II. You can still see the bunkers and where the big guns were, just in case. Now it’s used for parasailing and the occasional tourist. Wonderful space that made me happy.

This photo gives me such a feeling of peace. I love the quiet at the water’s edge. Bowman Bay is part of Deception Pass State Park, in western Washington. That is Puget Sound you are looking at. May all your days end this peacefully.

On our short little getaway last week, a little visit to Coupeville on Whidbey Island, Washington, was just the thing. Victorian houses with pretty gardens, adorable shops, and scenic boats and sky, not to mention perfect temperatures, made for much happiness. Isn’t this sky just great?
