On Wednesday the weather was heaven and we were camping at Lake Cushman, WA. Here is what it looked like in the evening, wading at the shore.

Ah, gray Seattle! I can tell I’ve lived here a while when I start to get excited about different kinds of gray skies. The overlook near my house provides some scenic views, that’s for sure. Visit Scenic Sunday for more scenigasms.

After our anniversary dinner the other day, we took a little stroll along the pier, but it was too windy to stay long. You can see the Puget Sound water surface is not that smooth, but the rays of the sunset was welcome with its brilliant color enlivening the gray skies and dark water. Happy Skywatch Friday, everyone!

Watery Wednesday is here, and all is dry today here in Seattle, but a few weeks ago this pond told a different story.

Again, anyone have any CafePress.com experience to share?

In one of the back areas of the incredible and huge Conservatory in the Bronx Botanical Garden in New York City, I found this fountain. The sound of splashing water was wonderful, and the air smelled so good. I like the way the water looks dark and mysterious.

This is from last July down at Normandy Park Cove beach. Spring is great but I want it to be warm already. Don’t we all?

Last week on that sunny day even the water looked good. Puget Sound may be too cold for swimming, but it looked so lovely reflecting the blue sky. For more water interpretations around the world, click HERE.

It’s great when my husband drives and I can lean out the window or, in this case, across him, and take photos. The view from the viaduct in Seattle is amazing and we hope it doesn’t go away with the proposed tunnel. For more photos of water around the world, click HERE.

Just for fun, below that is a monochrome version. Which do you like better?

Here’s a summer vision for you. The Truckee River wanders through Reno, Nevada, right downtown. They did a great job of making it accessible to all. People play and swim in it, and it is so delightful, especially with all that arid desert landscape close by. A veritable oasis; a perfect place for a stroll with a friend.

This Watery Wednesday post is another summer view. I just need to see the sun shine, and photos will have to do for now. A view of Puget Sound from the “beach” a few minutes from my house.
