You can’t beat sunsets for enjoying looking at skies. I don’t know why we love them so, but we do. Add in a few boats and a still evening, and we are so happy to be there. The magic of photography is that we can keep those moments, and remember. Happy Skywatch Friday to you all!

This was taken from the Larkspur ferry in Northern California just north of San Francisco, in the San Francisco Bay. I love the living shape of the water. For more watery fun, click HERE.

On a walk near my house yesterday I snapped this photo looking south. Yes, that is a tiny boat down there.

Skies are dim and gray but things are brightening every day. For more water photos of all sorts, click HERE.

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 a morning view of Pyramid Lake in Nevada. Can you see the pyramid?

I’ve linked to a bigger one after requests but haven’t figured out how to get the medium size one to show here instead of the tiny one. Sorry! So click on the little one for a better view.

Here’s a peaceful late day photo of Puget Sound. It seems like Seattle is near the ocean, but if you look at a map, you might be surprised how inland it actually is. But lots and lots of water, nevertheless. For more Watery Wednesday photos, click HERE.

Who can resist the lure of the coast? I read that 75% of the world’s population lives within 50 miles of an ocean coast. An amazing statistic, if true. I love to live near water, and here in Seattle that’s so easy. The two scenes of Puget Sound below were taken recently from the Normandy Park cove beach.
