Coupeville is one of the oldest towns in Washington, I am told. We were here last year at this time. Don’t you just love the starry diamonds on the water?

This ferry-in-the-sunset photo is very similar to one I posted about three years ago, but I think it deserves a re-run. I had just gotten my new camera and hadn’t mastered all the settings (not that I’ve done so by now) and it needed a tad of adjustment, but hardly any. Those are the Olympic Mountains in the distance.

Friends with a lovely place by the water had us over for dinner on their terrace overlooking Puget Sound.

Drove to a local spot for some scenic wonderfulness at sunset, and we were surprised to find more than a dozen fisherpeople at the water’s edge. See the pink salmon on the right that the fellow just caught? I understand the fish are close to shore because they are looking for their spawning creek to swim up into. Love the Pacific Northwest.

At the fabulous Alki Art Fair on Saturday, June 20, the people watch was the best, and it included some folks on paddleboards, or longboards. Not sure which is the right word. If you know, please tell me which is which. Isn’t that cool that you can see Seattle’s Space Needle in the distance?

Got to visit Seattle’s waterfront briefly today, and thank goodness the clouds pulled back enough for a spot of scenic. Those are the Olympic Mountains way in the distance.

This scene at the edge of Puget Sound in Seattle is from a couple of years ago at this time of year. I felt like posting something with water. I think this qualifies, and the sailboat is a bonus.

This duck was swimming right for the visitors with food in their hands, in the Japanese Garden at Seattle’s Arboretum. I like the V-shaped wake it left behind.
