Seattle does a great fireworks show on New Year’s. This year: no fog! I admit I was warm and cozy, in front of my TV.

At Seattle’s Volunteer Park the other day. This photo is one of my very top faves and I am calling it my weekly Top Shot.

These boats (and a houseboat!) are tied up at Lake Union in Seattle, WA. I do love the reflections that show Seattle’s gray skies very well.

Still haven’t gone up on the huge new ferris wheel in Seattle, but here’s a photo of it at dusk I took last week. The LED lighting on it up plays in many patterns. You can see the viaduct, soon to be no more, at the bottom.

I saw the iconic Pike Place Market sign at dusk on the way back to my car from seeing the fabulous Peru exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum yesterday (closing tomorrow; do not miss it!). Don’t you just love this view?

At my friend’s house on the east side of Lake Union, the fireworks on the Fourth were grand (see a few posts down) and to the left of that view from the balcony, we could see all the boats lined up and ready for the fireworks show. See Seattle’s iconic Space Needle in the background.

Boats gather to watch Fourth of July fireworks on Lake Union, Seattle, with the Space Needle all lit up.
