Oh, the last sunny days of summer. Maybe this year will be different, but many years in Seattle it turns cloudy and rainy at the beginning of September and just doesn’t seem to quit until July of the following year.

Here’s a shot of downtown Seattle taken a couple of days ago, in the late afternoon. Visit Shadow Shot Sunday for more kinds of shadows everywhere.

And here’s a link for those who love memes. This site has a list of more memes than you can believe! I’m gonna have to try me some new ones. In my spare time.

This photo was taken at the new sculpture park downtown maybe last summer, with the city’s signature Space Needle (left over from an old World’s Fair) framed against the sky. It always makes me feel like the martians have landed. The big red thing is part of a huge sculpture that looks like it’s flying, by Alexander Calder. If you go to Seattle, you should visit the Olympic Sculpture Park, absolutely. It’s a kick.

Yesterday I was driving towards downtown, Puget Sound just out of view on my left, and saw this sky. Hope you like it for Skywatch Friday.

This taken from the Viaduct last month. It may be unsafe for earthquakes, but what views it provides! For more Watery Wednesday posts, click HERE. And it’s Wordless Wednesday as well.

Since I came to Seattle, I appreciate sunshine far more than ever before. Even though it’s mostly rainy out right now, here’s a photo from this time last year, taken of the Viaduct in the late day sun. Hope you like it.

First we went to the Cherry Blossom Festival in the Seattle Center. This detail is of the Experience Music Project.

These tree roots are at the Seattle Center. Amazing! I wonder why they do that.

Then a chilly walk on Alki Beach, for the first time for me. Even though the weather was windy and cold, especially the rain cloud that was not raining on us, yet, the scene was so beautiful. Can you see the group of ducks on the water?
