It’s gray and rainy in Seattle this week, with more darkness on the way. Let’s think about summer sunshine and tomatoes, just for a bit, shall we?

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!

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.
