Drove to a scenic stretch of beach a few minutes from my house because it was shaping up as a great sunset. What do you think of it?

The pond at Seattle’s Arboretum, at the end of May. As far as I am concerned, you can’t get much more scenic than this.

My dear friend just got a new place on Camano Island, WA and it has a water view, with the Cascade Mountains and their icecaps in pink splendor.

Seattle has had rain, and lots of it. We’re normally pretty damp, but this is WET.

South of Seattle WA is a little city on Puget Sound called Des Moines. The locals pronounce the final S, not like the one in Iowa. They have a nice little creek that runs into the Sound and makes a wonderful rushing noise as it burbles over the smooth rocks in its bed.

I’m going to try to link this post to Water World Wednesday, Weekend Reflections. Have a great day!
