I was just returning from a trip to Eugene one day when it was time for a stop. On a nice spring day at the Oak Grove Rest Area along I-5 North of Eugene, I took a short walk to look around. Sometimes if you step away from the busy part of the highway you [...]
So, yesterday I went on a rant about the color of the Space Needle. So, now that I’m better, I thought I would share a much nicer picture of the Seattle Skyline. as seen from Queen Anne Hill. Note, of course, the green-colored Space Needle. Or ignore it. Enjoy the rest of the Seattle skyline [...]
A lot of stereotypical Seattle can be seen right here. With nothing to do on a Tuesday afternoon, Seattleites tend to take the kayak out onto Portage Bay and row among the houseboats to their heart’s content. Portage Bay is between Lake Union and the Montlake Cut which leads into Lake Washington. Seen in the [...]
Sometimes a journey of posting pictures again starts wit ha single step. It’s not a lack of pictures taken, it’s just a lack of getting them on the blog. So we will start with a trail with a somewhat steep starting place. This uphill climb is the start of a trail on the South side [...]
It’s feeling a bit cold today, so I think we need some “warmer” pictures. Just over the edge of the hill from the Rose Garden in Portland (the garden, not the arena!) is a great view of Portland. The City Center is in the foreground, with the top of the Wells Fargo building seen. The [...]
A short walk along the edge of Lake Washington near Renton yields a nice view from the footbridge up ahead. The boats of the Renton Sailing Club are just waiting to be enjoyed — on another day. For now, they are just pretty to look at. Photo: Taken on the shores of Lake Washington at [...]
It was one of those rare sunny days in late November that was also a day off when I had a chance to just take a walk along the shore of Lake Washington. The sun was out, the sailboats were floating around, just like in those pictures of tropical paradises. Only, it was pretty chilly [...]
Just looking over to the Olympic Mountains from across the Salish Sea. It has been a clear morning, but the high clouds have crept in to snag themselves on the peaks of the mountains. Our eyes take the path: Puget Sound, houses on Bainbridge Island, the Kitsap Peninsula, then the mountains of Olympic National park, [...]
One of the nice things about the scenic waterways of Cascadia is the wide variety of vessels that you will see cruising around. Along the incredibly scenic Seattle Waterfront, you can find everything from container ships headed for the Port of Seattle to sailboard floating by in the breeze. And, of course, an ampersand. Photo: [...]
The Seattle Waterfront is a busy place, thus the busy-looking photo. In the foreground is the Great Wheel Ferris wheel, new to the waterfront. In the background is Century Link Field (home of the Seattle Seahawks and the Seattle Sounders) and Safeco Field (home of the Seattle Mariners). In a way, they kind-of seem to [...]
