The tide was extra high this night, and the storm was brewing over the city of Edmonds. Despite it all, the ferries keep running to get everyone safely to their homes. The sun is just setting, as if you could see it through all of those layers of clouds. The Washington State Ferries M/V Puyallup [...]
Sometimes the simple is pleasing, even as it can be complex at the same time. It’s just the beach, as seen at the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge near Sequim on the Strait of Juan de Fuca. For those needing a bit more excitement, a short video: Photo & video: Taken at the Dungeness National Wildlife [...]
Sometimes it takes a bit of work to get to a secluded part of the beach. This stretch is about a mile down a steep trail in the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge near Sequim. There’s nothing like the waves crashing on the beach, watching the birds go by, and dreaming of the sea along the [...]
The most obvious thing that I can say about this scene from the bay in Kingston, Washington is that the tide is out. It’s very out. The private boat dock with the boat next to it is about 200 feet from the edge of the water, with only the muddy ground in between. The seagulls [...]
Kathy says that we will want to live here when we win the lottery. The set of condominiums are overlooking the Port of Edmonds Marina, and seem to be pretty nice. The view from out the windows (or from the parking lot, the only way that I can attest) is a wide, swooping view of [...]
Sometimes, you just know when an animal is claiming it’s home territory. And something about the look of this seagull (Larus occidentalis) tells me that I shouldn’t mess with his home. Actually, I kind of like his furniture, at least in the setting of his particular beach. Photo: Taken on Ediz Hook near Port Angeles [...]
I don’t know whether or not there were cat’s feet involved, but fog is a frequent condition in Seattle. Here, the Space Needle and nearby buildings are seen through the haze from a vantage point in West Seattle. That’s the ferry M/V Chelan in Elliott Bay, making it’s way on a scheduled trip from Downtown [...]
It’s all how you look at it. It might be nothing more than a parking lot for sailboats. Or. perhaps, it’s all about the arrangement of the boats. One way or another, that there is a whole lot of sailboat masts. I think that “symmetry” is the word you are looking for. Photo: Taken at [...]
It really wasn’t that long ago that we were enjoying sunny days that were a bit warmer than they are now. There’s always time to take a seat on the lawn and look out over Elliott Bay and just relax. The homes are near the Magnolia neighborhood in Seattle, near the Elliott Bay Marina. (Or, [...]
It was a dark and stormy night, as the sun was setting over an autumn day. On this day, people were coming out to see the first big storm of the season, with its ominous looking clouds, coupled with an unusually high tide that sent the waves over the walls and railings into the walkways. [...]
