Seattle Daily Photo

The Tulip Festival in the Skagit Valley.

We enjoyed a weekend trip to Ls Conner. We stayed in the Channel Lodge. This photo shows my wife and me enjoying the boated, water. and the weather.

Following is a link to the La Conner Channel Lodge. Following is a link to the restaurant we enjoyed: Oyster & Thistle. Following is link to RoozenGaarde where we enjoyed the Tulip Festival.

This photo was taken in Llandover Woods just a half of a mile from where we live in Shoreline. The city lives up to its name as you can see. The Puget Sound is in the background of the photo as well as the Olympic mountains. However there are a lot of trees blocking the view.

This photo shows another common scene, in the Seattle area during spring and summer months. A blue sky as seen though a canopy of green leaves. This photo was taken at the Llandover Woods Greenspace which is about a half of a mile from where we live.

This is a more common scene of the sky in Seattle. A thin layer of clouds obscuring Mount Rainer in the background. There are actually many days with brilliant blue skies in Seattle. However, this is the most common scene during the spring and summer. During fall and winter the sky is almost always raining 🙂

The photo shared today was taken at the University of Washington. I was one of several people who took photos of this same scene.

Today is theme day, in the City Daily Photo community, and the theme is sky. Our contribution is this photo of the Standpoint Country Club. The photo was taken looking east at twilight and presents a soft red glow on the horizon. An internet search finds that the description for this effect is the Belt of Venus. It is caused by scattering of long-wavelength (red) light by the atmosphere.

This photo was taken during a crew camp our daughter participated in. We were pleased she said she enjoyed it and is signed up for another crew camp this coming summer.

Rowing is very big is Seattle. So much so that there is a book, on the subject, called Boys in the Boat. I highly recommend the read. It is also a movie.

Interestingly we saw this houseboat after dropping our granddaughter off at a boathouse. As in a house to store boats. In this case sculls for rowing. She was taking a class in crew.

Zillow estimates the value of the houseboat, shown in today’s photo, at $3.4 million.

I’m proud to share this photo showing my contribution in holding a sign during a No Kings march in Seattle.

It feels great to be in the mist of so many truly wonderful people.

While strolling through the Fremont neighborhood we found this display of a piece from the Berlin Wall.

The plaque says: “This piece of the Berlin Wall arrived in Fremont in 2001 to commemorate the role of Seattle and Boeing’s C-47 in the Berlin airlift of 1948.” . . . “Thank you to the Burke family and History House for retaining this piece of history.”
