March 26, 2016 - Sunny Seattle Spring Saturday





The sun was out on an early spring Saturday morning and with it came all manner of Seattle residents and tourists.  They were out in kayaks, on stand up paddle boards, traveling on ferries, walking dogs, playing volleyball in bikinis (never mind that it was barely 50 degrees out), on roller blades, in running shoes, on skate boards, taking photos, on bicycles or barefoot playing in the sand.

From Alki one can see the Olympic Mountains across a calm Puget Sound to the west, the Cascade Mountains across Elliott Bay to the east and to the north east the Space Needle and the houses on Queen Anne Hill.

March 25, 2016 - Ferry Wheel



























The ferries that ply the waters of Puget Sound have long been one of the iconic images of Seattle.  In June of 2012 the Seattle Great Wheel, a ferris wheel located on a waterfront pier was built.  This newer sight on the waterfront may not yet be considered an iconic image of Seattle, but at 175 feet high it certainly is a feature on the waterfront!
