We are moving through winter rapidly and see that there is a big storm forecast for our friends back in the eastern part of the US. We wish you the best ... take care and stay warm! Here in Seattle, we had an unusually dry January and we have not yet experienced big snow. We have plenty of time left for that, however.
In early February, John has continued his daily walks around Green Lake, about 3 miles, and that provides many photo opportunities. Within the last few days, while on one of those walks, he stopped for a short break at a lakeside bench. The view is shown below. We like the way the light and clouds play on the water.

This morning, Friday, February 8th, we had a fairly typical sunrise in Seattle. Some photos below will show you the sky as seen from John's Island Headquarters.

Love your shots! I'm guessing John's Island must be Bainbridge, no? I spend most of my time in Gig Harbor and Tacoma when I'm in the states. Love your area of the world.
ReplyDeleteI'm sitting here at SeaTac waiting for the shuttle to take me home to Bellingham. Yes it was sunny and warm, but it just wasn't home. I love Washington, too, John! Thanks for the great pictures. :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful city scape photos!
ReplyDeleteThe relfection of the sun on this building is amazing !
ReplyDeleteNot familiar with Seattle area, but John's island is obviously somewhere near the city, and the lake is delightful to offer such a wild walk.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. I especially like the photo of the lake and the first two photos of the night lights in the skyscrapers against the colourful, dramatic sky.
