Seattle SkyWatch

Our recent photos featuring Emerald City Skies ...

Looking across Puget Sound from Seattle
Olympic Mountains in the distance.

Same scene as above with a strong sunbeam.

Stormy afternoon.

This eagle has been a regular buzzing our

Not good to snap pics while driving but had to capture this
most unusual contrail loop. How often have you seen one of
these? Generally speaking, this would be in the airspace
above Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Air Force practice?

Couldn't decide whether to put this one with blooms or skies.
Finally decided on skies.
The "normal" blue skies of Seattle with lots of blooms! : - )
Linking up with Good Fences for the photo above. Do you see the fence? Thanks to Tex for hosting Good Fences.
Sunset over the Olympic Mountains

Same scene as above ... a bit earlier.

Sunset over Elliott Bay Marina

Sunset with a ferry and tiny sailboat in the lower
right corner ... can you see it?

Unusual phenomena like a "sun dog".
