Bye Bye 2020

Looking back over 2020 ... 

Some good ...

Lots of beautiful skies.
I am a skywatcher! 👆

January 1, 2020, evening sky.


Enjoyed spotting lots of big ships.
Seattle is a busy port and major shipping point.

Summer sunset.


Discovered the joy of watching hummingbirds.
Big time fun for an old guy! 😊

And the not good ...



My view has been missing the big cruise ships all year.
Looking out over Cruise Terminal, Elliott Bay Marina, and to Olympic Mountains
in the distance.


Tough year for the city I love.

Closing thought ...

The end of the worst, bring on the better!

  4. Gorgeous shots! And I'm sure the marine life appreciates the absence of big cruise ships.

  5. Seeing your January 1, 2020 photo caption makes me want to reach in and grab hold. It's like having a photo of someone mid-fall.

    Happy New Year, John!

  6. It's wonderful to have you in my virtual family, John. You are a very special observer of the world, and it enriches me to see your pictures and hear your "take" on events. I too hope for the year ahead to be a good one. It sure doesn't have to be much to beat this awful year!

  11. Happy New Year to you and yours, John. It has been an odd year for all of us and, always the optimist here, I know 2021 will be a better one as we return, hopefully to some sort of normalcy. Diana

  12. I always enjoy seeing your photographs.
    Your sky photographs are amazing.

    2020 has not been the best of years but both Eddie and I have fond memories of many parts of it! It wasn't all bad, just sometimes a little different and difficult.
    We look ahead to a (hopefully) better year in 2021.

    Sending good wishes to you for a happy and healthy 2021.

    All the best Jan
