| The darkest, shortest day has passed. Winter is here. My walks usually start about 7AM. Here is the way it looked at walk start, Tuesday, December 21, 2021, 7AM in Seattle, about 59 minutes before Winter Solstice. |

| I'm interested in big ships, and smaller ones too. The "Global Provider" is supporting a fishing vessel at Pier 90. I like the name. Someday I hope to do a post on ship names. |

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, John! It is so nice to see your critter post and link. I love the Mallard ducks, the geese busy eating and the sweet Hummingbird at sunset are beautiful photos. I enjoyed going along on your walk. I love seeing the lights, views of the bay and the ships, the Ferris Wheel is a pretty sight. The Lionel Train Christmas postcard is a treasure. Thanks for the link! I appreciate all your comments, visits and links this past year. Merry Christmas! I wish you all the best in 2022, a Happy and Healthy New Year!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are a sight for sore eyes. I am up here north of you looking out and the beginning of snow and wondering if I will be able to get a walk in myself today! Merry, merry Christmas, dear friend! :-)
