  1. Hello John,
    Your sky captures are all gorgeous. Love the view of the ship with the mountains in the background. The old National Park posters are treasures. Take care, have a great weekend.

  15. Those Seattle sunsets are something else, aren't they?

  16. Water vistas always bring a calm over me, I guess they take me back to when I was a child with not a care in the world! Beautiful sunrises and sunsets included in those views, like in your photos, are an added bonus!

    I googled Doug Leen! I look forward to what you will be sharing about him in your next post!

  17. Breathtakingly beautiful dear Jhon!!!!!!!
    Enchanting sunsets that will stay in my thoughts for while.
    Sounds a bliss to be able to witness beauty of sunsets as amazingly!

    Agreed that it is a blessing that God has given us opportunity to experience various colours of life and this feels so magical how our thoughts change slowly and get deeper and more meaningful aspects with time. I lack words to praise the plan of nature .
    The bird feeder shot is splendid.
    More blessings upon you and family!

  18. These are beautiful images, John, but the first one is definitely my favorite. Winter has the best sunrises and sunsets, so much more brilliant than in the summer. I hope you can enjoy many more. Hugs - Carola

  19. The first picture is great. We only passed through Seattle once (to go to Orcas Island)

  20. Gorgeous skies. I'm of the opinion that skies always look better over water. Looking forward to your next post!

  21. Your stunning pictures remind me of a line from some old musical that I've forgotten "the prettiest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle..." (I think it said "bluest" skies and we used to laugh about that, but prettiest would have worked then and certainly does now (of course especially on the days when it doesn't rain.) Glad you were getting out there for your walks during the cold spell.
