I was curious about the Norwegian Sun accident. Unfortunately, the news story did not show and image of the damage. And I learned a little more about icebergs; I didn't know that the floating chunks of ice were called growlers or bergies.

You live in such an amazing place for daily walks since the weather and light make a huge difference (I love when you get a perfect view of the iconic Mt Rainier -- and I know you do too!) And also of course because there are always new and different ships doing what ships do and we all love learning about them. Thanks for sharing the "real" Washington's beauty. (And also I hope I haven't told you a hundred times already, but I love the idea of taking the same picture daily as a diary of the weather conditions.)

The House finch, and Humming birds are spectacular images, and the Heron, Crows, Seagull, and Canada Geese, on land and on sea are great finds and captures, and the picture of the bunny stand off was cute to see. I only know the Californian Poppy and Morning Glory because they grow in my garden, but all your flower images are really beautiful. The city skyline from Kerry Park, with the rosy glow on the buildings, and in the sky makes a fabulous photo. It is very interesting to see so many different sea vessels., and I discovered that a "growler" is a small piece of floating ice, not big enough to be called an iceberg but it was big enough to damage the starboard bow of the Norwegian Sun. If I had been on board I would have been really worried. My grandson has just arrived, so I will say goodbye, and thank you once again for such an entertaining post.<br />Warm good wishes to you John, and have a wonderful weekend.Breathtakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03883608347810648676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551752452162286188.post-36427089165093623712022-07-24T03:59:52.499-07:002022-07-24T03:59:52.499-07:00The red feathers...Wow!The red feathers...Wow!Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702620069148109246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551752452162286188.post-61632061413007356042022-07-24T03:35:11.173-07:002022-07-24T03:35:11.173-07:00Well, John, I am very pleased to note that you hav...Well, John, I am very pleased to note that you have a contingent of CANADA Geese down there just to add a touch of class to the place, and leave a few tokens of their presence!
