Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
This shot was taken with my cell phone, hanging out my car door as the Bainbridge island ferry was approaching the Seattle dock. You can see the Smith Tower, which used to be the tallest building in Seattle, in the glorious sunrise.
Who says it rains all the time in Seattle? That’s just what they say to deter all those Californians from moving here!
You always get the best view of Seattle from the ferries. If you come to Seattle walk on to the Bainbridge island ferry from Seattle (only 35 minute crossing around $7 RT) Browse the lil downtown and then come back to this view of the Skyline (sunshine NOT guaranteed)
My friend and I were lucky to just sit on the doorstep of my van, cocktail in hand, and witness this gorgeous sunset at Otter Rock on the Oregon Coast.
These burrowing owls in Cape Coral live there year round. They are literally everywhere…in peoples yards…in EVERY soccer and baseball complex. Since they are only 9 inches tall at adulthood the city marks the burrows with PVC pipes so no one mows over them.
This was shot near Otter Rock. Next to this I shot hundreds of photos of Pelicans. But the hole in the wall finally pulled me away. I couldn’t get cany closer because the rocks were SOOOO SLIPPERY with that green algae you can see in the photo. After several falls I reminded myself I’m in my 60s and don’t recover as fast!
This is close to the end of the trail, just before you can view the island with the lighthouse (if it’s not fogged in). They have really nice platforms built for safe viewing. Weather is always very unpredictable here. This was my third trip here and my first time actually being able to see the lighthouse and the other side of most the inlets!
