Here’s a misty sunset from that bluff trail in the Dungeness Recreation Area near Sequim, WA. I haven’t seen the sun set over the water in a long, long time—not since I was in Venice, California many years ago. I love the opalescent look the water gets reflecting the late day sky. I’ve posted this entry my Best Post of the Week.

At the Dungeness Recreation Area near Sequim, WA, right after we saw the bald eagle below, as the sun was setting it peeked in and out of the fog. Moody, evocative scene. The foghorn sounded every once in awhile, just to add to the effect.

Driving on the Seattle Viaduct the other evening, there was an incredible sunset. Actually, hubby was driving and I was leaning across him and shooting out his open window. We don’t get too sunsets like this, believe me. When I saw the photos later, I was amazed to see a parasailor up there. What a view he or she must have had! Puget Sound is one gorgeous place, when the light is right especially.

Here is Mt. Rainier and the moon at dusk, a longer shot than the one I posted of this scene a few weeks ago. That’s quite an overlook of Puget Sound, but it’s just a neat view from a road near my house.

I love having my little Canon S90 camera with me always. I was in the parking lot at the local Trader Joe’s and we were finally having a sunset worth of the name. So here it is, for you to enjoy.

Maybe it’s just me but I like this sunset very much. It seems like a fitting end to a fairy tale or old movie or something. I’m going to call it my Best Post of the Week.

Here is a view of Puget Sound from Shoreline, a bit north of Seattle, on a recent heavenly and warm day. A perfect end to a perfect day.

It was actually drizzling, but no one seemed to care on Sunday’s Fourth of July, America’s independence celebration. This cloudy, rainy sky got lots and lots of viewers, with the help of enough fireworks to win a small war, it seemed, even though it was not yet really dark. The reflections over little Lake Burien (south of Seattle) were an added bonus. Happy Skywatch Friday! I’m honored to have my photo featured in this week’s edition.

I didn’t use a tripod but learned that a double elbow brace on the arms of a chair can have a very steadying effect. Take a deep breath, let if out, press the shutter slowly. It really helps in those low light situations.

Dusk is my favorite time of day. I’m not usually up at dawn, so late in the day is my chance to see the fading light and softly glowing sky I love so much. This Normandy Park overlook of Puget Sound (which is a short walk from my house) even has some late-blooming dogwood gracing the view.

Yesterday the moon was almost full, but The Mountain (Mt. Rainier, our local active volcano due to blow any time) was out along with it, much more special. Let’s hope the perfect weather of mid 70s holds for a bit. The garden really needs it.

Can you see the tiny sailboat? And the reflection of the cloud on the water? This big cloud over the inlet at Fort Worden in Port Townsend really “floated my boat,” you might say. Love those puffy huge things that look like you could bounce on them.

This overlook is right near my house. I have been complaining about the gray, wet skies, but when I see clouds like this I am content. And besides, as a gardening friend said, it’s great for weeding.

Taken almost the same time as the photo below, this rainbow really “floated my boat.” I have seen a few rainbows in my life, but I think this one was in the most scenic setting ever. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I like this photo very much (although it was hard deciding between this one and the one of the reflections on the ship’s hull below) and I am tagging it Best Post of the Week.

Our recent getaway to Port Townsend had some fine photo ops. This view towards Whidbey Island was about as scenic as it gets, with pink sky reflected on water, AND a rainbow, in case the view wasn’t pretty or colorful enough.

I was in a beautiful old garden down past Tacoma a week or so ago. The skies were amazing that day! My sky post for last week with the towering puffy clouds was taken that same afternoon. Cirrus clouds are some of my top faves, as they look like down wisps or cotton candy being spun, or, well, what do they look like to you?

The other day the clouds were just wild. I know it’s not safe to snap photos while driving, but sometimes it’s just imperative. I was blown away by the huge, towering forms in the deep blue sky. It looks like it was raining under them, but all was sunny and gorgeous where I was.
