Seattle's Dale Chihuly Exhibit

 The giant flowers scare me a little, but the rest of the exhibition was amazing! The next time I visit I would like to go again. If you like ocean life or gardens that you will enjoy this exhibit as well. It's right next to the Space Needle, so it's hard to miss! Also, they offer a slight discount if you buy tickets for both at the same time.

This is just the beginning of what I really enjoyed at the exhibit. I will post some more soon!

Whose up for kayaking?

One of these days I am going to try kayaking. It seems like a great way to get some exercise and enjoy the scenery from a different point of view. 

I was surprised at how close the deer came to the campsites. The orange thing in the top left corner is part of a tent. I got a little closer to this deer before I spooked her.

Was this place in a movie?

When I saw this view I had the thought "It looks like a scene from a movie". Even now, when I look at this photograph I have that same thought going through my head.

Such a picturesque road.

 If only the weather was always like this and I had all day to sit at that picnic table...

On the edge

The coastline

 There was this random fence that blocked nothing and was only one row. Maybe it was supposed prevent people like me from walking close the edge...

...like this.

I was very careful in how close to the edge I got. Who knows when the edge will give way again. I would have to walk very far along the coast to find a place I could even possibly climb up, and that would be with no injuries. So, if you do this please please please be very careful where you step!

A lighthouse, a rock and a bench

The lighthouse...can you see it?

 The rock....I hope you can see this!

The bench....with my beautiful friend, Kumi. Who wouldn't want to sit here and enjoy the view?

Specialties of the Island

Nature, nature and nature! I couldn't get enough of the island. Trees and hill sides shaped by the winds. 

Unexpected pops of color.

Seattle Series: On the Bremerton Ferry

A friend of mine suggested that I take the Bremerton Ferry to go to Seattle. She said that it has a different view from when you are driving to Seattle and you get to see the entire skyline for  cheaper price than a cruise on the water. 

I decided to take her advice and I am glad I did. I had an awesome view of downtown Seattle as the ferry pulled into the dock. But, it was very peaceful and quiet to be on a ferry and watching the scenery pass by. 

This way there is no stress of looking for parking, paying for parking, driving on the freeway or another or varieties of stress that we can get from driving. (Can you tell I'm not that into driving?) I wish I could fly and land where I want like a Seagull. But then again, maybe not. This Seagull had the hardest time landing from the wind.

But, he does have the best view going into the city.

 The ferry had really big windows so you could have a great view of the scenery outside without the wind.

I'm still surprised to find a Ferris Wheel on one of the piers. Was that always there? Or is it a new attraction?

The things we notice when don't live there.
