Seattle Series: Chambers Creek and Titlow Beach

I remember coming here in 2003-ish and thankfully this area has not changed! (Titlow Beach)

Many people in Seattle enjoy kayaking! This a good activity for summer, but maybe winter is a little too cold for it. (Chambers Creek)

From here you have a closer view of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Going to the Gig Harbor side is free, but coming back you have to pay a toll. (Titlow Beach)

I'm positive I saw this same boat, or a boat that looks exactly like it, when I visited here around 2003! (Titlow Beach)

It must be nice to have a house over the water. Summer dinners on the deck must be very relaxing!

Atsuta Shrine: At Jingumae Station

 As I mentioned in my previous post, the trees here are beautiful! I couldn't stop looking up! After walking around all day in the heat it was a pleasant way to end my walk.

 Would you believe this is all in the middle of a city? You can't even hear any of the traffic noise in here.

 This is me being covert and taking a photo of the man who works at the Shrine. I didn't have enough guts to go up to him and ask if I could take his photo......but maybe you will!

 This man stole my idea!

Just kidding! I know everybody does this, who could resist!

 

 I found the pond that is pretty much a haven for turtles...and Koi apparently, but it's difficult to see them unless they are bright orange.

 Like this guy.

I think he wanted his picture taken....so I obliged.

 A bridge that you can't cross over....only look at.

I don't know why, but I liked the fact that there was only one pigeon sitting on the Torii gate. You'd think there would be more.

Okay, I know I promised roosters, but you will have to wait until my next post to see them. But, I promise I have them!!
