The bottom picture is of Crater Lake in Oregon and the others are of the drive on Oregon coastal Highway 101. In Cannon Beach it was cool but beautiful!

More pics of the Zoo...I just can't help it!

I had a great time at the Cougar Mountain Zoo in Issaquah. New to the zoo are 2 baby tigers. One is white and the other is brown. The zookeepers brought them into a fenced grassy play area and the cubs played with each other and some toys.

This is a snapshot of Chihuly glass. It is located in the bridge of glass in Tacoma. The Glass Museum located close by is a fun place to see. They have plenty of art from popular glass artists and also have glass art demonstrations and classes.

Blind Street Musician

While downtown Seattle at Post Alley eating soup and salad for lunch, this blind guitarist was playing some great music.

Rattlesnake Ledge Hike

2009-05-26T14:13:00.000-07:00

The view off of Rattlesnake Ledge is beautiful and when I was there it was busy. Located off of Exit 32 on I-90, it's a 4 mile hike.

Tracks In The Snow

The sun was out so I went for a quick walk before it started snowing again. Wow what a crazy cold snap we are having. The train tracks were beautiful with the layer of snow on them and some sort of animal had been running around on the bridge.

Halloween Fun

Around halloween we followed I-90 to Snoqualmie Pass. The small local pub was having an Oktoberfest party. This picture is the bridge to the pub. Wow what fun with beer, brauts, sauerkraut and traditional German music.

By the way this is my first post from my new MacBook Pro :-)

Time For A Winery

Near Seattle in Woodenville is the Chateau St. Michelle Winery. During the summer evenings they have a concert series.

This path in Lincoln Park is just beautiful. Many people walking their dogs or jogging.

At the top of a tall tree was a crow. I looked away and then looked back and saw a tiny humming bird. He flew away and then came back minutes later.

Emma Schmitz Memorial Viewpoint

2008-05-26T20:10:00.000-07:00

While in West Seattle we picked up some food to go from Lee's Asian and headed down to the water. Figuring it would be impossible to find parking at Alki beach, we stayed on the south side of the point.

We sat on the bench at Emma Schmitz Memorial Viewpoint, ate a fantastic lunch while enjoying the view of Lincoln Park and some of the local islands.

Close to an Iris

During the winter I relocated to be closer to my job, so this is the first spring season in my home. It's interesting to see the bulbs and plants bloom.

First day of blog

2008-05-20T19:26:00.000-07:00

I've been looking for a way to show some pictures of Washington State, so I thought blogging would be fun. I live in the Seattle Metropolitan area and love it for it's beauty and recreation.

Since it is May 20, it is appropriate to highlight the most amazing mountain in the state and of course the country~ ok, so I'm blatantly bias!! On May 18th 1980 Mount St. Helens exploded and changed the surrounding landscape forever.
