WW: Classic Puget Sound house _(Another in my unintended series on endangered Old Settler houses in the district where I grew up. I've loved this one since I first rowed the lake at the age of 8. Its classic Puget Sound lines – detached garage, gable roof, dormers, shed-roofed second story, barn paint and gleaming white trim – I associated with grandparents, partly because my own raised their kids and still lived in one like it. Lacking a boat these days – embarrassing as that is – I took this shot through the back fence; bit of a shame, really, because the view from the water, while less bucolic than it was those many years ago, is much more evocative of the prewar era in this part of the world. [See photo below, taken by a school chum from his front yard in 1965.] A popular city park was built beside it in the 70s, and I'm told the city bought this property too when the last elderly resident moved out a few years ago. That explains the nominal effort to make the boarding-up less unsightly, but sadly, almost certainly also signals the end of this fine old example of Green Side architecture.)_

A grey and white gull with a yellow beak that has a red spot at the end sits on the breakwater of a marina with a tan colored spotted chick just underneath, squawking. Two yellow flowered plants frame the birds on both sides and there is a clear blue sky in the background

Sailing into the #background. On my birthday last week, I wanted to be in my happy place: aboard a #wsf. Boat traffic in the #PugetSound, including this guy, added a few bonus minutes to the crossing. Happy birthday to me! #blueskyartshow #pnw #ferry

A pale yellow colored basket star in an aquarium. It’s reflection can be seen on the inside glass of the aquarium, and a burrowing cucumber is visible in the background, while a white plumose is in the foreground.
