Time to show and share your world! Hosted each week by Klaus, Sandy, Ivar, Wren, Fishing Guy and Louise, That's My World gives us all an opportunity to show and share the beauties of our worlds. Click here to sign up and join the fun!
This area, west of Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood, is a good place for both cautious sea outings for new kayakers during calm weather and more lengthy and challenging routes for the experienced. It includes popular and secluded sunbathing beaches, pleasure boats galore at the extensive marina, and sunset views of the Olympic Mountains.
Shilshole has many things to offer the visitor. There are lovely ponds where you can feed the ducks and watch the turtles sun. Click on any photo to embiggen and see more details.
Always love upside down ducks!
It's fun to walk on the beach and collect rocks -- well, I'm in to simple pleasures!
And there's no place better to watch a glorious sunset!
Or watch the boats in the harbor on a clear, beautiful day!
Or bring a blanket, spread it under the trees and enjoy a good book or a picnic and share the beauty!

I like that last idea best Sylvia; it's a beautiful spot!
But I'm ashamed to tell you what I *thought* your title was after a quick glance at it in my Google Reader (admittedly with my glasses off)
=:-O
LOL
The duck is giving a great show! Lovely harbor views but specially the sunset. Beautiful world where you are!

Beautiful world where you are Sylvia....thanks for the lovely tour.
we just returned from there, and it was beautiful.
Simple pleasures are right up my ally and your wonderful photos certainly provide a lot of wonderful views and words to give me plenty of pleasure, Sylvia.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful world :)
Amazing place fro relaxing and to watch the beautiful sunset. The snaps are beautiful.
Your world is a lot quieter than mine was this week! And beautiful as well. Love the duck!
Hi, I came over from authorblog. Great Sunday Roast! You have a wonderful blog here!! enJOY your day!!
Wonderful spot, Sylvia! I loved the duck with the tail up, the sailboats and I'd love to sit and watch the turtles! Beautiful!
this has everything for almost any body. i think i'll take a walk around the shore first and watch the ducks on the pond then spend the rest of my time on the green with a book as you suggested. thanks for thispost.
A gorgeous spot to be enjoyed by a variety of people. By the way, I think simple pleasures are the best.
It looks like a truly beautiful place, Sylvia. Great photos. Love the fresh, clean air!

Now there's a name to conjure with, or not. Actually, better not.
Wonderful pics as always, but I'm loving that little grove of trees in the last pic. I could enjoy a picnic there, bliss.
I am also a rockaholic Sylvia, you never know what you may find on a beach. Lovely sunset and the duck shot is great. I enjoyed the tour thank you.
Another beautiful series for MyWorld! I love the duck shot and that sunset is glorious. I'll be there in about a month - I can hardly wait!!!
What a beautiful place. I like to collect rocks too.
What a great place to spend an afternoon. I love that sunset, and watching the boats come and go would be relaxing, too.
Sylvia: You really can have fun seeing the simplier things of life.
what a great example of DOwn that is up :) Pretty shots
Beautiful your Shilshole Harbor World.

Thanks for the lovely comments on my blog.
I haven't had the fortune to visit a beach with rocks, but I do enjoy pebbles in a river, looking at the patterns on them etc.
I would love to turtle watch.
Its indeed a beautiful spot for a picnic. Its my kinda place! :)
OK, Sylvia, you make me want to book a flight tomorrow! Loved the turtle and duck - the water shots are spectacular.
I love those images of dining ducks.
And that is one heck of a marina there.
Beautiful place, friend.
Wonderful spots Sylvia, but the top and bottom pictures are calling my name. I would love to have a picnic there.
Such a beautiful harbor!
I love collecting rocks too. I have them all over the inside of my house.
Your world is a pretty one Sylvia.
Just a lovely lovely area!
Rocks are like animals. They are best in their natural environment. Rocks glowing under water become boring once they dry.
thank you for the lovely tour of Shilshole!
what a nice place to lay back and relax. oh, upside down ducks on water never fail to make me smile :D thanks for visitng!
What an idyllic spot. Thanks for sharing.
I remeber spending days at Shilshoe, the beach, parks, marina and the Sound. All great captures Sylvia. I too like ducks with butts up. What's up with that?
I love the sun set picture! You have a beautiful area to photograph. Thanks so much for sharing.
Great shots!
