One of the things I have loved most about my world here in Seattle was being near the water. When I first moved here I lived with my son in Ballard, a small suburb of Seattle, and I was only minutes away from Puget Sound. Once I got into photography I spent many hours there taking pictures and drinking in the beauty. That part of Seattle I'm going to miss!! So, today I will share some of that beauty with you! Enjoy!

All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Marie Curie

Trees are the earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.
Rabindranath Tagore

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
Kahlil Gibran

The poetry of the earth is never dead.
John Keats

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
Lao Tzu

Great things are done when men and mountains meet.
This is not done by jostling in the street.
William Blake

    What a beautiful area Sylvia. I just saw a documentary on Puget Sound. That's my favourite Gibran quote!

    You certainly have a wealth of wonderful photos to remind you of your favorite haunts, Sylvia. I also like the saying about nature and not being in a hurry … it is something worth pondering as being in a hurry seems to be a habit in modern life. :)
