My World for Tuesday #6

Click on this and see many more and join the rest of us to show your world!







Soon after I moved to Seattle I became fascinated by the seaplanes that were always flying overhead, around Seattle and surrounding areas. On my birthday this past August my son, Adam, surprised me and my visiting niece with my hearts desire -- a flight on one of those seaplanes! So, I thought I would share this part of 'my world' with you today.
Here is my niece and I getting ready to board the plane.



These are just various shots that my son took from the window of the plane. I hadn't started using his camera at this time and that's too bad because I had the best seat on the plane -- the co-pilot's seat and I had a better view than anyone!

More random shots. Here, if you click on the photo you can see thevarious depths of the water off shore.










This shot is a park above the harbor near our house. We came here after having lunch at my favorite restaurant. I spend a lot of time here at this lovely, peaceful place.





Above is, of course, the Space Needle near downtown Seattle.
And here is the Seattle skyline. As you can see, we are surrounded by a lot of water -- almost everywhere you look.

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
