Seattle Centennial Park

Although I've shared a multitude of photos from my daily waterfront walks, I don't recall mentioning the trail goes through Seattle's Centennial Park.

At the Start

My walks usually start at dawn.
November 16th.

Sometimes later.

The sky is different every day.
(That seems obvious, doesn't it? But so many people
are so preoccupied with their ego they don't notice nature.)

Start at sunrise.
November 10th.
(First Wednesday on Standard Time)

Another early start.
A cold morning. November 15th.

Dedicated to Commemorate the Port's 100th Anniversary
1911 - 2011

Plenty of clouds this time of year.
Bottom right ... windy!

Mt Rainier

Space Needle with an amazing sky.
November 16th.

Tuesday, November 9, storm damage.

Park workers cleared the path quickly.

Early morning look at Pier 90.
Alaskan fishing vessels dock here in winter.

Ovation of the Seas has stayed in the neighborhood
after completing her Alaska cruise season.

It's unusual for a cruise ship to call Seattle home over the winter.
(Since I started preparing this post, Ovation has gone
south to near San Francisco and is now returning to
Seattle, November 26th)

Getting tied up at the Grain Terminal.
Like my computer often says, "This can take a while."

Got a kick out of the ship's name.
Usually they are feminine.
This one is clearly a KING.

Elliott Bay Harbor - Commercial vessels

I'm often fascinated with the grafitti on the cars bringing
grain to the Grain Terminal. When, where, and why?

Wondered if this was someone's self portrait.
And, what were they smoking? 😵

Fuzzy, but captures the mood: early morning, overcast, rain
on the way.

Downtown from the trail.
Note the small building at far right ... The Smith Tower.
Completed in 1914 it was among
the tallest skyscrapers outside New York City.

Across the Sound, entrance to Eagle Harbor fogged in.

Goes in the dictionary next to mouthful.

Hello.
(From a distance I thought it was a wild turkey 😉)

These birds circled around and around staying in the group.

Enjoy more critter photos at Saturday's Critters!

Downtown from the trail.

Always tempting but too windy on this day.

Hummer Update

It's been a while since I've posted anything about my hummingbirds. I continue to be blessed with hummingbirds, off and on, all day, every day. They are a joy!
