Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy: The Online Diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother

Welcome to the online diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother (me) who is busy celebrating the positive portions of her everyday life ... along with her best friend husband (Cary). It is quite an eclectic diary and I try to do my best to incorporate a little bit of history into many of my posts. Your visit to our piece of American Pie is greatly appreciated. This chatty Kathy posts frequently, so coming back to visit often is highly encouraged.

Downtown Seattle, Washington:

On June 18th, Cary and I drove to Seattle to watch a Mariner's game. Here are some of the pictures that I took of the downtown area, most of them from a rainy car window. Most of them certainly are not award winning, but I think that they give you an idea of the what Seattle's downtown looks like, if you haven't been there yet. I hope that you enjoy them!

Sometimes, if a photo doesn't turn out "good", I'll mess around with it to see if I can still use it:

Hootin Anni said...: Damp, gloomy....but all in all a beautiful city. Did you cross the bridge that actually 'floats' across the water? I can't remember the name of the bridge...but it's scary.

Pat - Arkansas said...: Seattle seems a very interesting place, even in the rain. I like the bright splashes of color (as on the lamp posts and the aquatic ?billboard?). Perhaps, someday, I'll get a chance to visit there.; June 29, 2011 at 7:16 AM

Unknown said...: Wow these brought back some memories for me. I used to live about an hour and a half north of Seattle in a town called Sedro Woolley and used to visit the city frequently. Man, I miss Seattle.; June 29, 2011 at 8:45 PM
Magical Mystical Teacher said...: Thank you for the memories, Kathy. I was in Seattle for the first (and so far, only) time a year ago, and it warmed my heart to see familiar places!

MOST WONDERFUL

The sky’s a most wonderful thing,
Enjoyed by both peasant and king;
No matter the eye
That see the bright sky
The proper response is to sing!
