Sunlight piercing through water ripples creates the effect of mini laser light shows on stones beneath the surface. Photo taken at Magnuson Park on Lake Washington. Posted for the WPC with the theme of shine.

Quest for Seattle Viewpoints
Park Preview has its genesis in my quest for Seattle viewpoints after I became interested in photography again and finally replaced my little pocket point and shoot with a quality bridge camera at the beginning of 2015.
The blog grew out of my frustration with a lack of details available for the places I wanted to eventually go with my camera, and has now taken on a life of its own. I still haven’t visited most of the viewpoints on my original list yet. But the journey has been enjoyable, with unexpected turns, and I’ve experienced many places I would have overlooked if not for blogging.
My quest continues tomorrow as I take my best friend on her requested “urban outing” for her birthday this year (she lives in the ‘burbs) and we will have a chance to explore some new and old places together.
Photo taken at Ella Bailey Park and posted for the WPC with the “quest” theme.
Sand Sculpture
I was in Arlington yesterday to drop off my sister. She and our 78-year-old mom (she’s amazing!) met up there to head into the mountains for a 5 day/4 night backpacking trip on the Pacific Crest Trail.
Window Detail
The theme for the WPC this week is details. “Look past the big picture and take a more intimate approach.”
For this photo I zoomed in on the fabulous window details of the Kleinberg Building in downtown Ellensburg. It was built in 1889. The photo below shows how the window details adorn the building’s facade.
