The topic for Cee’s B&W Challenge this week is trees. The above tree lived a long life, then bobbed around Lake Wenatchee for a while before washing up on the beach at the State Park. The tree below is a former madrona on Magnolia Bluff.

Osprey Nest at Fishermen’s Terminal in Seattle
I stopped by Seattle’s Fishermen’s Terminal three weeks ago to get an idea of what it’s like there in summer and to take a few photos since I was already in the area. (I’ll be posting a preview within the next month.)
Park Benches in B&W
The topic for Cee’s B&W Challenge this week is seating, and it’s only apropos for this blog to feature park benches. These benches were newly installed at Echo Lake Park in the spring of 2015. I really like their old-fashioned styling.
Seattle Viewpoints
I’ve added a new page to my blog menu with a list of Seattle viewpoints. It breaks down Seattle area viewpoints by category. So if you’re looking for a specific type of scenery for a picnic, want to know where you can watch trains or boats, or are looking for interesting places to go for your photography hobby, this should make it easy to find which parks might have what you’re looking for.
The Seattle viewpoints page only includes parks that I have already previewed, so is in no way comprehensive at this time. As I preview more parks with views I will update the page.
I also recently updated the Lazy Birding page to list the best parks I’ve previewed so far for easy bird watching in the Seattle area. The list is at the bottom of the page and it will be updated as I go as well.
