I’m still in the State of Washington and the skies have been quite cloudy and boring these last couple of days. I took a walk yesterday along the Sammamish River Trail out from Bothell Landing. I decided this view with the lush green foliage could make up for the boring sky.

The Happy Wonderer ~ ellen b. 
This time of summer, the skies can become so dull, can’t they. Earlier this week we had smoky skies and dull gray. Fortunately a breeze blew it away and has replaced it with blues skies, but not many puffy clouds. It’s the lazy daze of summer, that’s for sure.

Beautiful and peaceful
I love the soft light, Ellen.
oh this looks like the perfect place to be
Owww! That is so rich! I love it!
Maybe “boring” skys (never, at least you can see some cloud definition), but the picture is NOT boring. Looks like a wonderful day to be there.
Lovely and serene, perfect reflection!
What a beautiful clear reflection!
Lovely Ellen!
The scenery definitely is lush. Dark skies and rain begone! (There, I clicked my fingers…but nothing happened, Sorry.)
Very nice.
It’s lovely, gray skies or no! It’s a beautiful place.
Great reflection. Congratulations.
It is a beautiful image, Ellen. You lead my eye right along the canal.
Beautiful….I love the reflection..
A lovely lavender sky – boring? Never, it’s wonderful!
Sorry, Ellen – Gandalf & Grayson is my cat’s blog… I must’ve been logged in as them last on WordPress 😉
I’m reading peace and tranquility in the river scene. Beautiful!
The sky may not be doing it’s best for you but this is still a lovely photo.
Oh, the sky is never boring. And reflected, with the foliage, it is lovely.
Beautiful photo. Not boring sky, what a wonderful soft color it is.
I needed a peaceful scene..thank you..
Ok – that works! Sometimes a sky can just be soothing! Yours is! Cheers, Klaus
Oh this is so beautiful and calm! Very nice and soothing!
Very nice photo – I love these pictures with reflections in water…:))
Beautiful!!!
Very pretty, Ellen. Most of the time for us Washington and Oregon were cloudy with boring clouds to hide the sun. It rained often but not heavy.
Enjoy your summer, 🙂

Lovely, peaceful and beautiful shot:) I like it very much!

There is a lovely softness in the sky reflecting, for depth in the water! I think this is just beautiful!
Hi! Yes it is a gray sky and when it has been gray for a couple of days, it may seem boring, but for me, it is great. I love how it is reflected in the the water.
I love the reflections – makes a grey sky not at all boring! Happy Skywatch Friday!
Very pretty. I like the way you have the reflections in the water on this one.
Great photo. Grey skies are OK.
Try photographing flowers in overcast skies. The lighting is perfect for this.

Very beautiful picture and the reflection is clear.
Love the shot. I actually thought this was shot in England when I first looked at it, reminds me of Constable. Thanks for sharing.
The skies are lavender – gorgeous, ellen! 🙂
Happy weekend! Perfect one for SWF! We all live under the same sky, but we don’t all have the same horizon…. Mine’s up too hope you can drop by…
Hello Ellen,
I’ve missed you the last few mornings. I’m having a bit of a struggle…do I spend time with the Lord before work or do I post before work. Obviously I know the answer which explains my absence. I hope you’re having a blessed week and it looks like the sky is grey but still lovely. We’ve been having humid skys.
See you soon,
Cori
Just beautiful!
Always like a beautiful reflcetion on still water. Very peaceful.
Beautiful reflection on the water love these kind of shots
That scene is so peaceful!!!
I love the reflection and the green color! Great photo. I just found your blog, and you have a wonderful collection! Love it!
This reminds me of a Monet painting. Very lovely.
Beautiful and peaceful.
I think that I’m in Paradise!!!!
Have a nice weekend!

so lovely!
I love reflection. Great capture.
Lovely picture. Washington state is so wonderful and green. And cool.
My Skywatch this week looks at the skies around Bangkok and Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand
far from boring! this landscape is beautiful. I love the reflection you caught!
Beautiful ! it looks like a painting !
But doesn’t the song go, “The bluest skies I’ve ever seen …?” Even as I kid I knew that blue skies were a rare thing in the Puget Sound area! Still, God did take extra care making it beautiful when he created that country.
There are so beautiful! Such brilliant colors!

What a lovely peaceful scene … complete with reflections! Just lovely even if skies are cloudy.
Hugs and blessings,
A beautiful shot. Love it.
Hello Ellen, by that is such a peaceful shot.

Ellen,
Thanks so much for the nice comment about the picture of the “full moon” . Actually by fiancee and I were driving down the highway going on vacation to Arkansas, when he took it. He didn’t have a tripod, but he said he wished that he had have one. He actually just held the camera in his hand and pointed out through the window and took it. He has a pretty good camera and has taken a lot of pictures. I wish that I was as talented as he is! You might like his blogs, he takes pictures of anything and most everything. He has one named http://www.oklahomaandbeyond.blogspt.com and http://www.khcsportsphotos.blogspot.com. If you want, it might be easier to link to them from my blog, they are listed on my “Favorite Blogs” link on my blog.
I’ll add your blog to my favorite because it is a definite “favorite” of mine!!
Thanks again for the nice compliment…
Kelly
