It’s time for Alphabe-Thursday with our great teacher Jenny! We are on the letter W.
I live in the state of Washington so I’m surrounded by W. I’m just showing a little of the North end of Lake Washington today. There are two floating bridges that cross Lake Washington and lots of beautiful inlets and homes and parks on the shores of the Lake. Bill Gates of Microsoft fame has a home on Lake Washington. The University of Washington is also adjacent to Lake Washington and if you’ve ever watched a football game on T.V. where Washington is playing you’ll see the beautiful backdrop of the Lake from one of the end zones.
Speaking of W, we are also surrounded by water here in our state. Sometimes that water is falling down on us. Our Western boundary is on the Pacific Ocean. Some of our Northwestern boundary is on the Strait of Juan de Fuca. In the Seattle area we are intersected here and there by the Puget Sound. We have the mighty Columbia River running through our state. We have many wonderful Islands.
I took these photos today Wednesday September 21st so you can see we are cloudy again with a chance of rain. It’s not cold, though. We are heading to the upper 70’s today.
Thanks for visiting. Soon I’ll be waltzing over to see what you are sharing for the letter W.

Looks like a beautiful part of the country. Great photos. xo,
Your area looks very beautiful, Ellen. I love living near the water here on the east coast.
This looks like a wonderful place to explore on land and in the water!
such a beautiful place to live!
We share some of that Water – that’s me waving across the Straits of Juan de Fuca!
Beautiful photos……relaxing views for me.
Water…Washington…and Wan de Fuca. Smile. It’s a wonderful world indeed!
Thank you ..I so enjoy your photos!
Lovely, oh so beautiful place, I’ve been there before! thank you!
Washington is Wonderful and I Wouldn’t Want to live anyWhere else!
Beautiful pictures! Glad you are better!
Miss Debbie! I’m so sorry but I can’t leave comments on your blog anymore. Blogger is being wierd and not allowing me to comment…
That looks like a beautiful country and I love your photo’s. GReat W words
WWWWell done! WWWWay to go with the W! WWWWonderful pics!
No need to waltz my way as I’ve never tried this event. It looks like fun, though. Washington has always seemed like a romantic place to me. Must be because I loved the show “Here Come the Brides.” Now that is dating me!
Beautiful! Is that something growing out of that old pole?
Have a great weekend, very warm still here!
Those are some great W’s you shared!
I just got an idea for a “W’ post that I wish I’d thought of earlier! Washington wines! They are my very favorite and I do believe that it is time for a trip to one of my favorite places, Walla Walla, Washington! Maybe if Ms. Jenny does this meme again, I’ll have to do a piece on your lovely state’s wonderful wines!!!!
So sorry about all the clouds but if Bill Gates lives there it HAS to be an outstanding place to live.
What I love most about your part of Washington is the wonderful water! Water, water everywhere!
How I LOVE your cloudy skies and cool weather!!! I think some of it escaped to my neck of the woods today…Lovely!!!!
I’ve been up and down the east coast more times than I can remember and we’ve been lots of places in the middle, but I would really like to drive the west coast at least once. Your area would definitely be a highlight of the trip.
Your photos all look so cool, as in NOT 101 degrees outside! I could sure use a little of that glorious weather right now!!!
Hi,
I have been to Washington a few times. Very beautiful state. Everything is so green and lush. Thanks for visiting my blog.
My husband and I always love visiting Washington. The green lushness is such a contrast to the desert where we live. I exclaim over and over again…oh my…look how green that is…until I get on my husbands nerves! ha!
What a beautiful post!
Thanks for the mini vacay. It was much appreciated!
And thank you for linking up to Alphabe-Thursday’s letter “W”.
