Have you ever arrived in a community and felt hugged? That was my first impression about Edmonds, Washington, my sister’s town. As we sipped coffee, sampled toasted cheese sandwiches, and strolled along the high tide mark looking for beach glass, I thought, “Wow, this is one of the most picturesque waterfront communities around.” So yes, even though it’s connected at the hip with Seattle, 11 miles to the south, Edmonds has a small-town feel to it. But rather than babble away, I’ll let the photos do the talking…
Wait. I’m getting ahead of myself. First we had to fly to Seattle from Alaska…
Alas, it was time to say goodbye. I’ll miss the views of the Olympics and Puget Sound, and the Cascade Mountains. And good coffee. I wanted to stick around for the scarecrow contest, but we were off to Italy. But that’s another story…
Thanks for stopping by, er, visiting…
Have a wonderful trip to Italy Marion….
I love the Lakes District!
What is the size of your glass ball?
Is there a camera lens for the same affect?
Hi Jayne… the glass ball is about 2 inches in diameter. A friend bought it for me from a magician’s supply firm. Don’t know of a camera lens but I’m sure it’s out there… Big hugs to you!
Loved the statue hugging photo! Those seagulls look pretty safe! thanks for sharing your travels Marion.
Glad you enjoyed it, Diana. And sheeesh, I’m glad the gulls look safe. Otherwise it would be concrete poop. Silly stuff, I know. May we always carry a childlike attitude. Love to you!
I feel like I have had a lovely vacation this morning -thanks to your beautiful pictures. I had Lunch too – I LOVE soup and cheese sandwiches. YUM!
Happy to “send” you on a vacation, Linda. Travel happens in many ways, both exterior and interior. As for the toasted cheese sandwiches… the BEST comfort food!
Very interesting post with great photos.
Thank you for it!
You are most welcome. It was fun… and thanks for your comment. I’m inspired to do more!
