Waterfront Birds

Walked along the waterfront in October and caught some pics of some birds. It started sunny and got more cloudy as I walked home. Usually I take vids/pics of sea lions and harbor seals, but for some reason on this day it was all about the birds :D

 

Jack Block in October

Jack Block Park, one of my places I go around once a month, back in October. I like the quiet little beach there and the way the pebbles shift under my feet when walking. Plus, I usually find little collections people leave on the logs there.

 

Under Seattle

 

Bill Speidel's Underground Tours, was really fun for my birthday this year, back in October. We didn't have to worry about rain or anything, because almost all the tour was underground, in the parts of the city left over from after the big fire that burned down the city long ago. Most of it was built over 120 years ago, and it was a nice trip through history with some silly puns and education mixed together. There was so much more to see than I took pics of, but prob my favorite part was when we walked on the streets earlier, I saw these purple squares that were neat enough I took a pic of them, and then in tour, we were under the same exact amethyst squares! Very cool :)

 

Waterfront this Week

Gotta love all the wildlife around here, from sea lions groups to bird flocks, today they were all very active. Usually I see some harbor seals as well, but they were busy elsewhere today. Just walking along the waterfront near the water taxi docks.

Alki Beach

Alki Beach has some really nice views of the waterfront. I sometimes walk all the way down to there and walk in the sand, look for sea glass and sea shells, and sit on a log and just take it all in.
