Spada Lake

Not too far from Snohomish is Spada Lake. This is a manmade lake that serves as a reservoir for Snohomish and is operated by the Snohomish PUD (Public Utilities Division, can't get used to that abbreviation).

Father's Day

Sorry it has taken me a week to get these photos posted. Been busy around the house trying to get caught up from our short house sit in Queen Anne. While we were there, we celebrated Father's day and here are a few photos to mark the event.

A Short House Sit in Queen Anne

This weekend we have a short house sit in Queen Anne, a neighborhood just north of downtown Seattle. A few of the things to do near us were calling so we got out to see a few sights.

Our first stop was at Kerry park. This small park sits on the edge of a hill from which we could see most of Downtown Seattle and the sound.

Poulsbo

In Kitsap county, we find Poulsbo, a small town founded by a Norwegian, Jørgen Eliason, in the 1880's.

A Sleeping Charlie

The little Miss Charlie is having a nap. Thought you'd like to see her.

Lowell Riverfront Park

This is a house across the Snohomish River that I've photographed before but never from this angle. There's rumors of a little rain coming our way and today we see further hints of same in the gowing array of clouds. We've had very little rain for our region this month and the snowpack is below half what it should be for this time of year. Some water would be nice.

Everett Farmer's Market

We drove to Everett to check out the farmer's Market there and here are a few images of what we saw there. Lots of flower vendors to bee seen along with the food concessions and the crafty folks.
