Floating on logs and pontoons, houseboats are quite charming. Seattle has a long history of houseboats along the inland lakes and waterways around town. Here on an early summer evening, you can see several houseboats, the floating walkway to access them and many plants and trees that bring color and texture to their surroundings.

Well, there are houseboats and there are houseboats, but this is a HOUSEBOAT!
I love the the deep reich colors in this shot, Madge. The reflections add a nice touch as well.
This looks very charming.
I immediately think ‘Sleepless In Seattle’ and am amazed at these beautiful homes that just happen to float.
looks like such a pleasant and peaceful place to live. Love the colors. I want one now :)

It looks like a happy place to live!
I love small (truly small) houses…this seems so exotic.
And, the colors…oh, my!
Looks like a great place to live.

One thing about blogging…you get to see things you might never have the opportunity to see/visit/hear about. This is one of those…absolutely wonderful. Thanks Madge, for sharing this!

It looks like living in a garden!
This spot is just gorgeous! Fabulous capture and reflections too.
These are such interesting houses.
That one in the middle looks like a floating gypsy wagon.
Great photo…as usual.
Hmmmm….. I am thinking I would like to sit on that dock and swing my legs in the water…. fantastic!
