Gray, nothing but gray. Gray skies and gray water.
While waiting in my school bus,
for my tech students to come out of Marine Tech at Seahurst Beach,
I always enjoy the view.
: : :
On bright sunny days the view is stunning.
White snow-capped Olympic Mountains,
the deep ultramarine blue of Puget Sound,
and varigated emerald greens of the islands and shoreline.
Throw in some gulls and crows,
with a sprinkling of ocean going ships or tugs and barges,
and you have perfection.

Today, well, not so much.
Actually, there wasn’t much of anything.
Just gray.

If you live or have lived in the Northwest
you know what heavy drizzle can do.
Like soak your coat in a couple minutes and,
change a beautiful view into a sheet of gray.
Here looking out ‘at’ Vashon Island, there is gray,
with just a bit darker gray line at the shoreline.
Above the shoreline is gray sky,
beneath is the gray salty waters of Puget Sound.
Gray.

It may not be “beautiful”, but it’s a glimpse of your world and that’s perfectly okay with me. :)
I had to look twice to see that there is indeed a photo posted. That’s a really, really gray world. :)
Wow, that looks like something we’re having here down in Galveston.
Actually, I think getting lost in this greyness is quite soothing and beautiful in it’s own way.
i like it. :)
That is awesome. I would print this and hang it up Madge.
Isn’t it amazing how many different wonderful views there are in WA that are so very common here. We sometimes head down to the bay late at night – if it is very foggy – just to sit and listen to the fog horns and feel the fog.
Only you can make a gray day look beautiful~
Oh my goodness, Madge, who turned off the color up there?
WOW and brava .. not an easy task capturing fog
It is really heavy drizzle, not fog, but the look of it is very similar! Gray! :-)
That’s what I call a monochromatic day. We’ve had a lot of gray hues lately too.
Wow. Cool.
Snow, nothing but snow.
Trying get someone to take pictures at Congdon’s Castle without getting busted.
Is there ghosts?
BOO!
