I grew up in Alaska with lots of bald eagles around, but I always pause to appreciate them when I see them. I’ve had the pleasure of watching them in all sorts of different behaviors, but this is the first time I ever watched an eagle take a bath.
Granted, this took place in a zoo, and animal behaviors can be different in captivity. I still thought it was pretty cool to watch.
He would splash his wings around in the water and even repeatedly dunk his head under water to splash it up over his body. At first I thought maybe he was just trying to cool down, then I remembered that I was wearing a winter coat.
This just seemed like an appropriate picture to post for Halloween. I took this photo at the University Street Fair last spring.

Once upon a time, this landmark housed the Raineer Brewery. It had a big red R on top. You remember the commercials, a motorcycle shifting through gears “Raaaay Neeeeeeer Beeeeeeer”
The building has since been purchased by the Tully’s Coffee and much of the building has been sectioned off into artists’ lofts. The paint job is relatively new and I have yet to warm to the new color scheme.
Seattle has no shortage of lovely spaces near the water, but Golden Gardens near Ballard is one of our favorite spots.
This particular sport was entirely new to me. I don’t believe I’ve seen anything like it. They were not surfing (no waves), but they were paddling the boards while standing up.
Cruise ships making their way out of Seattle; most likely on their way to Alaska.
