Water and Sky - Sky Watch Friday
The sky over my part of the great Northwest has been rather grey and foggy, for the last few days. We had heavy rain, which led to flooding, landslides and raging rivers. Below is a view of the Deschutes River at Tumwater Falls Historical Park in downtown Olympia
That certainly contrasts with the way the sky was just a few days beforehand. Olympia is the capitol city of Washington State and is built at the tip of Pugent Sound on the Budd Inlet. In the distance you can see the Olympia mountain range..
And as a bonus ... I also got my first shot of a Heron :-)
Go to SKYWATCH for views of the sky from all over the world !

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog, Karen. I'll join in and be back. Love the waterfall picture the most.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, I learned something and remembered something. I didn't know that Olympia was the capital of Washington and I remember Olympia beer from when I was a kid and the ads always said something about brewed with water from Tumwater springs or falls or something like that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
What beautiful skies in your corner of the world and a super shot of the heron.
