| We emerged from the woods and saw this view of Puget Sound from Magnolia Bluff. |
 |
| Don't get too close to the edge! |
 |
| Beautiful view of the sound. |
 |
| On to the Chittenden Locks, where we watched two boats navigate the locks. A yacht and... |
 |
| a much smaller vessel. |

| "Salmon Waves" sculpture at the locks. |

| More public art in Magnolia. |
FYI: The group explored this area in April, 2017, too. Here's the link to photos from that outing: Chittenden Locks - Springtime

ReplyDeleteOops! Let me try again!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your hikes, even on your dreary days. I hope to do a lot more hiking after I retire. I especially love the wave sculpture.
It's Multicultural Children's Book Day! Stop by my blog and celebrate with us.
Thanks for stopping by, Deb. I've been wondering if Saturday Snapshot participants were getting bored with my hiking photos! Thanks for letting me know that you enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm going to hop over to your blog to see your post.
Bored? As our mutual friend Ron says, "Surely you jest!" They are wonderful Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteYou are braver than i am. The longest distance I got from my warm house yesterday was trips to the mailbox at the end of the driveway.
GRIN.

Thanks for leaving a comment, Colleen. Believe it or not, only a few drops of rain sprinkled the group. I think the wettest weather must have been farther south, around Auburn. We were chilly, however, especially when the wind kicked up.
ReplyDeleteYou enjoyed your hike in spite of the weather! It's good.
ReplyDelete'Waves' look very interesting.
Klara, we hike in all kinds of weather and always have a good time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog.
Thanks for your comment, Vicki. The only thing that would keep us from hiking is unsafe driving conditions or unsafe conditions at our destination. When we had fierce windstorms, the senior center came up with alternate places to hike.
ReplyDeleteI never would have guessed that I'd be hiking as a senior citizen, but I'm loving it. Part of the fun for me is taking pictures and posting them on Saturday Snapshots.
Gorgeous photos! I love the area where you live, and adore the art and sculpture too. Thanks for sharing...and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog, Laurel-Rain. I hope to take more photos of public art soon and post them for Saturday Snapshots. I'm glad you enjoy those kinds of pictures.
ReplyDeleteI especially liked the locks and the sculptures.
ReplyDeletelove those sculptures.. have only once been close enough to Puget Sound and that was while onboard the Coast Starlight..
ReplyDeleteLynne, the locks were fascinating. I always enjoy sculptures, too, especially in public settings where anyone can enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteLady in Read: I'd love to take the Coast Starlight train someday. What an experience that must have been!
ReplyDeleteI admire your stamina. When I FINALLY retire, I plan on hitting the trails.

Hi, Kelly. Maybe you can join our group! You don't have to be an Auburn resident to participate. As for stamina, I'd do a lot better if I'd lose 20 or 30 pounds.
