Way back in January we had some nice clear weather so I bundled up and went down to the waterfront.
I walked out on the pier, it was really cold and it's always windy on the pier. The ferry was docked, letting cars and passengers off, then reloading for the trip across the sound. In the background you could see Mount Baker. Course, my phone made it look really tiny. It's about 100 miles from us but with the naked eye, it looked so big and so close.
I went all the way to the end of the pier, and I took this picture before heading back.
Then I walked along the marina. There was another ferry coming into Edmonds and a fisherman was getting ready to take his boat out.
Then I headed to the beach. Usually I just walk along the pathway and sit on a bench for a while. But this time I decided to walk on the sand. It had been years since I'd done that! It was January though so I kept my shoes on. 😊
This is looking back toward the pier and the mountains.
These are the Olympic Mountains. These are west of us. The Cascades are to the east of us. This area really is beautiful on a clear day.
By the time I got to the end of the beach, another ferry had docked. It was so peaceful down there and exactly what I needed!
I hope you're able to take some time for you this week. Find a quiet place to sit and reflect on your blessings. Have a wonderful weekend!

Nice pictures! Do you live close to the beach?
It's been a day or two since I've been to the Edmonds ferry water front. Beautiful winter photos!
Those views are absolutely beautiful!! Wow. Thanks for sharing the peace with us!!
Enjoyed walking with you. Snow tipped mountains are magical. Even our generally rugged, brown peaks are special when frosted with snow.
Those are wonderful pictures, and I can imagine just how lovely this really was, with the sounds, and breeze and beauty surrounding you. Mountains all around you! WoW! Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing this beautiful escape with us!!!
I'd love to see that in person! What remarkable waterscapes!
Your photos are so beautiful. What a great walk you had.
This is a place within walking distance of your home? That is so cool. It's beautiful.
Such beautiful photos. I miss the northwest. We lived in Spokane for 30 years and I miss being there and seeing the ocean anytime we felt like driving over to the coast. And the mountains. I miss that very much. Thanks for taking us along.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
