Low tide on the Duwamish River a couple of weeks ago. This spot is directly under the landing path for Sea Tac Airport. With the exception of the air traffic, this is a fairly serene location I have been coming to for years.

Blue Angels
As seen through the smoke that blankets Western Washington, the Blue Angels.
F-22
Yesterday one of my brothers in law took us out on Lake Washington on his 50′ yacht. Pretty amazing experience. Before the Blue Angels practiced, this F-22 did some fly-bys. Pretty amazing aircraft, as it can almost hover.
We are experiencing smoke from the wildfires in British Columbia, to our north. The photos I will post following this post will show you how smoky it has been this week; kind of looks like 1970’s Los Angeles, no offense to LA.
Also, I didn’t take my camera bag with me on the yacht, but just my camera and a portrait lens. I wasn’t able to get the best shots with this lens, even extended all the way out. There were about 22 of my wife’s family on board the yacht, a 50′ Bayliner that is equipped beyond what I could do justice describing.
Poised for Takeoff, Or?
Missing a propellor blade should be cause for grounding this aircraft. Or maybe it was a crash landing.
The Hangar Cafe
The Hangar Cafe, just across from the north side of Boeing ( King County Municipal Airport) Airfield is a converted house. The coffee is really good. I haven’t tried the food, yet. They are only open for breakfast and lunch.
