Along the waterfront

 Since they didn't need him at work, Kyle took me for a walk along the waterfront today.  We managed to strike a sunny patch in between the squalls.  The wind was sharp, but exhilarating.

I'm not sure of the significance of the padlocks.  They may be tokens of love.  They show up all along the fence here.  Some have names and initials scratched into them.

You can fish in this part of the river, but don't eat anything that lives here.  Salmon and steelhead are just passing through, so they're ok.  I love that it's in 6 languages.

An urban marina.  No parking within about a mile  of this dock.

The cherry trees were shedding clouds of petals in the wind.  It was a gorgeous day!  We got in a brisk two miles and did the full circuit of the river walk.  Boy, I just LOVE being retired!
