Several kites were aloft in the strong breeze.
I loved this old fashioned Box Kite.
We had to smile at this one.
Some were more colorful.
This one was beautifully delicate.
I watched them for quite a while.
Oh my goodness! Pussy willows are trying to bloom.
Shilshole Bay is watched over by Leif Erikson.
The first recorded European to set foot in North America,
he symbolizes Scandinavian-American immigration.
This statue was given to the Port of Seattle
during the World's Fair in 1962.
It stands in a small plaza surrounded by runic-like stones.
There are 850 immigrant names on
the plaques,
with space for another 600.
The project is funded by the Leif Erikson International Foundation [link].
