Another fun day trip is to the Ballard Locks. Here, Flynn watches the salmon traversing the ladder. | Salmon working their way through. | Flynn and Guinness outside by the fish ladder. | Back inside, watching the salmon again. | The salmon that day were Coho, I think. | A particularly patient seagull. |
Tugboats, pleasure yachts, sailboats, they’re all here. | One of Argosy’s cruise boats in the big lock. | The water’s going down, so they can get out to the Sound. | The family hanging out while they lower the water. | Innaias is in there, honest. | Almost all the way down now. Guinness took this picture, sitting on Pete’s shoulders, so we could get the best view. |
The downhill gate is open, and the boats are heading out. | Guinness loved climbing on all the mooring bollards. | Lunch at Ray’s Boathouse is a great way to finish up a trip to the locks. | A large pier outside is a great place to run around. | An airplane passing by. A Navion, maybe, judging from the landing gear and canopy. | Guinness! |
