Magnificent Monday: Transport!


Welcome everyone to another Magnificent Monday!

This weeks topic is “Transport”.

Let's have a lively week linking our articles on how we like to get around town. 

Be sure and leave your comments here and a link to your blog so I can come visit and comment.

Also add your blog post to the Mr. Linky at Holes In My Soles along with a comment.


Transportation where I live:

Transportation here on The Puget Sound outside of Seattle, Washington in the USA's Pacific Northwest involves boats of all types - and lots of them. Boats of all sizes from large and small ferries run by the State of Washington Transit System to tiny sailboats and kayaks. 

The Puget Sound is a system of interconnected  waterways which connect to the Pacific Ocean and Canada with at least 16 islands within its boundary..

Car Ferry - this one's quite rusty - it's been around a long time.  

Walk-on foot ferry for island hopping.

There are 100s of marinas.

Adorable sailboats of all types.


And adorable sea life.


Be sure and link up to the Mr. Linky at Holes in My Soles and also leave a link to your post in the comments below.  I'm looking forward to seeing your photographs and reading your post.

Happy clicking!

Hi mari, must be fun to move around in ferries especially to the nearby islands..so much fun for you over there.
I don’t live by the sea, apart from cars and busses, we travel by Light Rail Transit (LRT)- the fast moving electric maneuvered city train services. Save so much travel time and avoid traffic jams

Really beautiful! This would be a nice change of traffic for me.

It is fun! Every time we take the ferry to Seattle we feel like we are going on vacation!

Mine to - I always feel like I'm on vacation! The scenery is gorgeous any time of year from the ferry.
