Harborside Fountain Park in Bremerton, Washington

We walked here (where I also found many beautiful benches I have already shown on my bench blog -- remember the blue ones?)before we went to the Naval Museum nearby. It was raining; my camera was not extending the lens and I was one unhappy camper thinking I would not get any photos at all. Thus, a few are better than none. I hope to revisit here one day when I am visiting in Port Orchard again. I will know how to go myself on the foot ferry and can take my time. . . one day . . .

PS The stairs is a water fountain. . . the water just trickled down the stairs.

Just like the Kaiser shipyard here in Vancouver, women were an important part of the war effort in many cities.  How wonderful that Bremerton cared enough to honor this one to represent all!

I was peeking out the entrance on the ride to Bremerton when I spotted this rainbow, so I got brave, stood up and went out on deck and shot the next photo.

Foot Ferry between Port Orchard and Bremerton

This is the ferry we rode to visit Bremerton.  It is called a foot ferry because no vehicles are allowed on it.  You park before you board. It has two floors and lots of long benches to sit on.  In nice weather, there are more ornate benches to sit on for a few people in the back of the ferry outside.  (See my bench blog. . .

benches tomorrow )I did not go around to the front outside  but the photo looks like there are some there also.
