The Marina

I was aboard the walk on ferry to Hat Island to check out some homes but the ferry was broken down. 

I went onto the sunny deck and made a pillow from my sweater and it felt good to encounter an old friend, Sol, shining down on me, I slipped quickly into a  pleasant nap. 

I'm thinking this should become a daily routine. If only the ferry would break down more often, and ole Sol would show up more often. It was blue skies yesterday. 

The marine air and quiet peacefulness of Marina life complemented  the warmth of the sun and I'm not sure how long I slept. 

Soon I was awakened to catch a boat ride to the isle and spent the time there until dusk looking at island homes. 

Sunset appeared as the ferry, finally functioning for the ride back over crossed the water way back to the Marina, and home on the other side. 

A Western Washington Beach

We have had fires all over the state!

One of our rain forests burnt as a matter of fact.

This NW portion of the state hasn't had the fires. I am grateful for that even though we do have some smoke.

MT Baker and Mukilteo Ferry

This is a few blocks from home. 

One of the many ferries. One of the many volcanoes is further away but can be seen from home sweet home. 

( if it's a clear day).,

The ferry runs from Mukilteo to Whidbey Island. 

It's time for a jaunt to the island I think. 

Although their record probably hasn't changed of setting up speed traps in confusing places where speed limits change rapidly in close proximity to one another and per usual Washington has a lot of signage competing with speed limit signs (which are very small). 

Oregon, on the other hand, has clear signage and huge speed limit signs. 

You'd think Washington wants people to get tickets!!

(yes)

Maybe I won't go after all. 

Too bad for merchants on the island that 

Visitors are taken advantage of. 

Maybe the Merchants will pressure the state to modify these signs and policies?

Three Rivers Resort/cabins a nice stay after a troubling Experience at Lake Crescent Lodge, Mothers Day

It's been years since staying at these little cabins.
They're nice though, 2 bedrooms, kitchen area, about 8 miles from Rialto,  I've walked in many times.

La Push at the beach.

THese logs at 2nd Beach near LaPush are so delightful, to see the power of the ocean, and imagine these giants being tossed around.

Somebody left a baseball mitt, a pillow, and some gatorade, maybe they will be back?
