Instruments I made at the beach, From kelp, Rialto Beach near Forks,WA




I made these horns, or flutes from sea kelp on the beach at Rialto Beach.
I decided to tie them together to get different sounds. I also filled the bulbous ends with sea sand to make a rattle.
I have already been offered money for a single rattle flute
These I call medusa flutes

Buy one now before The Metropolitan Museum gets wind of these, and 
believe me, they carry on the wind. A bit fishy smelling  :)

A Piece Of Washington Sky

Taken at Lake Crescent
The clouds move around here swirling and diving, fading, and growing.
It's amazing to watch.

Mukilteo isn't a destination point, altho I arrived here about 16 years ago. 
Mukilteo was a gathering place for the local natives, the name means neck of the goose.
 The ferry departs every 30 minutes for Whidbey Island and  therefore it is a starting place, a holding line as it were for many adventures in nature.
 On Whidbey you can take another ferry that goes to the Olympic Peninsula, and also another that takes you to Victoria BC. Another ferry will take you to Seattle from the Peninsula.
From Whidbey Island you can drive south to Deception Pass and La Conner, Mt Baker and The North Cascades.
I guess this is what Mukilteo has been to me, a starting place to explore the region. 
Hop on,  I'll take you on my tour!

Being Mukilteo is very small, I won't be including much about the place but the places it can take you instead.
