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.

Mt Shasta
On a trip recently to CA, Oroville, via Asheville where I found a charming place to stay to attend The Shakespeare Festivals there. I think I have more to post on this trip. I'm behind I guess.

This weekends trip to lake Crescent Lodge
A pretty day has been rare this year, I love this day with clouds and a ship.
Lake Crescent is the place where Roosevelt signed The Olympic Nat'l Park into being.
It's 9.5 miles long, and depth unknown, probably 1200 to 1500' deep.
It's pristine and turquoise when The sun shines and skies are blue. You can rent a kayak here, and paddle, or a canoe, or row boat.
Grounds are like a rain forest, large trees dripping in moss.
And theres a lovely veranda/ sunporch, to view the lake from while having a Great burger, and a drink.
Or coffee in the morning.
You also have the restaurant and lodge to enjoy. I highly recommend this place!
