Mukilteo Village and Lighthouse|beach ferry

    A nice sunset 

   The ferry

The village and lighthouse/ beach area  below a colorful sunset. Touch of pink. 

 

Mostly the Hosta Garden, peonies finishing, foxgloves blooming, shells and glass from the latest beach walk, and MT Baker., kids playground.

               MT Baker in distance a white cone of ice. Volcano. 

It’s a stratovolcano like St. Helen’s, also in WA along with Adams, Rainier etc. 

Active volcanoes. From the ferry it’s possible to see two at once. Of course flying in it’s possible to see all 5 ! 

The volcanoes are amazing. Rainier was much taller before the last eruption. 

Rose first bloom on this scented one. 

                      Peonies still blooming but on their way out. Summer is coming in although in this area July is sunny. And August. Not June. Basically we are an overcast drizzly environment. It’s temperate as a result and green and beautiful. 

                      Below foxglove. Used to make digitalis a heart treatment a poisonous flower. They grow wild here as well. 

                         Hydrangeas 

                       Hostas 

                     Playground equipment. A boat. 

    

 

Beaches and Berries Blossoms

 

Saratoga Passage

 

A brief history of time. Plus petals of peonies. Saved for posterity.

Above. Back at the farm house with Daisy, Yumiko and friends.  Below petals stored in small glass jars and huge porcelain jars. 

Some things never change. 

I am willing to sell my two Chinese porcelain jars. Rather expensive plus petals for a total of 3,595.00. Two large jars. 

Perfect for a most important wedding.
