I looked for a photo challenge to share my seagull pictures but came up short – I decided to share them anyway. Seagulls, like crows, get no respect. I like them, but then I like crows too. According to Wikipedia, “Gulls are resourceful, inquisitive,… Continue Reading “Seagulls – Just Because”
Did you get the title? If not, you’re too young and that’s okay too! You can tell me in the comments. 😉 Yesterday on the first day of fall in between days of rain which is our new normal, we had a wonderful sunshiny… Continue Reading “Happy Together from the Turtles of Coulon”
Today the sky is heavy with smoke and the air quality is poor due to the wildfires. So I wondered – should I share pictures of today’s sky? Or last week’s pictures of hummingbirds? I opted for both and hoped the latter would cheer… Continue Reading “Heavy Sky and Hummingbirds to Cheer”
It had been a long time since we’d bicycled the Sammamish River Trail. It was one of our favorites when we lived in North Seattle, but after our move south we found new trails to ride. But yesterday was perfect for a bicycle ride… Continue Reading “Bicycling the Sammamish River Trail”

Earlier this week I walked along the Cedar River… Continue Reading “Cloudy Skies and The Summer that Wasn’t”
I have to admit we live in a beautiful part of the country. So even though our travel has been limited by the pandemic we’re still able to visit many scenic destinations nearby. Recently that meant a drive on the Chinook Scenic Byway. They… Continue Reading “Come along for a Drive on the Chinook Scenic Byway”
Last month, in the middle of a rainy spring, we took advantage of a sunny day and headed to Whidbey Island for a first time visit to Ebey’s Landing. Don’t get me wrong – we’ve been to Washington’s largest island many times before. In… Continue Reading “Ebey’s Landing on Whidbey Island”
