Locust Beach

Pilings peak out of the water at Locust Beach.  

I love living in a city where you can discover new beaches even after living there for 25 years. I first heard of Locust Beach a couple of months back when the newspaper ran an article that the family who owns the beach is in talks with the city to turn it into a park. The family allows public access to the beach, but as it's popularity has increased to the point that additional services are needed they have agreed to sell the property to the city.  

Weekend Reflections: Waiting for the Keystone Ferry

I'm not sure what exactly this is for-- it looks like the ferry officials have repurposed pilings as a sort of watchtower, or maybe a monitoring station of some kind. The seagulls have repurposed the grass growing on top of the pilings to be their nests. So this collection of pilings is not only rather pretty, reflected in the still water off Whidbey Island, but apparently useful too.
