Weekend Reflections: Fairies in the Forest


"Oh my goodness, did you see Starflower's new wings? So last century!"
"I know! What was she thinking? Doesn't she know it's all about pink this season?"
"Well, you look marvelous, dear."
"Thank you, darling. As do you."

Skywatch Friday: Rays of Light


The setting sun shines its light on the beach at South Whidbey Island State Park.

Sun, oh sun, it is so nice to see you again!

Weathered Stone, Weathered Wood


On the beach at South Whidbey Island, someone had decorated a huge old driftwood stump with various shells and stones. I liked the way this stone was placed, its marbled swirls and whorls echoed in the aged lines of wood behind it.

Meerkerk Gardens


This last weekend we went camping at South Whidbey Island State Park. (We lucked out with the weather, as you can see-- apparently it was raining in Bellingham all weekend. Yessss!) Along with the usual camping activities of hiking, beer-drinking, beach combing, fireside storytelling and s'more-making, we visited this magical place called Meerkerk Rhododendron Gardens.  


Meerkerk Gardens is a not-for-profit rhododendron garden, with acres upon acres of beautiful rhodies like these...

...and these!

The Rhododendron is Washington's state flower.
