Peace of the Sky

This playground equipment frames the beautiful late summer sky.  September has graced us with a little more summer, but you can sure feel that chill of fall in the mornings and evenings.

A perfect summer day at Northern Heights Elementary playground.

School's Out

A view from the monkey bars at Northern Heights Elementary. School is finally out here in Bellingham; close to a week had been added because of snow days in January. My family is excited because many new playgrounds just became available for our summer play.

Geneva Elementary

Sun shines on this wet playground.  Will we ever get enough to dry all the way out?  I sure hope so soon.

Skywatch Friday: Turbine

This massive turbine from the Rocky Reach Dam was on display near the playground.

 

What is it?

While the kids were occupied on the playground, I wandered around the edge of the park and stumbled upon a shrub covered in these brilliant orange bursts. I can't remember seeing a plant like this in our area before and I'm curious what it is.  Any ideas?

Swinging

Wheeeeee!!!

Fast, Faster, Fastest

under the slide

the way it undulates

as someone slides down

and pretends she's a mermaid
