Weekend Reflections On the Past


These old pilings jut out of the water near the boat launch at Bloedel Donovan park.  In Bellingham's formative years, this was the site of the Blodel Donovan Lumber Mill, the remains of which we are looking at here. Around the same time, Lizzi's family operated the Ed Gooding Shingle Company near Glen Echo.

Skywatch Friday: Something's Brewing


When she's done with the swings we head for our car. The trail is long and her hands are cold so we stop several times while I convince her to keep moving before the rain comes.  During one of these stops a ray of light falls across the field before the clouds settle in.

Old Barn


Weathered to perfection, this old barn sits in a field at Bennett Woodland Farms.

Labyrinth

To celebrate the Winter Solstice this year, my family and lizziviggi's walked the labyrinth at Fairhaven Park in the dark with flashlights and hot chocolate.  This wonderful design was our reward at the center.

Snohomish Sunset

My family spent our Christmas evening in Snohomish, Washington were cousins played, gifts were exchanged, and a yummy dinner was shared.  I did happen to catch the beautiful sky changing colors while I played with my Christmas present, a fantastic new camera!!

Skywatch Friday: Roosevelt Field


When yesterday's spinning exercises were over, we hung around the park long enough to get a few sunset pictures before it was time to go home.
