Yesterday Barbara and I traveled back to Spokane to the site of the 1974 Worlds Fair, Riverfront park. Do they even do world fairs anymore? This is a nice park with a lot to do for the entire family. When we arrived the first thing we did was take the aerial tram to get aContinue reading “Riverfront Park”

Barbara and I have been staying at the Little Diamond RV park for a week now and have really enjoyed ourselves. I have hiked around the Little Diamond lake three times and I was able to take my paddleboard out yesterday to enjoy the view from the water. It’s a nice three mile hike fromContinue reading “Little Diamond”

Recently I have been doing a lot of thinking about my life and my many blessings now and over the years. At the age of 64 most people would be looking for ways to slow down, but not me. Not many people my age would have asked for a paddleboard for their birthday to takeContinue reading “Blessings”

This past Wednesday Barbara and I traveled from the Washington coast at Birch Bay to Crescent Bar on the Columbia River in east central Washington. This area has a real interesting geologic history, but I’ll leave that for another day. That evening I strolled down to the river’s edge to capture an amazing sunset. TakeContinue reading “Crescent Bar”

On Tuesday as Barbara and I traveled the Mount Baker Scenic Highway we made a couple of stops along the way. On the way to Mount Baker we stopped at Nooksack Falls on the Nooksack River.

Also here is 9,127 foot tall Mount Shuksan to the east. Mount Shuksan is not a Cascade volcanoContinue reading “Mount Baker”

People come out to enjoy the sunset, the water, live music and fires on the beach. There were several fires on the beach, I could hear music behind me while IContinue reading “Birch Bay Sunset”

On August 11th, Barbara and I moved north to Birch Bay, Washington. Currently, we are only about five miles from the Canadian border. In fact a lot of the over the air TV stations we get are from Canada. Until yesterday I haven’t been able to get out and take any photos. We have hadContinue reading “Birch Bay”

Last evening I hiked down to the shoreline in hopes of catching another colorful sunset. However, last evenings sunset didn’t live up to expectations. I did however have an enjoyable evening with the local wildlife. While I was taking photos of the sunset I noticed just off shore there was a sealion closely watching me.Continue reading “Creating Composition”

This morning I took a walk along the shoreline during low tide. As I walked I was enjoying watching crabs walking along the sea floor looking for their next meal. I explored the tide pools with their abundant sea life. I watched a couple paddle their kayaks across the quiet bay. Afterwards I took aContinue reading “Connecting with Nature”
