The blooms on the camellia are all but gone.

Statue of Liberty
We have a statue of liberty in West Seattle along the waterfront, and they have one in Japan too. This one was placed there by the Boy Scouts in 1952 along with the following inscription:
With the faith and courage of their forefathers who made possible the freedom of these United States
THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA
dedicate this copy of the statue of liberty as a pledge of everlasting fidelity and loyalty.
Standup Paddle Boards (SUP)
I always think of kayaks and canoes when I think of the Pacific Northwest but I see more paddleboards than anything else in the cove around Lincoln Park.

Point Robinson Lighthouse
The Robinson Point Lighthouse is located on Maury Island and accessible from Vashon Island. There is a nice public park around it. The original fog horn was installed in 1885, and the current lighthouse in 1915. The tower is a twin of the Alki Point Lighthouse which was built in 1913 and just up the coast on the mainland at West Seattle.
Fauntleroy Cove
Ahh... It was a beautiful day today. This is Fauntleroy from the Vashon Island ferry as it comes into the landing. Our house is about half way up the hill.

More Tulips
I read somewhere that if you wanted people to take notice of your photographs, put red in it.

Skagit Valley Tulips
The cherry trees are beginning to fade but the tulips are coming into full bloom. This is a commercial tulip field in the Skagit Valley North of Seattle.

Lincoln Park Beach
Our local park is Lincoln Park and it follows the beach below our house for a good ways, a bit over a mile. There is a lot of driftwood on this beach, and for that matter it seems most beaches in this area. It may be difficult to tell the scale from this picture but the tree is about 12" (30 cm) in diameter.
