Samish Overlook

On our way down south for some back-to-school shopping, we stopped at Samish Overlook for a picnic and to see a spectacular view! Actually, it wasn’t really “on our way” – it was off the freeway and up Blanchard Mountain about 5 miles on a dirt road – but it was totally worth the dust, the bumping, and every minute.

Looking south from the parking area. If you can make this picture bigger, you can just barely make out Mt. Ranier in the distance on the right half of the photo.

More south view

Starting to look to the west, but still somewhat south. Are those the Olympics back there?

I wonder what she’s wondering about.

And I wonder what those two are talking about. It can’t be good.

Thanks for taking our photo, Sarah! And thanks Ed for remembering to have our photo taken!!

Looking down at the marsh. This is zoomed all the way back with my zoom lens.

Same shot. Zoomed in. That’s a very sunk boat.

My beauties

She was not happy. She had gotten a scratch and it was bleeding. She was waiting for Daddy to get back from the van with a bandaid.

But she was happy and beautiful!

This child informed me the other night that she knows she is the cutest because everybody always tells her she is the cutest.

Perhaps it’s time to stop.

Ah. Sweetness with light bubbles.
