 A large herd was peacefully grazing in the fields of a big farm on Camano Island.  A second glance told us they were not the usual cows, but a herd of alpacas.  It's a Chilean company who has chosen Camano Island in Washington to raise alpacas. Their story is here.  This is Camano Island State Park. Wouldn't it be a pretty spot to eat lunch? We did anyway, despite the drizzle and winds. (Yeah, we stayed in the car.).  Here's a odd building which turned out to be an Art Gallery called History Of The World Part IV Fine Arts Gallery. I didn't find out much about it until we got home, and I kinda wish we'd gone in. It was just too weird!  A head jutted out from the side of the building.  Strange objects littered the surrounding area, like these two,  and this one, who was standing between two piles of rusty bicycles.  Further down a side road was this magnificent gate across someone's driveway - how totally cool!  We have no clue what it is. It stood at the end of another person's driveway. There was no sign or explanation. It was painstakingly made, beautifully done indeed. The round windows were mirror glass, so you couldn't see in, and there appeared to be an electrical wire running into it at the back (?). Tim thinks it was the attic of an underground house ;-)  And finally, one more shot of some trumpeter swans who seem to be eyeing the approaching snow clouds very warily. They headed off and so did we. |
