| Not
far along the road, a couple of Highland cattle were giving The
Eye to a guy who was repairing their fence. I loved their long and
shaggy pelts. |
|
|
| Here's
the view from our lunch spot - Rosario
Beach near Deception Pass. It's a great place for scuba diving,
but we didn't see any divers today. |
|
|
|
This
carved statue faces the beach. The back of the statue is also
carved.
|
|
|
| Out
in the bay was a rock full of cormorants. |
|
|
Here's
a distant shot of Deception
Pass bridge. It's much more beautiful on a sunny day.
|
|
|
| Now
we are on Whidbey
Island, one of the 3 longest and 4 largest islands in the Continental
United States. This is the Admiralty
Head Lighthouse, in Fort
Casey. |
|
|
| Here
are the remains of the bunkers. Fort Casey was built to guard against
the threat of attack during the 1904 Russo-Japanese War. |
|
|
| Several
of the Disappearing Guns remain. They were built on carriages which
could be raised and lowered so that the guns were exposed only long
enough to fire at the enemy. |
|
|
|
A
White-Crowned Sparrow sang loudly atop a warning sign at the edge
of the bluff.
|
|
|
|
The surrounding
fields were covered with tiny little daisies. This one is about
1/2 inch in diameter.
And with that,
we headed south to Clinton, to take the ferry across to Mukilteo.
Gosh it was nice to get out once again!
