Nearby, a
Song Sparrow filled the air with sound.

Great Blue Herons were
everywhere, mostly up in the air!

Two immature
Bald Eagles sat in a tree right beside the road, watching a man
mow his grass. They hardly moved, until we took one step too many
in our attempts to photograph them.

Here's the
refinery oil pipeline, with a gaggle of herons playing beneath it.

I watched
them for a while, darting in between the trestles.

Blooming Oregon
Grape plants made bright splashes of color here and there.

As for the Tulip
Festival, well, as their website said, 'some' fields are tinged
with color, and that was a good description. This was one of the
few fields which showed any color at all.

Across the road
were some red and yellow tulips, bright against the backdrop of
the snow-spotted hills.

Tim found this vantage point
near Fir Island, on the way home. What a view of Mt Baker!
So home we
went. What did we like best about the day? We agreed that it was
being out in the sunshine again. You can't beat that!
