They're
quite a sight, these rows of daffodils stretching as far as the
eye can see.
In a month or so, the nearby fields will be ablaze with endless
rows of tulips. |

From time to
time we saw workers harvesting the crop and later, the bulbs will
be harvested as well.

Now
it was lunchtime so we stopped at Deception Pass State Park. This
is a view from the West Beach, looking across at some of the San
Juan Islands. Usually you can see the Olympic Mountains but it was
too hazy today. |

A little sparrow
chipped away at us from some bushes.
Sparrows frustrate me because they are small and all look alike
;-) I think this one might be a fox sparrow.
I dunno.

A
rufous sided towhee was checking out the garbage cans near our picnic
table. |

After
lunch we drove back to the bridge over Deception Pass.
"The name 'Deception Pass' is derived from Captain Vancouver's
realization that what he had mistaken for a peninsula was actually
an island. The captain named the inlet at which he was anchored
to commemorate the error."
