Out on an island...

So this weekend, the sun came out and kinda warmed things up. I was able to get out and enjoy a local kite festival in Everett on a little island. Behind me is one of the rare "sandy beaches" in Washington state. Most everything else is covered in rocks and wonderful beach dwelling creatures - like barnacles.

Fireworks on the water

So I left eh exposure on my little
point and shoot open just long enough to get the
whole "blurr" effect. It's hard to tell what's going on here
but if you look closely, all those little multi colored lights
on the water are boat lights. We were just a few hundred feet
from the barge and were having blast (no pun intended).

It truly was an awesome evening!

Home Sweet Home

Within the first month of being home,
I had the opportunity to get up to Wallace Falls
just an hour or so away from where I'm staying.
It was an amazing hike and with the snow level
just a few hundred feet above us, it was quite chilly
as well!
