Sunday

After a couple months' absence, the deer are back with the babies. Well, I've only seen this one, but she sure is cute!

There were four adults with her - these three, and a nice-sized spike, who was much more cautious.

I take a picture of this plant in my garden every year, and I never remember what it is called! Here it is glowing in the early morning sun, casting shadows on it's reddish-brown leaves.

Cathi and I decided to take a sunset hike at Deception Pass. We were early, so we spent some time on the beach, taking the requisite shot of the bridge.

Up on top of Goose Rock, we are now expected to "Respect the meadows!" They are indeed lovely, with many wildflowers blooming: Harvest Brodiaea, above, Nodding Onions, Rock Sedum, Hawkweed, to name a few.

Snacking with a view.

Cathi and Tui.

The sun starting to set.

Me above Cranberry Lake and the Naval Air Station.

The sun setting behind the San Juan Islands as a boat motors through the reflection.

Cory and Cara had a few friends over to, what else, blow up watermelons. Cory scooped out some of the insides - just enough to fit the sparkler bomb in.

Going . . . . .going . . . .

. . . . GONE!

Went to a little BBQ at Terry's before the fireworks - Caveman and Terry and some of the others played and picked and sang!

Our view of the barge before the show began.

Some of the fireworks. I had my camera set wrong, so it is a bit out of focus! But lots of pretty colors and big booms!

Still getting pretty warm during the day, and this is Apollo's other favorite spot once it gets in the shade. This was taken around sunset, and he had been swinging there for a couple of hours. I usually join him!
