Around the Sound

I have been doing a little bit of everything lately and it's catch up time!  First of all, a little bit of awwwww.  This little guy was spotted on a ferry ride to the peninsula.

Another ferry ride to the peninsula, unfortunately not any of the dolphins Dave and I saw twice.  We were enjoying the cormorants, some vintage aircraft flying in formation and a blue heron when we noticed some scuba divers crossing the line into the Edmonds Ferry area.  This is a major no-no, so I figured something was wrong.  There were three of them, and one was being towed by another.  The ferry deployed its emergency response raft and took them to shore.  I went and asked what was wrong and the divers were just tired. 

One drive Dave and I did before we went to California was up to Spada lake.  I had never been there, and it was lovely.  An interesting dam, waterfalls around the lake and a lot of places to park and walk around and enjoy.  It is a really large lake!

Adventure Dog gave me a dirty look for taking his picture here.

We also made another trip out to the Spirit Island wetlands area.  Instead of being dead and muddy, the plants were all green and there were flowers. 

And it was still muddy.  Junior stepped through a thick layer of grass and plopped right into a mudhole face first.

Let's zoom in, shall we?  hahahaha!
