Admiralty Head Lighthouse

This light and Fort Casey's big guns stood watch over the entrance to Puget Sound for decades. Today they watch over a breath-taking view of the Olympic mountains, Port Townsend ferry, shipping lanes, and even the ocassional Orca whales.
Built in 1861 and rebuilt in 1903, the lighthouse guided tall ships toward the Whidbey Island shore where they could fill their sails with wind. It was the last brick lighthouse designed by renowned German architect Carl Leick - its walls 18 inches thick to withstand the earthquakes that shake western Washington.

red barn for barn charm

My computer still isn't working right and I wanted to post a Barn Charm pic for Tricia's meme so I went to my friends house and we drove down to some barns and took pics with his camera and went back to his house to upload the photos so I could post today.  YAY--it worked.

A shrouded waterfall

This beautiful waterfall up in the hills of the North Cascades was partially hidden by the low hanging clouds.  Still pretty though.  MB

Coupeville Blockhouse

This is a blockhouse on Whidbey Island in Coupeville.  This one was first built as a cabin and turned into a blockhouse into 1855.   It was restored in 1930 by The Ladies of the Round Table to honor of The Pioneer Mothers.


The headstone is beside the Blockhouse although I do not believe there is any significance in that.

The language is Irish Gaelic/Celtic-----I think.


There are 4 blockhouses in Coupeville.  I know where 3 are---where is the 4th?

Washington Pass

These pictures were taken near Washington Pass (elevation 5477ft/1669m) in the North Cascades about 2hrs from my house.

My computer is still down and out so I am using my friend's computer.  This picture was taken Monday June 13th

Nooksack Falls

So I managed to finally access my computer (it is a server problem) but now blogger will let me upload only one picture.

This is Nooksack Falls and the picture does not do it justice.  The water falls about 100 ft in to the Nooksack River.  The Falls was featured in the movie 'The Deer Hunter'.  The roar is magnificent.  MB

RATS!!

I cannot access my computer so I can't respond to anyone.  I will fix the problem.  I am on another computer just to do this.  My famous almost last words to paraphrase General MacArthur-----MB shall return.

North Fork Nooksack River

This is the backside of Nooksack Falls.  I will post The Falls tomorrow.  Look at the gorgeous forest.

Beautiful river and beautiful woods.

Splish Splash........

This little guy was really enjoying his bath.

Finding Mt. Baker

 Yesterday, Monday, my friend and I went in Search of Mt. Baker.  Well, here is his Jeep and here is how deep the snow is.

 And here is where we could go no further----the snow covered the road seemingly forever. See the stop sign amd the mound of snow?   The road may be opened in July.

Remember when I posted a picture of Mt. Shuksan reflected in Picture Lake?  Well here is the mountain but the lake is under 20 feet of snow.

Marengo babies

For some reason I haven't been able to post anything here but all of a sudden it worked so i am not going to say another word.....................

Blue sky and an Indian Chief~~~~~~~Sky Watch

Tuesday was a nice and mostly sunny day. A wonderful blue sky with some nice white clouds.    This is the NEW ferryboat Chetzemoka (named after an important Indian chief) crossing the bay from Keystone on Whidbey Island to Port Townsend on the peninsula.
