My Everyday Photos

Last weekend Sky and I went to an agility trial at Mount Vernon, just across the Cascades from here. We stayed in the little camper at the venue and had a terrific time. Sky was impressive with her drive and enthusiasm for the courses and she even managed to get one qualifying run out of thirteen chances! We need to spend more time training but this is a process and it’s great fun for both of us.

In addition to the trial we got to spend time with an old friend and her dogs. Theresa took us to a couple of places for walks in the evening. We liked getting away from the venue and enjoyed some leash-free time. These images are from a low tide walk near the mouth of the Skagit River. While the dogs played I got to enjoy looking at some interesting plants and I watched for birds too. It was a nice break.

Pure happiness

Look! I found a stick!

Uh oh, I lost my stick.

Rex, can you help me find my stick?

Nope.

Here comes Becca!

It’s always good to be around someone else that loves dogs so much.

Camassica quamash. I didn’t know it grew along the coastal areas.

An interesting lichen

DYC. Darned yellow composite

Serviceberry. Another surprise for me to find growing there.

Can’t someone throw something?

Oh look! I found another stick!

There were Bald Eagles standing out on those exposed mud flats in the distance

She says, this isn’t my pack

Ahhhh.

At some point, I’ll figure out how to get Sky’s videos uploaded and posted to the blog.
