driftwood, bird

driftwood at deception pass beach


Back in May, I blogged about the hike my husband and I did near deception pass. We ended up missing the second trailhead and getting lost. We had to cut through berry vines which made the going tough, but we found so many beautiful and interesting sights along the way.

One of these gifts from nature was this driftwood that looks just like a bird. I say seagull; my husband says duck. We brought this seagull-duck home with us. As our apartment has no balcony or yard, this "gift" from the sea sits on our kitchen counter and measures 24 inches in length x 16 height x 5.25 width (61 cm x 41 cm x 13).

bird watching and staying home for the summer

Married Shadows

My husband and I haven't had a T.V. for the last 15 years, maybe more, so we often go to see movies at the Cinema. The last couple of ones that I've enjoyed have been Transformers II and Terminator IV. Two more of my favorites are Slumdog Millionare and Milk. These latter two were well done movies from all angles (acting, script, cinematography). This is us after an afternoon at the movies and eating out. We had just come from Starbucks and were heading to the train station. For more shadow shots and to learn how to join this Meme, please visit Hey Harriet's blog .
