Summer is about chalk drawings and humongous sunflowers, so large the trunks have trouble supporting the flower. This flower was over a foot in diameter!

A couple of views from the lighthouse. A kayaker and Queen Anne Hill in the distance.

Located on Beach Drive in West Seattle. One of the last lighthouses on the West Coast to be automated.

Note: My seven year old Macbook Pro expired yesterday. I did most, but not all, of my photo and photoblog work on that machine. Apparently the logic card died and Apple, in the spirit of planned obsolescence, does not supply that part any more. So, I am in the process of deciding what to do next. Since 2008 I have enjoyed doing this blog and don’t want it to end due to some mechanical failure.

The top photo, in background, you can see work being done on the river bank. They are totally cleaning and refurbishing the bank and I believe the area will be some sort of conservancy area when done.
