Stepping Back

Stepping back from the image in yesterdays posting you can see the river is more rocks than river due to less runoff from the Olympic Mountains. In 50 years of visiting this area I have never seen the river this low in the summer.

Crossings

First two bridges span the Cedar River ( Renton) and the third is over the Green River (Kent). Bridges and train trestles seem to fascinate me. I should dig through my archives and do a monster bridge posting! :-). Lots of rust and creosote!DSC_2676-001DSC_2724-001 DSC_2776-001

Skagit Valley

Skagit Valley, approx. 70 miles north of Seattle, WA. This particular sequence was shot just east of LaConner, WA. looking northeast. That is Mt. Baker in the distance. The valley is mostly farmland for a variety of crops, including tulips. Tomorrow and perhaps for a couple of more days I am going to post some  images of an abandoned farm I ran across while driving through the valley.
