The railroad bridge is up. There must be a boat nearby.
Good morning, Crows.
Pass the heron rookery.
Check out the workers maintaining the dam.
And the tug going through the locks.
Then through the gardens...
Good morning, Geese!
And on to the 44 (a purple electric bus!)...
... to the University of Washington in full bloom.
The North Cascade's glaciers have shrunk 56% between 1900 and 2009.

And the discovery of these 12,000 year old giant ground sloth fossilized bones when the Sea-Tac Airport was being built in 1961.
I was appalled and saddened by the images in this exhibit by photographer, Jan Becket, and artist, Carl F. K. Pao, of the destruction of the island of Kaho'olawe, a small island in the State of Hawaii. Unexploded bombs remain from target practice by the US Government after Pearl Harbor was bombed. This has made restoration of the island's ecosystems difficult, though dedicated people are creating raised bed gardens of native grasses and other plants.
This giant crater was made by exploding TNT.
There were two Tlingit weavers giving a demonstration. Unbelievable work!
And my favorite smiling seal.
Then back toward home for a birthday celebration. The bridge is down. We must be expecting a train soon.
Seven strawberries on a pink lamb cake!
Happy Birthday, Katelyn!
