Old Sauk River Trail

We hiked a new (to us) trail on Friday.
It was lovely--very green, with beautiful ferns and wildflowers, along the Sauk River.

Iris in bloom

We're having a heat wave, so these lovely blossoms are only lasting one day. They are spectacular though.

In the Methow

Introducing Oscar to my Favorite Places

Annelle took our picture enroute to Newhalem Creek, one of my favorite places in the park.

Tulips!!!

Skagit Spring Tulips

Annelle bought the most tulips!

And I really enjoyed this lovely field of RED tulips.

Though close-ups of these pink ones were quite a thrill.

Traveling home

Enroute home we went through SF and crossed the Golden Gate Bridge.
Lin says this picture just had to be taken, how many times were we going to have Oscar with the bridge in the background?











We had trouble finding beaches that were dog friendly. This one was in Capitola, where Lin's niece, Wendy lives.

We bought two bags of artichokes at Pezzini Farms in Castroville.
My goodness were they ever delicious. It turns out we had stopped at that exact farm
many years ago with Erin and Alison. Lin has the tee shirt to prove it.
