🐦 Kingfishers, seagulls, and water.💖⁠
⁠
🤷🏻‍♀️ Just some miscellaneous posts from Dosewallips and Sequim Bay State Parks. Not the best pics, but I like them.⁠
⁠
😝 That seagull. Dang! I tried so hard to get ahead of it before it flew out of range. That was the best I got. 😉⁠

🌿Pickleweed or American Glasswort.⁠
⁠
🤓The name Glasswort is because the burned plant was high in soda ash and potash, which was used for making glass. ⁠
⁠
😋Pickleweed is edible, cooked or raw, though it's very salty. Some people lump these in with 'sea beans' and others call it 'sea asparagus'. Either way, it's Salicornia (virginica and pacifica are both edible.)⁠
⁠
(Disclaimers: Only wild harvest responsibly, safely, and sustainably. Send me a DM if you want info.)

😍Something cheery for you today! ⁠
⁠
🌻Just a sunflower from a friend's yard...⁠
⁠
🌞😁It sure brightens your day, though. Doesn't it?

😧Smack!⁠
⁠
🍌Sequim Bay beach is seriously slippery with clay and lots of seaweed, and I went down hard. Had a nice bruise on my knee for a bit, but arnica took care of most of it. ⁠
⁠
❤️Otherwise, it's a beautiful place to explore. ⁠

😊After yesterday's heavier post, I thought I'd post something fun. ⁠
⁠
🐕A couple of weeks ago, we visited Shine Tidelands State Park near Port Ludlow and had some fun watching some dogs retrieve sticks their family threw. ⁠
⁠
💝Enjoy!⁠
