It was a fun day down in Edmonds by the Bay. Stunningly beautiful with plenty of sunshine: a perfect day to be outside, with the Saturday Farmer’s Market, the Edmonds Arts Festival and extreme low-tide.
I’ve been dealing, lately, with some foot pain, and my back’s been bugging me, which drug my attitude down some. But it’s hard to be too grumpy when it’s a beautiful, sunny day spent with family and friends.
Highlights:
- Grabbed groceries and lunch from the Edmonds Farmer’s Market. Today was the first day with the big/full market.
- Ran into the Bald Fish Guy at Edmonds’ Olympic Beach Visitor Station. I love watching all the folks checking out the touch tank! Oh, he told me there’s a new edition of his podcast, Aquacast,coming out soon. Make sure you check that out.
- Wandered along the beach from Olympic to Brackett’s Landing, checking out the tide-pools and marine life during our extreme low-tide. You can go tomorrow, too, if you missed today. Or if you just love this! Here’s a tide chart with details.
- I know it’s kinda silly, but I am very fond of the Edmonds Beach Temperature taker dude (No shirt? No shoes? No problem!). Bill Lindsay is a fascinating guy to talk with. Though I didn’t chat with him today, I have in the past.
- It’s the Edmonds Arts Festival. Wandered through checking out art, some of the student artists are friends with my son, which is fun. I delight in these person connections. We also had some ideas while exploring the photography exhibit, that we’re looking forward to exploring. It will be going on tomorrow as well.
It was lovely, and I am tired. I took plenty of photos, which I’ll upload tomorrow. Here is my favorite.
I was sitting by this bush with flowers the bees adored. After taking around a dozen photos with my Olympus, but the autofocus hated this. The breeze was bouncing the flowers and the bees were, well, being bees. I gave up on the good camera, pulled out my Samsung S7 and was able to grab this one. I did need to zoom in and crop a bit. A lot of work for this one.
