Blue herons hanging out and flying in the marsh area:
We ate lunch in Edmonds at Chanterelle's, a very nice spot just off the tournabout on Main St. Grilled pesto chicken sandwich for me. Very good! A bagel with lox, red onion, tomato, and capers for hub. After lunch, I got a latte "to go" and discovered yet another coffee roaster: Tony's of Bellingham, WA. It was great! We stopped off near home at the Kenmore Logboom park to see if the cormorants were out. They were there in full force taking over on Lake Washington. Apparently only for a few months out of the year.
So many of my friends are in extremely cold temps in other parts of the nation. They should all come out West and join us!

Great pictures. I always like to see pictures of the ferries, the Sound and the Olympics.
Thanks, Knitterbeader. We are fortunate to be close by to such natural beauty. It really is prettier than pictures,....
What a fantastic day! We saw a lot of cormorants at the Juanita Bay wetland park a few days after Christmas.
A really fun little trip is to take the ferry across to Kingston then drive to Port Gamble. The general store there has a seashell museum on the upper level that is amazing. It is worth the drive just for a look at it and for a fun lunch there. I think there is even a yarn shop in town.
Your blog is an inspiration!
PS: what knitting did you take along in the car?
What great day trip. Now I know what a blue heron looks like. What beautiful creatures!
Sandee, thanks for the excursion idea. Sounds fun! We might do Poulsbo this weekend and check out the yarn shops there. Thank you! I didn't need to take any yarn for this trip was a few min's away! :) Hi Bea, yep that is a blue heron!
I love blue herons -- as long as they are far away from the koi! Great picture of the one landing; magnificent wings. Glad you had the chance to get out and enjoy such beautiful local scenery!
