It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Rebecca's in Tenerife (Canary Islands) for the first Global Ophthalmic Women meeting.

Lots of color to be seen - and some very active bees! in our business park.

After a brief traffic stop for a goose crossing, I made my first visit to the Mountaineers Foundation Rhododendron Preserve in Silverdale this Memorial Day weekend. It was a short and pleasantly sunny one-mile hike through old growth forest down to see Big Tree, a Douglas Fir that's about 30-feet around. The rain in the forecast held out until we were about 5 minutes from the car, at which point it really ended up dumping! The path also took us along Chico creek where salmon spawn were swimming in the shallow parts. I was transfixed and took some great videos, but...

Heather snapped these shots in between rain and hail showers. Gotta love Washington beach weather!
