Mount Baker, seen from Marrowstone Island this week.
The tide was not out very far and was coming in, but an agate showed up anyhow.
A closer look.
Conferences in the wild.
Sections of cliff melting into the beach stones.
Gifts from the sea.

I went downtown yesterday morning to pay a bill and a ship was coming right in on its way to Indian Island. It felt like it was right there, by the crane, which was already working. I grabbed my camera and hurried out.
A second side by side, the boats accompanying it.
And lastly two grebes, side by side in a mass float. They look pretty unconcerned about people and ships.
May we peace each other today and every day.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: side by side.
I wonder if the seals like the peaks? They do love the sun.

Container ships are huge close up.
Mount Baker is also huge and bigger than the the ships.
But the sea wins. The sea is vast and suddenly the container ships and the mountain are small.
Stars are vast too, and dwarf the seas.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: vast.
The seals look static on their distant rock, until I zoom in, stabilize on a rock, and get a movie. The tide is moving fast! There is lots of motion and the seals are alert and paying attention!
Are the seals placid? It’s hard to tell, since I am really far away on the beach, with a Panasonic DMZ-FZ150. It has a 24X optical zoom. The seals are way out in Puget Sound. I can hear them when they roar. They really like the sun and this island is gone when the tide is in.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: placid.
This was taken earlier on my walk out on Marrowstone Island than the photograph for the Ragtag Daily Prompt today. The tide was out further and everyone was enjoying the sun. Relaxed core and relaxing to the core.
The tide is in a bit more here.
The container ships look so huge when I am next to them. They don’t on the Sound, though. What do the seals think?
We are having wet cool cloudy dark days and then bright blue sunny but still fairly cool days. I took this on a beach walk last week at the top of the stairs at Fort Worden. Gorgeous!
For Cee’s Flower of the Day.
One tree down, holding on and not dead yet. Some of our winter tides are really high, and that tree will go. Which on will fall next?
The sun was in and out, but I found this agate. Washed down from those banks?
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: bank.
