Eroding banks

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.

More rhodys

This rhododendron is still blooming at Fort Worden.

For Cee’s Flower of the Day.

And the rhododendrons are 8-12 feet high but are dwarfed by the trees.
