The Clover Island Lighthouse is the newest "lighthouse" in Washington State and the first lighthouse built in the United States since 1962. It was built in 2010 by the Port of Kennewick. It stands 62 feet tall over the Columbia River and functions as a US Coast Guard approved <i>Private Aide to Navigation (PATRON) </i>which flashes a white beacon ever 4 seconds.<br />

Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park is a 7,470-acre park with year-round camping at Wanapum Recreational Area. The park features 27,000-feet of freshwater shoreline on the Wanapum Reservoir on the Columbia River. Petrified wood was discovered in the region in the early 1930s, which led to creation of the park as a national historic preserve. Ginkgo Petrified Forest is a registered national natural landmark. It is regarded as one of the most unusual fossil forests in the world.</div>

FRIDAY, AUGUST 5 - SUNDAY, AUGUST 7, 2016<br />GENESEE PARK/LAKE WASHINGTON<br />FRI/SAT 8 A.M.- 6 P.M., SUN 7:30 A.M.- 6 P.M.</h2>
The Unlimited Hydroplanes return to Seattle for another exciting edition of Seafair. These jet-powered marvels are quicker than ever, and as the competition showed in 2015, it's deck-to-deck competition in virtually every heat of racing. Straightaway speeds now exceed 200 mph!<br />
The technology has enhanced, and with it, the level of competition throughout the field has improved dramatically. For the history buffs, the Allison engines of P38 fame return in the former Gold Cup winning Ed Cooper entry, sponsored in 2015 by HomeStreet Bank. This amazing hull runs speeds equal to the turbines while producing over 3,000 horsepower.<br /><br />Not only is the competition tougher, but the fan experience has been greatly enriched as well. With new apps for virtually every smart phone, live streaming video from the course and cockpit is available to everyone, free of charge.<br /><br />Seattle companies continue to invest in Seafair with 2015 champion Graham Trucking returning to defend their championship while Albert Lee Appliance returns as title sponsor. New boats enter the water for 2016 including the highly anticipated entry of formidable Seattle team owner Greg O'Farrell.<br /><br />Seattle remains the heartbeat of Unlimited Hydroplane racing. Join us August 5-7, 2016 where the fastest race boats in the world compete on the world's most beautiful and competitive racecourse, the famed and treacherous Lake Washington!<br />

The Grand Prix West Hydroplane Association was formed in 2009 and promotes a homogeneous class of hydroplane racing where technology, hulls, engine packages, and drivers are comparable enough to provide close, exciting competition not only at each race but within each heat with no one Team considered the “one to beat”. GPW is an independent “club” of, and will operate in conjunction with, the American Power Boat Association. With the recent Memorandum of Agreement signed with H1 Unlimited, GPW will be racing at most if not all of the H1 events in 2015. Teams from around the country will be participating in events and exhibitions throughout the country so come on out and support the noise!

Tuesday June 16th, 2015<br />
Anacortes, WA<br />
<br />
The orcas had no shortage of energy today as they awoke from their nap and began to put on a show for the ages!!!<br />
<br />
Highlights:<br />
<br />
A large group of deer just outside Cap Sante<br />
Multiple mature bald eagles all around<br />
Harbor seals hauled out in multiple locations<br />
J,K, and Lpod along the western shore of San Juan island<br />
<br />
<br />
Naturalist log<br />
<br />
<br />
As the IE3 left the dock this morning the wildlife started out fast and
furious, with a large group of black tail deer taking advantage of the
low tide this morning. They slowly strolled along the exposed rocky
shoreline looking up occasional at the IE3 as it passed. Two small fawns
followed their mother up in the grassy lawn of an Anacortes home where
they stopped for a rest and the boat was able to get some amazing looks.
Suddenly a mature bald eagle came soaring in overhead making its way
over the trees toward the city of Anacortes!!!!<br />
<br />
As the IE3 exited Guemes channel and entered into Rosario strait a
slight roll began to come in from the south. With that captain Carl
aimed the IE3 west into the heart of the San Juan islands and the
protected waters that lay inside. A Washington state ferry passed by as
the IE3 entered into Thatcher pass and was joined by a turkey vulture
and 2 more bald eagles. This was a good sign and as sea birds like the
rhinoceros auklet and the pigeon guillemot dove deep for their morning
meals guests began to head into the galley to enjoy Eli's good cooking.<br />
<br />
The IE3 made a nice slow up through Pole pass where it got good views at
a great blue heron that was hunting in the now shallow waters off of
Orcas island. The sun was high no, the waters were calm and so the IE3
pushed further west in search of glory. As it got to Battleship island
another eagle was spotted perched in a tree near a large nest!!! Dozens
of harbor seals were also seen just off the port side basking in the
days warm sunny rays!!!!<br />
<br />
Captain Carl continued to drive the IE3 south where it was joined up by a
large group of Kpod whales. At first the whales were spread out but as
the IE3 got on scene the whales grouped tightly together and went into
what seemed like a resting pattern. Multiple fins rising high out of the
water together was certainly a sight to see as you could feel the true
majesty of these animals. The Kpod group was south bound and so was the
IE3 when a large group of whales was spotted ahead and the excitement
began to build!!!!<br />
<br />
Who were these whales and what was going to happen when these groups
met? Well it turned out to be Jpod and at first the two separate groups
were oblivious to each other. Suddenly something triggered a young Jpod
calf to get excited. In the distance a whale spy hopped high above the
water to spot the still south bound Kpod and as soon as it did the fun
had begun!!!! Multiple whales breached and some even began to porpoise
toward Kpod in order to catch them. As this happened a few of the elder
females in the group began to slap their flukes at the surface, trying
to quill the upcoming surge of baby orca energy, but it was too late!!!!<br />
<br />
Soon whales were breaching and spy hopping left and right, and it was
becoming difficult to track where the action would happen next. The
whales were definitely happy to see the IE3 and the magnificent people
who were on board!!!! As the whales neared Lime Kiln lighthouse though
distance was extended due to regulations and agreements with the light
house and park area. That made no difference as the whales continued to
party and to wave goodbye as the IE3 had to depart, but that did not
mean the show was over.<br />
<br />
As the IE3 reached False bay captain Carl spotted another couple of
whales, it was a few members of Lpod out fishing in a very fast flowing
current line!!!! We had some brief looks at these whales as time was
already short from the previous show and once again we departed scene
headed east. The seas had begun to pick up but it meant nothing to the
hardy group onboard the IE3, some folks were even riding out the waves
on the bow and taking the occasional salt bath!!!!<br />
<br />
It was truly an amazing day packed full of wildlife the entire trip, one that won't be soon forgotten!!!!<br />

One of the most popular places in Seattle for gazing at the bloom is at University of Washington's Liberal Arts Quadrangle.
The original grove of Yoshino Cherry trees were planted in the Seattle Washington Arboretum around 1939. Later during construction of the 520 floating bridge 31 Yochina Cherry Trees were transplanted to the University of Washington campus. That makes this grove of white and pink fragrant cherry trees 75 years old. The average lifespan of a Yochina Cherry Tree is between 60 to 100 years.<br />

Lime Kiln Point State Park is located on the western side of San Juan Island. The 36 acres state park features over a mile of trails that wander down to the waters edge and through a grove of pacific madrone tree to the Lime Kiln Lighthouse. Beginning in the 1860s the west side of San Juan Island was quarried for lime stone and a good portion on the island was deforested to feed the fires that transformed limestone into lime, which was then used in construction mortar.<br />
A shoreline viewpoint is about a 10 minute walk from the parking lot. The rocky shoreline plunges to over 900 feet in depth quickly. Through the daily tidal currents from Haro Straight into the Gulf of Georgia nutrients rich waters are pushed up against the island attracting a variety of marine life to congregate just off shore including fish, otters, sea lions, seals, minke whales and orca whales that come to play in the kelp beds and hunt for salmon.<br />
Depending on the time of year Lime Kiln Point is a popular land based whale spotting location.<br />
<br />
Lime Kiln Lighthouse is a 38 foot octagonal building built on a rock cliff 20 feet above the waterline and the fourth-order Fresnel lens was first light in 1919. The lighthouse tower was built atop of a fog signal building. In 1951 the Bonnevile Power Administration laid a submarine power cable from Anacortes, WA to San Juan Island and the Fresnel lens was replaced by a non-rotating electric bulb, and two electric foghorns were installed. The light station became fully automated in 1962.<br />
In 1984 the lighthouse station and grounds were turned over by the United States Coast Guard to Washington State Parks. The USCG still maintains the lighthouse tower as an active aid to marine navigation, but the building is used by the Friends of Lime Kiln Society as an Interpretive Center for Special Events and Tours.<br />

Discover Pass: An Annual Discover Pass or a Day Use fee is required for vehicle access to the park for day use. No over night parking<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Cattle Point Light is a lighthouse on southern tip of San Juan Island in an area known as Cattle Point, in the Haro Straits of Washington. The first navigational aid on Cattle Point was a lens lantern established in 1888. George Jakle, a soldier who had been stationed at American Camp and had remained on the island raising sheep, was paid to maintain the light. Jakle would tend the light each day and fill the lantern's reservoir each week, using kerosene from five-gallon barrels that were offloaded at nearby Griffin Bay every couple of months by a lighthouse tender. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">A radio compass station was established at Cattle Point by the Navy in 1921, and sailors serving there took over maintenance of the light. Using bearings from that stations at Cattle Point, New Dungeness Spit, and Smith Island, ships sailing through the Strait of San Juan de Fuca could pinpoint their location even in dense fog.</span></div>
<div style="color: #252525; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b style="background-color: black; color: white; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></b>The modern 34-foot (10 m), octagonal, concrete tower on Cattle Point was erected in 1935. The lighthouse is located adjacent to the Cattle Point Natural Resources Conservation Area, which is managed by the State Department of Natural Resources, so a Discovery Pass is required for your vehicle. Parking is available near a picnic shelter housed in an old powerhouse, leftover from the Naval Radio Compass Station. Trails lead from the conservation area's shelter to the lighthouse.</span></div>

<br /></div>
Bald eagles were officially declared an endangered species in 1967 in all areas of the United States south of the 40th parallel, under a law that preceded the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Federal and state government agencies, along with private organizations, successfully sought to alert the public about the eagle's plight and to protect its habitat. The 1972 ban on DDT has enabled eagles and other birds of prey to once again begin producing young. Unfortunately, recent extensive human use within preferred eagle habitats has resulted in disturbance and reproductive failure and abandonment of important areas.<br />

In 1994, the bald eagle was reclassified from "endangered" to "threatened" in the lower 48 states. There are currently about 4,500 nesting pairs and 20,000 total eagles in the lower 48 states. Although they have made an encouraging comeback, only public awareness of their situation, strict enforcement of protective laws, preservation of their habitat and support for environmental conservation programs can ensure a successful future for our national symbol.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Bald Eagles are also known as "baseballs" by experienced eagle watchers because from a distance that's what the eagle's white head looks like. It's amazing how an experienced eagle watcher can spot eagles from a distance. When searching for Bald Eagles look for the white "baseballs" in the trees along the river. Eagles can also be spotted taking advantage of the tows churning up stunned fish as they move up and down the river, riding chunks of ice, or kettling (soaring) the thermals in the afternoons.<br />

The 8,000-acre Skagit River Bald Eagle Natural Area is dedicated to habitat protection, conservation and educational efforts. This special area is an example of the Forest Service working with the <a class="offsiteicon" href="http://wdfw.wa.gov/" target="_blank">Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife</a>, The Nature Conservancy and other partners to conserve natural resources along the river.<br />
Bald eagles are seen from late December through early February. During this period the Eagle Watchers Program, sponsored by the Forest Service and North Cascades Institute, provides hosts at designated sites along the river who assist with viewing these magnificent birds. You can also learn more at the annual <a href="http://www.concrete-wa.com/">Upper Skagit Bald Eagle Festival</a> or at the <a href="http://www.skagiteagle.org/">Skagit River Interpretive Center</a>.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>TIPS FOR HEADING OUT AND SPOTTING BALD EAGLES</b></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><b>1.</b> <b>DO</b> plan on arriving early. Bald eagles are most active in the early morning hours. The best time for eagle watching is from sunrise to 11 am when eagles feed along the area’s rivers. In the afternoons they may be seen catching updrafts and soaring ("kettling") overhead. They leave the river in late afternoon to congregate in night roosts in sheltered timber areas nearby.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><b>2.</b> <b>DO </b>keep noises low and movements slow. Winter is a difficult time for eagles. They need to conserve energy to keep warm and flying burns up energy. It is important that they are not startled or frightened into flight. <b>DO</b> obey all signs regarding Eagle Rest Areas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><b>3.</b> <b>DO </b>call a Visitor’s Center to find out if eagles have been spotted and where they are most active. For the Skagit River region call </span>360-853-7626<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">. </span>or visit their website at <a href="http://www.skagiteagle.org/" target="_blank">Skagiteagle.org</a><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><b>4. DO</b> check the weather. Eagles like clear, cold mornings. Eagles will roost on rainy days and will be found soaring on windy days. More eagles will be seen when the rivers are frozen than when the water is clear.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><b>5.</b> <b>DO </b>dress accordingly. Wear layers so you can shed your outer clothing as the day heats up. Bring a hat or earmuffs for your head and gloves or mittens for your hands. Comfortable shoes are recommended.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><b>6.</b> <b>DO </b>bring binoculars or a spotting scope. If using a scope, a tripod is useful. Eagles fly amazingly close to the Great River Road, but even a small pair of binoculars can dramatically enhance your experience.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><b>7.</b> For photographs, keep the sun to your back or to your side and use a telephoto lens.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><b>8.</b> <b>DO </b>be patient. You are more likely to see eagles if you have time to spend.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><b>9</b><span style="font-family: Arial;"><b>. DO</b> observe proper eagle watching etiquette. Many people use the area’s single lane roads to get from here to there as promptly as possible. If you're admiring the view at twenty miles per hour, pull over when someone's behind you. <b>DO </b></span>respect private property. Use public areas along the river and be courteous to local land owners<span style="font-family: Arial;">. <b>DON'T</b> park on narrow highway shoulders. There are many parking areas along the area routes for parking</span></span>. <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><b>DO</b> remember to buckle up. State law enforcement officers vigorously enforce the Click It or Ticket program.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><b>10.</b> The bald eagle is protected by a number of state and federal laws, each with stiff penalties. For example, the Eagle Protection Act, which protects bald and golden eagles, combined with the Criminal Fines Improvement Act of 1987, can cause violators to spend two years in jail or be fined up to $10,000 on a misdemeanor charge. It is illegal to pursue, harm, harass, take or attempt to take, possess, sell, purchase or transport either eagles, eagle pans or their eggs without a permit. If you find a feather, look at it, take a picture, but do not pick it up.</span><br />

The site is one of breathtaking majesty. Situated on Magnolia Bluff overlooking Puget Sound, Discovery Park offers spectacular view of both the Cascade and the Olympic Mountain ranges. The secluded site includes two miles of protected tidal beaches as well as open meadow lands, dramatic sea cliffs, forest groves, active sand dunes, thickets and streams.<br />

The park is at the bottom of Kirkland's north hill and surrounds the northeast shoreline of Lake Washington. Just steps away from Kirkland's Marke Street begins this Urban WIldlife Habitat. The seemless mix of tall trees, green space, wetlands, marsh, and lake water provide protection and large selection of food source to sustain a large variety of animal<br />

It is a few blocks off the main road which makes it hard for passers by to easily stumble up on this waterfront park. Located at the bottom of a hill his park offers nearly 500 feet of waterfront on 2.76 acres of prime waterfront real estate right on Lake Washington. Features public dock, picnic tables, benches, restrooms, children’s playground, open lawn areas, on-site parking, enclosed swimming area, fishing area, and windsurfing area. During the summer months a privately run refreshment stand serves up drinks and ice cream to cool off. <br />

It is one of Washington's most popular scenic attractions, but is perhaps best known internationally for its appearance in the cult television series Twin Peaks. More than 1.5 million visitors come to the Falls every year, where there is a two acre (8,000 m²) park, an observation deck, and a gift shop.<br />

At 12 feet wide, slight grade this trail is popular for walkers, hikers, dogs, cyclists and even riders on horseback with the flanked grassy path running parallel to the trail. The Centennial Trail runs from downtown Snohomish to the north to the Skagit Valley County Line. With future plans to expand and connect it other popular area trails in the north and the south such as Woodinville's Burke-Gilman Trail.
Since 2011 Snohomish County has added 9 miles to the Centennial Trail which runs through the towns of Snohomish, Lake Stevens, Marysville and Arlington as a "Rails to Trails" project repurposing a former Burlington-Norther Railroad line.<br />

It is one of the best places in the Snohomish River Estuary to view waterfowl and shorebirds such as ducks, heron, hawks and bald eagles. If you watch your steps you might see some small and larger mamals such as river otters and deer.
On clear days the snow capped tops of the cascade mountain range and Mount Baker are visible to the east and to the north.
The island is co-owned by Snohomish County and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Snohomish County owns the south half of the island, while WDFW owns the north half.<br />

The park has three back country lakes, Jay Lake, Shaw Lake and Wallace Lake which are connected via the Wallace River. The river trickles, snakes, gurgles and plunges its way through the park until the valley basin.
Some where within the park there has to be a waterfall worth of a title right?
Well there are more than 9 waterfalls in the park. Some small some larger, some are running year round while others only run in late winter/early spring with the snowmelt run off.
The 4 falls that are more easily accessible can be found along the Woody Trail, a 2.3 mile / 3.7 km long dirt trail that is well maintained and well marked. After recent rain fall, the trail might be come very muddy and slippery in spots. There are numerous switch backs and steep inclines that have tall raised steps. At 6'1 I did not have much trouble navigating the steps and switch backs, but those shorter might have more difficulty with the high steps.
2.3 miles may not seem like much, just remember its 2.3 miles each way (5.6 miles round trip) and its up and down hill sides with incremental elevation gains of 500 feet in short distances. Proper footwear and good to better conditioning is required to make it a safe and enjoyable hike. We made Wallace Falls into a mid morning hike and returned to the trailhead in about 3 1/2 hours with stops along the wayPuget Exposurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11545427156664063812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633257187770402081.post-45078338826211969662014-11-24T10:52:00.003-08:002014-11-24T10:52:36.909-08:00No. 298 5 Places to take Dad and the Family to over the Holiday Season If you have Dad or Grandfather in town here are some great places to take him in and around Seattle over the Holidays (other than the shopping malls)<br />

Inside the landmark Hot Shop dome is an amphitheater where you can sit and watch resident and visiting art glass blowers performing their craft live with narration. At the MOG they are making glass blown art, not 4 glass bottles a second, so depending on what the current piece will be the process from start to finish can take 30min to over an hour. I started off in the amphitheater for about 30 min then went to the gallery and came back to see the last phase of making the art piece.<br />

Weyerhaeuser Company opened the Collection in 1989, in conjunction with the Washington State Centennial celebration. The Collection was established to symbolize Weyerhaeuser’s long-term commitments to its customers, its community, and its forest resources. At the end of 2013 the corporation gifted the entire collection to a new non-profit, The George Weyerhaeuser Pacific Rim Bonsai Collection, now known as the Pacific Bonsai Museum.</div>

There are currently about 100 trees in the Collection, about 60 of which are on display in the viewing area, while the others are held in reserve in a “growing area” that is not open to the public. Trees are periodically rotated between the growing area and display area in order to add variety and seasonal interest to the exhibit. Many of the trees are well-known to those familiar with the art, having been featured in books or magazines. Several of the trees have won awards for quality and many are the work of nationally or internationally famous artists. All have been nurtured with care and patience by skilled hands.</div>

<a href="http://pugetexposure.blogspot.com/2013/04/176.html">Flying Heritage Collection's</a> Summer Saturday Fly Days for 2014 continues Saturday August 16th with<br />
"Luftwaffe Day" featuring the collections <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Bf 109, FW 190, and Storch in an areial display around noon. A panel discussion will take place after before the air show at 11am </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Dan Hagedorn, from Museum of Flight, will discuss the North American AT-6 Texan!</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"> </span><br />
<em style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">These maintenance flights are planned activities, but somewhat tentative, based on weather conditions, pilot availability and the mechanical condition of the aircraft. Decisions to cancel Fly Day may not be made until shortly before the flight, so if you have a concern please call FHC prior to your visit.</em><br />
<br />
As of today the long term forecast in the Seattle area is for afternoon showers through Friday afternoon, but should be clear and dry for the weekend.<br />

from air show enthusiasts to those aspiring to be professional
aviation photographers. Simply defined, aviation photography is
the taking photos of airplanes. But behind the scenes of this seemingly simple act are a number of critical elements: aircraft scheduling, lighting, spotting locations, diversions, and sometimes interactions with law enforcement officials. In this guide I will talk about
finding locations suitable for photographing aircraft, the equipment I use, camera settings, basic photographic concepts and techniques and discuss basic aviation knowledge in order for you to improve your photography for years to come.

<span style="color: rgb(20.392160%, 20.392160%, 20.392160%); font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 15.000000pt;">There are 86 pages and 73 images in 8 chapters covering everything from airport layout, camera gear, what to pack, how to find
air shows, where to stand, different camera settings and techniques
to help you improve your aviation photography. </span><br />
