One of my favorite places to walk with my camera is the loop road at Washington Park in Anacortes. Even on a cloudy day there are amazing possibilities for shooting water, trees and flowers. Ferries slide by in the distance, and sometimes the Olympic Mountains make a brief appearance. It’s a remarkable place.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Do you know the name of the flowers in the second photo?
Yes, those are shooting stars, Dodecatheon pulchellum I think.
