Discovery New Years

Met a forest Monarch new year’s day in Seattle’s gorgeous, wild, Discovery Park.

We(Sophie and her mens, Sam and I) discovered, rambling about hopefully, searching for the beach trails, that the parking lots are miles away from anywhere that even resembles a trailhead.

We did find an absolutely stunning big leaf maple tree and lots of lovely mossy roots and rocks and finally, a beach stairway that led us to a marvelous beach.

I could have spent all day playing with the sand and clay and stones and driftwood gnarls, but we only had a smidgeon of daylight left, so I threw up a quick trick rock stack

and Sam went for a ride in a giant driftwood starship and we scrambled back up and up and up…

Pics, pics, pics.

Happy new year, all!
