Spring at Ebey Landing

 After all of the rain we had Thursday, I was ready for a hike hopefully in the sunshine. 
Yesterday we headed to Ebey Landing for the day and we weren't dissapointed. Another plus of the day was that there were very few people on the trail, which is rare. We like to start on the Pratt loop trail and head to the bluff trail from there.

Pretty purple blooms

I always love this view

More spring blooms

Yes, I'm happy to be at Ebey Landing on a sunny day

New fir growth

My husband with our dog Scoutina, patiently waiting for me at where the trail begins it's descent to the beach


We stopped at the beach for our lunch break.


The clouds were beautiful

We walked the beach back to the State park parking lot. Scoutina did all the usual dog/beach activities as we made our way along: digging holes, chewing on sticks, dragging kelp through the water, eating seaweed, carrying dead fish heads in her mouth (yuck) and running in and out of the surf❤️

Then we made our way back up to the Pratt loop trail 

New spring cones

Every child's favorite flower

Stop and make your wish, then blow the fairies into the air.
Always hoping the wish will come true

Total miles walked: 6.4
Total ascent: 445 feet
