Sharpe park was where our feet found themselves today. We hiked the beautiful trails, enjoyed the Madrona, the views out over the water and at our feet.
At the start of the trail is a nice seated area with a central focus feature.
I took a photo of the plaque on the stone pedestal.
The inscription reads:
"In every outthrust headland,
in every curving beach,
in every grain of sand
there is the story
of the earth:
~Rachel Carson
A stump covered with Turkey tail
Mushrooms on a mossy tree
Old Douglas fir tree with deep grooves in it's bark.
Still some fall colored leaves clinging to the trees.
A Madrona bark curling.
Madrona along the trail.
A quiet place to sit and relax.
Aptly named trail.
We made our way down and up the Sunburst trail.
As we walked along I heard an
Eagle and saw it sitting on a branch.
We took a break at Sares head and enjoyed the peacefulness of the area and the view of the calm waters out in front of us.
Check out the view in the video:
I always love when I pass by a sea of ferns.
Lichen on a tree.
Witches butter
More mushrooms in the moss.
I realized as I went along that I was enjoying the views close at hand as much as the view we had at Sares head.
Just a 2 mile hike
418 feet ascent
"I believe there is a subtle magnetism in Nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright." ~Henry David Thoreau
