Coastal Flowers

Forry couldn't understand why I would want to take a picture of these thistles! He called them Canada Thistles Cirsium arvense) and said they are definitely in the noxious weed category. We saw many fields on our way to Dungeness Spit that were heavily infested with them along the roadsides.

But, you have to admit, they are pretty!

We saw a lot of this plant along the coastal bluffs as well. It's like sunshine scattered amongst the fog.

Known as Puget Sound Gumweed (Grindella integrifolia), it blooms from May to November --

Today was another quiet day. I did one load of laundry and we took a walk around the RV Park and down the road and back. We watched both the Mariners game (boo!) and some of the Little League World Series games, but never did find a station showing the Washington State team.
