The BIG tank – 110 gallons, eight foot long – is set up and functioning perfectly. Click on the picture to see a bigger version. It is really looking quite nice, and is the centerpiece of our living room.

As my friends know, things have been a little out of sorts here lately, and I just haven’t felt like taking pictures, just spending a lot of time with Alki while we can. But I’m trying to keep this going, so here’s a frog 🙂

Sometimes I forget how wonderful it is to have a state park right next door. Alki goes nuts when I offer to take her to the park. No wonder! It’s a beautiful, peaceful place. So today we went over after work and had a nice stroll around.

After wandering around the old orchard a bit, we headed down the horse trail, flanked by towering trees on both sides.

We took a shortcut back up to the campground, and ran across this little beauty, deep in the shade of the woods.

What a way to spend a relaxing afternoon. Myabe next time we’ll make it to the lake itself. This park certainly has a lot more to offer than just the water!
