Out and About In Kingston on the Summer Solstice

On the Summer Solstice this year Mother Nature gave us the most incredible whole day of gorgeous summer weather.  The Port of Kingston Marina was fantastic with Mount Rainier shining in the background.  Even the commuters unloading from the ferry were strolling, not hurrying.

This sign in this summer weather probably made golfers long to be on the golf course.  That Kingston Rotary event must have done quite well with a large turnout.  The White Horse Golf Club is beautiful and offers a  free Edmonds/Kingston Golf Shuttle for golfers coming from the other side of Puget Sound.  The Pro Shop is open seven days a week and you can reserve your tee times online.

These beautiful periwinkle colored flowers are in the planter at the Port of Kingston Marina.  Does anyone know what they are?

The  Fishing Pier at Jefferson Beach outside of Kingston was another place to capture the shining Mount Rainier on the solstice.

These flowers seemed to be an exuberant expression of summer.
