This formation is near the Crystal Forest area of Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona and is known as "The Battleship."

In February, 2020, we were traveling from Carlsbad and the Guadalupe Mountains in New Mexico to the Grand Canyon and drove past the entrance to Petrified Forest National Park. My wife, who loves rocks, wanted to stop. I wanted to get to the Grand Canyon but she prevailed and we spent part of day at Petrified Forest and were glad we had done so. There are petrified trees and parts of trees everywhere in the park. The photos I've posted were taken in the Crystal Forest area of the park and near the headquarters where we hiked the trails through the hills.

We travelled to eastern Washington and back yesterday (Thursday, May 14) and drove through the town of Bridgeport looking for a place to get some lunch. We didn't find any lunch but found this instead. It was along the road in someone's front yard and appeared to have been carved from a dead tree that was still rooted in the ground. Whoever carved it has done a masterful job, both in portraying the salmon and in expressing the essence of their restless, migratory character.

Built in 1909, the Looff Carousel in Spokane's Riverfront Park is on the National Register of Historic Places and features 56 hand-carved wooden animals and two Chinese Dragon Chairs.

This was taken on the shore of Deception Pass near the Deception Pass Bridge. One can walk down to the shore below the bridge though the walk is rather steep. Deception Pass separates the north end of Whidbey Island from Fidalgo Island and is the only way Whidbey Island can be reached without a ferry. It is know for its strong currents. The pass was given its present name by George Vancouver in 1792 who gave it the name because failure to find it had lead him to believe that Whidbey Island was a peninsula. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/06/whidbey-isl...
