A completed portion of the trail at Northen State Recreation Area near Sedro Woolley in Skagit County
We had rain on and off, so things are wet.
Works large.
This is the pumping station at the south side of White Rock Lake in Dallas. Constructed in 1911 it began supplying water to the city in 1913. You can read more about White Rock Lake here.

Our local mountains had their first snowfall of the season. I managed to escape work for the afternoon and visited Seymour.
The ski runs only have a foot of snow. Above them, I followed the regular trail until Pump Peak. Here I wandered around in the fresh stuff. No snowshoes, but only sinking up to my knees in the deeper spots.
During the winter these trees are thick with snow and ice. It was a nice variation to have them only mostly covered. A happy hour was spent making the only footsteps and trying out different compositions. The sweet late-afternoon light was a pleasant bonus! I can relate to children who enjoy playing in the same school playground day after day. Roaming Seymour in the winter never gets boring for me. It's my outdoor amusement park.
I found this building whilst scrabbling around in Crowgutter Woods. Not sure it's even a pump house! It contains some pipes and valves. That's the best way to describe it really!
Henry Curry built the Grade II-listed Pump Room for the 7th Duke of Devonshire in 1894 due to overcrowding at the previous well in the Natural Baths. It was last used to “take the waters” in the 1970s.
The Pump Room now houses the Buxton visitor centre.
A Brown Thrasher pumps its tail a few times in its favourite foraging area. A very striking looking bird.
She's been a bad girl
She's like a chemical
Though you try to stop it
She's like a narcotic
You wanna torture her
You wanna talk to her
All the things you bought for her
Putting up your temperature
Pump it up
Until you can feel it
Pump it up
When you don't really need it
Out in the fashion show
Down in the bargain bin
You put your passion out
Under the pressure pin
Fall into submission
Hit-and-run transmission
No use wishing now
For any other sin
I took this photo last January, but always hoped for a better shot, with better light. Sadly, this is a shot that can no longer be taken due to the horrible wire fence in front of it.
