Tu-Lips

Spring in the Pacific Northwest can be cruel - everywhere there are flowering trees and daffodils, but the sky is a leaden gray and rain makes nearly every trip down the dock into a sprint.
We stay dry - what with great rain gear, umbrellas, a car, and frequent trips to town to to the big city. We often bring back flowers from the grocery store, and place them in the small vase which is a souvenir of a trip to Finland while the boat was under construction. The odd background is made up of boats and boathouses. Any manifestation of spring is appreciated here.
