Cottages in Birch Bay

There are so many cute cottages in Birch Bay, many of them built before it was such a big tourist attraction. We meandered down the street, stopping just about every few feet to get photos of the cottages. Here are some of my favorites.

I love the look of the weathered boards . . .

With a metal crab . . .

Darling cottages in perfect colors . . .

With a big fish . . .



A cute stone cottage . . .

One of my favorites . . .and I love the fence . . .

I love red houses - this one has sheets covering the sofas - so they are still gone for the winter . .



Someone from a farm built this summer cottage . . .

And some one needed a Lotta Rest . . .

This one has seen better days - it was one of my favorites though . . .


This may belong to the Le Hama Jewelry family . . .

Aa good place to spend a leisurely summer day . . .



Lovely . . .







And one cottage named Esther K . . .


Cute sign . . .

And two of the cutest chairs I ever saw!!


Wouldn't you just love to spend a week or two in one of these cabins?

The Beach at Birch Bay

When the tide at Birch Bay is out - it is WAY out. The sun was beginning to set and the water left on the beach formed long lines that reflected the sun. It was an amazing day.

There are always people walking way out on the beach when the tide is out . . .

Way out on the beach . . .

Way way out on the beach . . .

And the clouds are always amazing at Birch Bay . . .

And there are seagulls and ducks floating in the bits of water left on the beach as the tide recedes . . .

Snow? April 14? This is crazy!

I got up this a.m., looked at the neighbor's roof - that is my barometer. It had been cold in the night so I was looking for frost. No frost - roof was clear as could be.

In half an hour - I opened my studio curtains - and this is what I saw. And the neighbor's roof was also covered with snow.

Poor little pansies - I hope they survive . . .

Little bird on a stick is frozen . . .

Inukshuk and driftwood whale . . .

And the fairy dances in the snow!

How is the weather this fine spring day at your house?
