Stringtown Road is a little trafficked but interesting drive. It is a loop off the main highway in a rural part of coastal Washington state. At its western entry point there is a driveway by a slough with some nice red rhododendrons which I check in the spring as they open their blooms and then fade away. I am posting a closeup just because the Sony 24 - 240 zoom has nice bokeh and the second to show more blooms and the slough behind the rhodie bushes. This area of the country is very wet and pretty much ideal for rhodies and azaleas.



But the photos - - -

Liking the first shot, second one bugs me that the river is slightly obscured, apologies for criticism!

To pick a nit, the water is a tidal slough. I have a few other of these photos. I chose the blossoms over the slough.
