I wasn't the last person on the ferry, but I was far enough back that I got to park on the steepest part of the ramp. I spent most of the ride in the car--it felt like I was taking off, which made me nervous . 

I got very dirty. 

I worked so hard even my liver got worn out! Ha ha, no, just wet gloves. 

Dogwood is also *covered* with moss and lichen. Really, it's like it's in a time warp that allows these slow-growers to take over the world. I picked off a lot of the moss. 

Dogwood, looking a little challenged. Blooms never came out, just these rather stunted leaves. 

Beauty bush, gettin' beautiful 

And then it got dry and sunny. 

It was really, really wet. 

Beautiful Blooms
