After our hike on that rainy, windy day, we stopped at the shelter of the education center to eat our brown-bagged lunches. We didn't expect a symphony! Rain runoff from the center's roof had been directed into tubes and splashed down onto the drums. The rhythms created a delightful musical accompaniment to our meals.

ReplyDeleteI love these drums. What a lovely idea. I wonder what would happen if I put some drums in my yard in wet Texas?

These are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWe have heat and sun drums where I live. :)
ReplyDeleteThe symphony sounds wonderful! I love the photo of the shed, too, and can picture myself listening from the porch. Thanks for sharing, and here are MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOTS
ReplyDeleteThose water drums were truly a surprise. The website's video says the rhythms are programmed and created by local musicians. Clever!
ReplyDeleteI made the mistake of posting originally on the email notification for your blog. Anyway...the rain drums are wonderful! I didn't know they existed, let alone that they're nearby. You always find such interesting things to focus on from you hikes, and you take great photos.
ReplyDeleteI love your posts! They make me think of Darrington. Keep them coming! And I am so glad that whatever you did to adjust evidently allows me to respond. YAY.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments, Judy and Colleen. I'm thankful that the Auburn Senior Activity Center hosts these wonderful walks and hikes and that I am able to participate. The water drums were delightful.
ReplyDeleteWOW. That must have been a concert! Fantastic idea.
ReplyDeleteHi, Klara. Yes, it was an unusual and fun experience. Thank you for stopping by the blog and leaving a comment.

What a great walk! I am developing quite the list of hiking possibilities from your posts!
ReplyDeleteI am discovering so much about the Puget Sound through you. I love the town of Snoqualmie. I am thinking I need to make a trip up there during the holidays. I am excited my family and I are heading up to Leavenworth for Christmas! Can't wait!
