Simply Living A Life: Civil Wars. Pressing Flowers.

Civil Wars. Pressing Flowers.

A hauntingly, beautiful song, as most of theirs are.

Sorrow and beauty often run hand in hand.

Loss and discovery are closely bound kin.

Love and heartache cannot exist alone.

And so,

The Civil Wars

Pressing Flowers

Point No Point beach and lighthouse

From the northern tip of the Kitsap Peninsula, a low sandspit extends east for over a quarter of a mile into the waters near the junction of Admiralty Inlet and Puget Sound. In 1841, Charles Wilkes of the U.S. Exploring Expedition approached the spit thinking it was a substantial point. On finding that it was much smaller than he had expected, Wilkes designated the spit Point No Point. Previously, Indians had given the point a more descriptive name - Hahd-skus, meaning long nose. The Point No Point Treaty was signed on the spit in 1855 by Territorial Gov. Isaac Stevens and leaders of Chimacum, Skokomish and S'Klallam tribes, ending the Indian wars.
