Sand sculptures at Edmonds beach

The annual sand-sculpting contest sponsored by the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce Foundation brought out local talent to create art in the sand.

There were adult and child categories - but Lee Lageschulte reviewed the entries and picked out her favorites.

Mermaids are always popular

Fortifications

If there were a Charm category, the next two would be top contenders.

Not sure about the first one but this has got to be a hippo.

No matter who won and who didn't, it was a lovely day to play in the sand at the beach.
