Most often I am drawn to the garden when I walk through the living room and see activity out of the corner of my eye. Yesterday I had a great time, as the sun was beginning to drop and the light on bushes and plants was strong. I discovered three or four lady bugs on a bush near the stairs, and discovered a couple of pretty little blossoms I hadn’t seen before (violet one’s a Vinca). Our heather bush was alive with activity, a dozen or so bees moving in and out among the blossoms, seemingly oblivious to the camera lens.
A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
