Years ago I satisfied my desires for macro photography by purchasing a set of three lenses for my 35 mm Minolta. Today, with a digital camera, I simply press a button on the side of the lens to “go macro.” I worked my way around the yard with the lens Sunday, moving from lily to rose bush to iris, to rhododendron bush. The roses are just starting to bloom, with the best to come in late summer. We’re eager to see how a few of our plants respond to being relocated in recent weeks. Initial signs are positive.
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.
