Veterans: faces in the crowd
It is always sobering to see U.S. military personnel and veterans gathered in one place, as they were Monday for a Veterans Day celebration in Anacortes. Countless stories, most never told from a public stage. Countless lives touched by their service. Pictured here are just a few of those gathered this week at the Veterans […]

Shrooms in the forest
A topic over coffee with friends the other day included mushrooms. So it was Wednesday that my afternoon forest walk included shots of a few fungi, none of which I can identify. Our conversation included the caution that many mushrooms are edible … some are NOT! As in poisonous. Do your homework if your plan […]

Ospreys migrate, hawks remain
These photos were taken at SHIP Preserve near the ferry terminal in Anacortes. The first is a shot I took a few days ago on a search to see if I could find ospreys that I had been told have likely headed south for the winter. I believe this is a hawk situated on a […]
