Colorful holdouts
A flash of color caught my eye as I ventured out in the early afternoon sun. I was soon on a search for colorful garden holdouts … vibrant “spring” colors with Thanksgiving just a few days away!
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 […]

Beginning Tuesday, Nov. 12 through Sunday, Dec. 8, international service between Anacortes, Friday Harbor and Sidney, B.C. is canceled due to required maintenance on both vessels in Washington State Ferries’ fleet certified to run international service to and from Sidney, B.C.

Tree planting a family affair
Among dozens of volunteers who took part in a Saturday habitat enhancement project were a number of Anacortes families and youth organizations. An estimated 1,300 trees were planted October 19 on Shell Puget Sound Refinery property near the Padilla Bay shoreline. Included on the volunteer team of planters were local families as well as representatives […]
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 […]
Rosario wildlife
What a pleasure it was Friday afternoon to spend some time with a few “residents” of the Rosario Beach neighborhood. From bunnies to butterflies, seals to seagulls, I enjoyed the opportunity to share some time with these creatures as they went about the routine business of their day.
Under wraps
Curiosity finally got the best of me, so I took a little Saturday hike on Pass Island to photograph work on Deception Pass Bridge. Currently under wraps is Canoe Bridge, the smaller of the two spans connecting Fidalgo and Whidbey islands. Photos here include shots from Pass Island, including some coiled cable and hanging links […]

Dropping in on a friend
Maybe this “friendship” runs deeper, as bald eagles are known to mate for life. It was exciting to spot the first eagle, then to hear the cries of No. 2 as he/she approached from trees across the road. Camera up, landing sequence recorded. Always impressive.
