September splash
It is mid-September, and the weather has been “fall-ish,” so I was quite surprised Monday afternoon to discover this teen performing acrobatic dives at the small boat launch at Seafarers’ Memorial Park. With videographer friend at her side, the athletic young woman made several “dives” into what must be chilly harbor waters. Good planning, because […]
Warbird through a boy’s eyes

Damselflies flash colors in wetlands
Photos from a recent walk into the Anacortes Community Forest Lands yielded news about the distinction between dragonflies and damselflies (pictured here). I discovered many opportunities to capture images of these amazing little insects in their environment: on leaves, branches, logs and ferns. I mistakenly identified them as dragonflies, but reader Charles Cossel pointed out […]
Forest trails beckon
What a wonderful walk in the forest yesterday, including the discovery of a new path to a familiar friend: Little Cranberry Lake. I had been chasing dragonflies in my back yard garden without success. Who knew they congregated in the forest lands, just waiting for me and my camera!
