Fall tracks
These tracks lead directly from fall into winter. I shot this photograph on 9th Street, just down the block from the Calico Cupboard Restaurant. The tracks bring back memories of Tommy Thompson’s custom-built narrow gauge train.
Fall planter
A pair of beautiful planters celebrate the fall season in front of Donatello Flowers and Gifts shop in downtown Anacortes. Seasonal window displays are beautiful as well.
Fall on display
Seasonal window displays like this one leave little doubt about the fact that we are well on our way to Thanksgiving. The Anacortes Chamber of Commerce presents the Annual Trick-or-Treat downtown from 1 – 4 p.m. on October 30. Participating downtown merchants will have candies for the kiddies and coupons or specials for the parents. […]
Fall afternoon
Tuesday afternoon was a perfect time for a walk. This fall scene was captured on “Q” Avenue, looking south.
Fall shadows
Some days call for a jacket, but there have still been a number of beautiful fall days here in Anacortes. Pictured here is a visitor to Cap Sante Boat Haven.
Eye catchers
I’m not sure if it was the schoolchildren crossing sign or the bright colored trees that caught my eye, but I pulled over and shot this photo Tuesday in front of Mt. Erie Elementary School. It is staying/getting darker earlier these days, so exercise extra caution around schools.
Going red
It’s almost time to drive east to photograph fall colors. In the meantime, some deciduous trees such as this one at Storvik Park have started to “splash” color on the local horizon.
Fall decor
Many local businesses celebrate the seasons by decorating their display windows. This photograph was taken in front of Buer’s Anacortes Floral and Gifts on Commercial Avenue.
Q colors
This stretch along “Q” Avenue in downtown Anacortes is always colorful this time of year. A man and his dog enjoy a morning walk.
Garden gives way
Fall weather has taken its toll on the garden, but “macro” options are always open, no matter the season. I don’t know the name of this bush, but I like the colors and the textures. Rather than raindrops, this morning’s moisture fell under the “heavy dew” category.
Fall around corner
Evidence of the pending arrival of fall is plentiful at local grocery stores. Tonight the sounds of high school football will fill the air as the Anacortes Seahawks play their first home game.
Green on red
For a slice of the “Cascades Highway” experience in terms of fall colors, see the trees in the neighborhood of the North Basin of Cap Sante Boat Haven, just one block south of 4th Street.
