At last, the sun!

A rainbow appeared briefly over the horizon Thursday afternoon, as viewed from the cul de sac at Ship Harbor Interpretive Preserve (SHIP) on the west side of Anacortes. Note ribbon of fresh water making its way to the sea (lower left hand corner). LOTS of water for the past few weeks.

This bridge is one of three spans linking Fidalgo Island with the Skagit Valley and Whidbey Island.

Double bow

We were treated Sunday afternoon to not just one, but two rainbows sweeping full over Anacortes. The double bow appeared before the Super Bowl broadcast, so there’s a chance some percentage of the population enjoyed it.
