This was the view early Wednesday afternoon from the summit of Washington Park Loop Road, with a branch of the park’s twisted tree silouetted in the foreground. Visible in the distance is Mt. Erie.
This photograph was taken Sunday afternoon from the playground area at Washington Park’s Sunset Beach. Prominent in the silhouette is the horizontally configured shoreline tree routinely associated with Anacortes.
My usual preference with wildlife photography is to “get closer,” but I enjoyed this eagle from afar Monday afternoon as it circled slowly over our house on its way south.

This is a familiar scene to those who make “the loop” at Washington Park a regular part of their summer schedule. Joggers, bikers, walkers and drivers pass this landmark tree shortly after starting around the city park’s one-way loop road. Inside the loop are acres of land laced with a well-maintained trail system.
Framed by the loop of a boardwalk lampost at Cap Sante Marina North Basin early this morning was a heron flying toward lower Cap Sante. Spikes on the arch of the post serve as a deterrent to would-be perchers including the many pigeons who call the basin area home.
