A closer look at The Maiden
Yesterday on a hike at Rosario Beach I decided to examine and record some of the details carved into LaConner sculptor Tracy Powell’s “Maiden of Deception Pass” story pole, commissioned by the Samish Indian Nation in the early Eighties. An incredible piece of work.
Air Jaden I
It’s been wonderful these past few weeks having young Anacortes photographer Jaden D’Angelo share some of his images. With his permission, two of my favorites from the latest collection: Cap Sante Marina and Deception Pass.
Prepping bridge for paint
It is fascinating to watch crews work on the twins spans at Deception Pass Bridge. Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has contracted for the painting of the iconic bridges, with scope of work including paint removal and some repair. Each bridge is “wrapped” for the painting process, and to prevent debris from falling into […]
Spring break brings folk outside
I’m guessing most area parks were busy Tuesday as sunshine and spring break prompted people to get outside! At Rosario I spotted picnickers, beach walkers, tidepool explorers, kayakers, fishermen, families … and even a couple of small dogs sharing a paddleboard with their favorite human (definitely on a short leash). It was great to have […]
Another busy week for Port
Monday morning is bustling for the Port of Anacortes. On the Guemes Channel, crews load the Amber Star with petroleum coke from the Shell Refinery while the San Juan Enterprise prepares to take on a load. At Cap Sante Marina there is less contractor equipment in the water as a new “A” Dock moves closer […]
Bunnies & ducks
Ducks have been plentiful, but I haven’t seen so many bunnies as I saw this morning on my walk through the wetlands at Ship Harbor. Hoping also for the return of osprey.
Tulips ‘star’ at Scott Milo Gallery
From April 2 – May 4 Scott Milo Gallery in downtown Anacortes will host the 5th Annual Tulip Poster Artists, Past & Present. The gallery features bright, energetic oils by 2021 Tulip Festival poster artist Jennifer McGill. Also showing are oils by Alfred Currier, poster artist for 1998; color still life photographs by 2000 & […]
Wonders of bluff trail
Of course I enjoyed the sweeping view of water from this Fidalgo Island bluff trail, but I also scanned the “floor” and “walls” for natural beauties. South Fidalgo, trail between Rosario and Bowman Bay.
Hanging out at Deception Pass
Contract workers continued work at Deception Pass Bridge today, preparing support structure for wraps that will be hung before chipping and sandblasting begins on the steel span. These images include workers at north and south ends of the bridge, about 180 feet above the water. The project requires closure to one lane from time to […]
Trillium buds on trail
Success! My forest walk included this sighting of a budding trillium plant. I hope I get to see it blossom fully, but bicycle and horse tracks nearby have me worried about its future.
Driftwood delivery
If you look closely you will discover many large logs being carried by waves hitting Rosario Beach. Much of this “driftwood” will take up temporary residence on the shoreline.
Dunes area photo album
It is an extraordinary neighborhood: the dunes area between the ocean and lake at Deception Pass State Park. This area is located south of the West Beach restrooms. Surf on one side, fresh lake water on the other.
