Windows and walls

An early morning visit to downtown Anacortes yielded photographic opportunities as the rising sun illuminated the windows and walls of businesses on the west side of Commercial Avenue: a bright orange crab “captured” in the glass of a plate at Donatello Flowers and Gifts; another Donatello display with a rust-colored heron and a small lighthouse; a collection of flyers and a reflection of the Majestic Hotel in the window of the Brown Lantern tavern; a salmon and other sealife on the brick wall outside of The Red Snapper. I encourage a stroll through the downtown at any hour on these beautiful summer days, but the light between 6 and 7 a.m. can be especially rewarding.
