Team Tea
I didn’t talk to anyone about numbers for the day, but these photos were taken shortly after noon, the opening hour of an anti-tax, anti big government protest held in downtown Anacortes. The local “tea party” was one of countless such gatherings held around the nation today on the deadline day for 2008 tax returns. […]

Anacortes on ice
I left the house Monday morning for a short walk and ended up being out for 90 minutes. What a glorious, quiet winter morning! Shots here include a skier on “O” Avenue, a home on a South Side hill, a scene at Grand View Cemetery and a view to the south, toward Cap Sante.
Snow Isle
