Dropping from the sky
I often scan the sky for eagles when I get to the Mt. Erie neighborhood, but on a recent day that scan caught a flash of color. Turns out it was hang glider Tom Johns, who had just taken a leap off of Mt. Erie. I reached the county park area below with a couple […]
Paint project continues on two spans
Contractors are back at work in earnest on the two iconic bridges at Deception Pass. These photos were taken on a Saturday morning. Work also continues at night, with traffic across the bridges often reduced to one lane. Note two colors on some sections of the bridge: brown color is primer coat. Spans will ultimately […]

There was a hawk flying […]

This proud little museum is a must for anyone, regardless of age, who appreciates airplanes, history and specifically, naval aviation on Whidbey Island. My grandson and I had a wonderful time at the […]

Father/son outing
Seattle residents Don and Preston spent a few hours on Pass Lake Saturday. The drop a line in this catch-and-release lake about four times a year. No luck with fish today, but time spent fishing with a friend is always time well spent.
The eyes have it
Exciting back-to-back opportunities Wednesday and Thursday to photograph two of my favorite birds: the oystercatcher and the towhee. Something about those eyes…
