Under sail in New Zealand

On the web

Where else to share a spider photo but “on the web!” Many people grab a flyswatter or head in the opposite direction when they spot a spider.

Edison eagles

Anacortes friends Kirk and Mary Kennedy took advantage of sunshine the other day for an Edison excursion rich with opportunity for eagle photos. As avid photographer Kirk noted, you can certainly head upriver at this time of year to see eagles, but why travel that far when you can see dozens of the white-capped raptors […]

Virtual winter

Friend Del Zane had some fun in his “virtual darkroom” with an image he shot last summer, applying effects that seem to illustrate a “winter in Anacortes” scene. See more of Del’s work at Delzane.com.
