Oystercatchers: May 2020
It was a great day. A number of oystercatchers arrived at the beach near the ferry terminal, content to have me photograph them as they moved along the shoreline, drinking occasionally from the fresh water coming from the bluff above. A beautiful bird!
Spruce Goose: July 2009
It was July 2009 when I joined a friend on a most memorable road trip to the Evergreen Museum in McMinnville, Oregon.

Recalling the Navy ‘Intruder’
One of my favorite stops at the NAS Whidbey Open House last weekend was a display featuring the one-time local naval aviation star: Grumman A6 ‘Intruder.” Presiding over the display was U.S. Navy Capt.

Activity under the umbrella of the Port of Anacortes. This photo was taken near the former Wyman’s Marina near the base […]

At one point in the project a big wind took down scaffolding and plastic on the north side of the building. The brick building is now operating under the umbrella of the Anacortes Housing Authority. From […]

At this time of year marine layer “fog” is a regular occurrence at Deception Pass. It was August 2005 when I pulled over on the Fidalgo Island side of the bridge for this image.
