Looking Back
Blue on blue
Garden in bloom. I just couldn’t pass on this image. Hundreds of blossoms huddled together in a sea of gorgeous blues.
Orange erupts
I don’t know the name of this flower, but it is blooming right now on the table in front of my living room window. Will research it with resident gardener so I can give it proper billing.
Tousled feathers
Immature eagle in nest, wind at his back.
Recalling astronaut Brandenstein
I examined this framed memento on my office wall the other day and was prompted to check out NASA astronaut Dan Brandenstein on the Internet. I was a reporter at the Whidbey News-Times when the U.S. Navy pilot visited Oak Harbor (He flew 192 combat missions in A-6 Intruders). Brandenstein piloted one space shuttle mission […]
Sweet gardenia
Those of you who have ever owned a gardenia know the delight of spring, when the smell of new blossoms fills the air. We are excited right now to have two plants blooming.
On the water
It’s good to see fly fishermen like Brandon back on the water at Pass Lake on south Fidalgo Island.
Point. Pose. Ponder…
Point. Pose. Ponder the panoramic view. Cap Sante is a great place for a selfie. In addition to the “backdrop,” it’s easy to create seemingly “death defying” poses in very safe, stable locations.
Hazelnuts Northwest!
Gerald Holmquist (right) of Lynden visited Anacortes today with his delicious hazelnuts, “natural” and packaged with a variety of flavor enhancements. Behind the counter with Holmquist is his friend, Tom Skillman. Had to settle for a sample as I had no cash … but I’ll be back! Anacortes Farmers Market at the Depot, every Saturday […]
Oil protest price tag
Anacortes Police Chief Bonnie Bowers participated in a post-fossil fuels protest debrief Tuesday morning with the Skagit County Commissioners. The chief said law enforcement and safety measures associated with the three-day event came with a $57,000 price tag for the City of Anacortes. “It was a huge financial cost,” Anacortes Mayor Laurie Gere was quoted […]
Steam days
Back in the day, mid-Eighties I think, steam train visionary Tommy Thompson stepped into his dream with dedication of a line running from the downtown Depot to Commercial Avenue (Calico Cupboard). The line is no longer operational, but the train is in town and a group is trying to come up with a way of […]
‘Round the roundabout`
Wow! There’s a reason this image is out of focus. I was passing through the south Commercial roundabout at 9 a.m. this morning when this eagle swept by, within six feet of my windshield. I quickly parked the car and ran to the roundabout area, where I discovered this eagle had a buddy watching from […]
No microphone required
Sure, the “uni” alone grabs your attention, but when Anacortes Town Crier Richard Riddell starts a “cry” there’s no denying he’s in the house. This photo was taken as Richard introduced his audience at the Port of Anacortes Opening Day of Boating Season event last Saturday. “THANKS, RICHARD!”
