Looking Back
In case of emergency…
Cap Sante Marina Harbormaster Dale Fowler has been a familiar face at the public marina for almost 30 years, so Port Executive Director Dan Worra suggested to Dale’s successor, Brad Johnson, that he make liberal use of the “Dale mask” in the event of any contentious exchange with clients. The spoof was part of the […]
New growth
I love this time of the year, when new growth pushes its way into the world as in the case of this evergreen. The bright green tips feel rubbery, but ultimately turn dark green, hard and prickly like their “older sibs.”
Ever so slowly…
I found this fern unfolding this afternoon on a break before trying again to crank up the weedeater. No perceptible progress in the three minutes I spent with it. The weedeater started, dominated the next hour of my life.
Mt. Erie climb prep
Weekend sunshine brought a crowd to the top of Mt. Erie, including student rock climbers and instructors. The scene brought back memories of Dallas Kloke, who created many climbing routes and detailed them in a book.

Hub for ferry travel
We are a ferry town, serving as home base for state and county ferries, including an international route to Sidney, British Columbia. Skagit County serves Guemes Island, while the WSF offers routes to B.C. and the San Juans. Take a trip, enjoy the seaside perspective of life on Fidalgo Island!
Hike for the view
Unlike this woman, I drove up and down from the Cap Sante viewpoint today. She hiked up to enjoy the view on a blustery, gray afternoon in Anacortes.
AHS days gone by
This photograph captures a table display from the AHS Class of ’57. The photo was taken at the 2010 “All-Class Reunion.” What a great gathering of Anacortesans!
Away she goes
Once an eagle decides to move, its all happens pretty quickly.
Little winter friend
Given what little I know about the migratory habits of various Northwest birds, I was surprised to find this little hummingbird making regular visits to our backyard feeder. Yesterday I was able to approach within about four feet of him for this “portrait.” Then I departed the scene so he could get back to his […]
