Taking the camera for aerial tour
I often note that it takes a boat or airplane “tour” to fully appreciate the wonder of this little corner of the world we call home. On Thursday I took a flight with a friend, flying this Cessna out of North Whidbey Island. In coming days I’ll be sharing images from the air, ranging from […]

Wayne shot this photo of me shooting a photo of the ribbon cutting at the Port of Anacortes Seafarers’ Memorial Park re-opening. A good time was had by all. This is not a development that […]
Sixties politics
At Mom’s invitation, we spent an hour or so last week sorting through collections of Dad’s career memorabilia. Among the items were these buttons from the presidential campaigns of 1960 and 1964. Barry Goldwater lost to Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon to John Kennedy … but the tenacious Nixon (Vice President under Dwight Eisenhower) stayed with […]
