A kiss in the sunshine

I took advantage of a break in the weather Wednesday afternoon to run around the downtown area with my camera. This small statue/fountain of a woman and a bird stands outside the Anacortes Museum, a former Carnegie Library. According to Anacortes Museum researcher Alex Dunn, the water fountain was donated by the Women’s Christian Temperance Union in 1906 in memory of long-time Union president Corrie M. White. It was located originally at the corner of 5th Street and Commercial Avenue, then at Washington Park from the Thirties until 1973, when it was moved to its present location. The fountain, which features four water “bowls” at different levels (for people, horses and dogs) was refurbished and repainted in 2002.

About Photographer Steve Berentson

A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
