Cherry Cherry: July 2013
Those were the days! Among Summer Concerts sponsored by the Port of Anacortes at Seafarers’ Memorial Park was this July 2013 performance by Cherry Cherry, a Neil Diamond tribute band. Lead singer Steve Kelly. Maybe again some day…

Life in the outdoors: Bowman Bay
Fog and kayakers dominated my attention on a Sunday morning visit to Bowman Bay, but there were many others headed for beach and trails as I returned at midday.

My notes show that this trip went well for this Pass Lake fisherman, whose stand-up technique brought in at least one catch.
At play on the bay
Cap Sante is always an interesting place to be, but particularly on Spring and Summer nights when boating activity is heavy. My Wednesday evening visit included opportunity to photograph sailors participating in a race. The skippers likely would have preferred more wind, but for this observe, the weather was perfect!
Turkey vultures: 2018
I can’t tell you how many times I have looked to the sky, initially mistaking a turkey vulture for a bald eagle. I was reminded by a long distance viewing last week at Deception Pass that I had this “up close and personal” experience with a few turkey vultures in 2018. They were perched on […]
