Morning sun shafts pierce through canopy of forest at Deception Pass State Park.
Reports are that is has been a great couple of days of sailing for Race Week Pacific Northwest, based in Anacortes out of Cap Sante Marina. Here are a few scenes from the marina, where activity spills out not only to surrounding waters but to the business community as well. Remember, this is a pubic […]
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…
A group of kayakers takes a breather on the beach just before pushing off toward Canoe Pass on the south shore of Fidalgo Island.
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. I am happy to share this beautiful Northwest “neighborhood” with so many who have suffered from travel restrictions over the past months. Here’s to the Spring/Summer […]

This osprey, or seahawk, caught my eye the other day. He was perched on a power pole not too far from the street. I watched him for a few minutes, changed positions just in time to see him fly away to one of two nearby towers. Both towers feature large osprey nests. I have been […]
My notes show that this trip went well for this Pass Lake fisherman, whose stand-up technique brought in at least one catch.
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!
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 […]
