Feathered friends, Fidalgo neighbors
Hikes/walks provide exercise, relief from “incarceration” … and an opportunity to meet neighbors of the feathered variety. Some of these birds are more cooperative than others. The flicker is elusive, and the kill deer combines speed and camouflage to make things challenging. Always fun to come away with a photo or two.
Kayakers prep for Pass run
A group of kayakers takes a breather on the beach just before pushing off toward Canoe Pass on the south shore of Fidalgo Island.
Huge seal takes a breather
I was fortunate to encounter this seal on the edge of a bluff at Rosario this morning. Big! And so impressively agile under water. I had about two minutes of quality time before he departed for deeper waters.

I don’t think he ever actually got airborne, but this paraglider at Bowman Bay kept lines in order and honed his kite management skills Friday afternoon.
Paddling beneath the bridge
Kayakers hone skills at Canoe Pass.
Northwest wildflowers
A South Fidalgo bluff trail hike yielded many opportunities to photograph native plants, including Indian Paintbrush, one of my favorites.
