This little family of daffodils caught me by surprise this morning on a walk. Blooming a few yards into a shoreline forest.

I don’t see deer often on the main road through Deception Pass State Park. Got off two frames this morning before this beauty disappeared into the forest.
Wet walk in Sharpe Park
This post is dedicated to the three couples, two singles, mother and child that I encountered Wednesday afternoon on a damp but delightful romp through Sharpe Park on Fidalgo’s western shore.

Light in the forest
It is always a good idea to take a forest walk, but my Sunday adventure was particularly rewarding during this time of trauma associated with the international coronavirus epidemic. I met one other hiker on the way in. We talked briefly with no mention of the virus. On the way to my car I passed […]
