Pastoral scene
Fidalgo Island still remains rural in areas such as this one, acreage with cattle on the east side of March’s Point. Friday’s weather made a midday drive mandatory.
Soaring
Based on the weather forecast, I ventured out Monday afternoon to take advantage of sunshine and blue skies. I was rewarded with this photograph of a bald eagle, leaving its perch on the shoreline of March’s Point.
Owl in flight
It’s not the greatest shot, but it’s the best I could do with a skittish owl I encountered on the shore of March’s Point.
Tideflats
A stroll through my photo files this afternoon yielded this image, taken from the shoreline near the north tip of March’s Point.
What, no grub?
I think it’s safe to say these sheep were disappointed Thursday morning when I stopped by their March’s Point pasture with nothing on the agenda but a photo. If sheep could talk, I think I would have heard something to the effect of: “Dang tourists! They roll in here with their silly grins and fancy […]
Elevated perspective
It was almost one year ago now that I was treated to an aerial “tour” of Anacortes and environs. This photograph includes the Anacortes waterfront in the foreground, Padilla Bay and Mt. Baker on the horizon. Situated in the center is the tip of March’s Point, flanked by Fidalgo and Padilla bays.

Harbor seal
I stayed my distance from this nervous little seal, sunbathing Wednesday afternoon on a dock at March’s Point.
Shades of silver
I grabbed this photo from an open passenger window at March’s Point Friday morning. I love the sweeping curves of the heron’s feathers, and the silvers and grays of feathers and water. A nice day for poetry.
Morning meal
One calf keeps an eye on the pesky photographer while another enjoys breakfast. Yes, Virginia, there is still a rural Fidalgo Island, despite a dramatic surge in home construction.
Bird’s-eye view
As usual, I packed my camera with me when I took a drive to see my buddies Bryan and Jeff at Import Autosport. Before going into the shop I took a spin around March’s Point Road … a decision that yielded this photo of a bald eagle perched high atop a power pole overlooking Fidalgo […]
Tide patterns
What almost appears to be a satellite photo of the earth is actually a photograph of Fidalgo Bay tidelands from beach’s edge at March’s Point. These tidelands are the rich source of nutrients for countless creatures and birds, among them the Great Blue Heron.
