Four kiteboarders took advantage of blue skies and wind to welcome in the New Year with an adventure on the choppy waters of Padilla Bay. Visible on the horizon is Mt. Erie. Photo taken from the beach at Bayview State Park.
I was far enough away so these ducks simply paddled off, rather than flying to safety. I love winter light, especially on the waters of our bays and lakes. Looks like that light might be lacking in days to come.
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.
A blue heron stands on the western shoreline of Padilla Bay, Mt. Baker looming in the background.
