Fog drops in
It must be October. These days my morning adventures on Fidalgo Island are wrapped in fog.
Fidalgo fog
It is the season of fog, and the Northwest is still experiencing some level of smoke from wildfires to the south. Fog did not hamper the spirits of people yearning for outdoor experiences Saturday. At Rosario Beach, and again at Bowman Bay, adventurers ranged from hikers to families with children; from kayakers to scuba divers. […]

The couple pictured here at Rosario Head traveled from Bellingham. She grew up in Sedro-Woolley and as a child […]

COVID-19 restrictions, first put in place in March, have ramped up again in recent weeks. Some speculate such masks will be the […]
Under the sea (at Rosario)
I encountered two groups of divers Saturday at Rosario Beach. I thought the first diver I spotted was a seal, and in fact he and two others were later joined by a curious seal. Pacific Northwest waters are renowned among divers. Lots of color, both plant life and underwater creatures.
4th of July on the water
Many folks enjoying the wonderful weather of Independence Day 2020 opted to spend time on or near the water. These photos show activity on Bowman Bay, Rosario Bay and Heart Lake.
Out for a paddle
What better way to enjoy the outdoors while meeting COVID-18 “social distancing” regulations. There was a marked spike in activity on the water Friday afternoon at Bowman Bay, but watersports provided a safe way to exercise and enjoy the sun without worry about a crowd.
