Morning scenes at Ship Harbor
Always a great idea to start the day in one of this community’s natural areas. Today, Ship Harbor, beach and wetlands. I was pleased to encounter a couple of new feathered friends.
Morning stroll, NW style

Walk in the rain
It was light rain, so I ventured out with camera on Memorial Day morning. A wonderful, if short, walk in the rain. Sweet aroma of wildroses, beautiful music of songbirds.
Unique beak

Roundabout progress
Work continues on the SHIP roundabout, Oakes Avenue. This window shot was taken on the way from Ship Harbor heading back to the downtown area.
Quiet harbor
It was quiet on this Saturday at Ship Harbor, site of the state ferry terminal in Anacortes. A Canada goose paddles toward the beach, a recreational boater and the state ferry Elwha in the background. There were only a few cars in the terminal parking lot.
Winged friends on shoreline

I saw one eagle, one bunny and MANY birds. All shapes and sizes, from hummingbird and kingfisher to blue heron and Canada goose. Many plants […]

This dab of pink caught my eye on a walk at Ship Harbor Interpretive Preserve. Bare branches above form a canopy above. Tiny blossoms are starting to emerge everywhere, feeding the hopes of those who long for spring on Fidalgo Island!
Watery wonderland
Water levels are very high at the Ship Harbor Interpretive Preserve adjacent to the state ferry terminal. Rainfall runoff flows from surrounding highlands to the wetland below, with much of the water ultimately feeding into the saltwater harbor. A beautiful season to enjoy the wooden boardwalk that meanders through wetlands. Already there are signs of […]
Cruising in
A Washington State ferry approaches the terminal at Anacortes in the neighborhood known as Ship Harbor.
Ferry-free harbor
Now that’s a beautiful shade of blue. I shot this photo Tuesday on the beach at Ship Harbor. There was some activity at the state ferry terminal, but there were no boats in sight. Very quiet. A great place to be.
Ferry exit
A state ferry swings toward the San Juan Islands just after leaving the Anacortes terminal at Ship Harbor. For a romantic outing take your favorite person, add picnic lunch and dessert from a local restaurant, purchase walk-on tickets to Friday Harbor and find yourself a quiet table by the window. If time’s an issue, you […]
