Standing the test of time
Several trees on the southwest shoreline of Fidalgo Island show evidence of the powerful weather forces they battle.

Under construction
Among Christmast trees being decorated today at the Port of Anacortes Transit Shed Event Center is this unique beauty, created in partnership between The Market at Anacortes and DASH, a non-profit women’s organization. Pictured here are Jody Honomichel, Bev Martin, Peggy Flynn, Jeri Liggit and Mary Kennedy. The Celebration of Trees is an annual fund-raising […]
Soon to go
With temperatures rising, the snow from these neighborhood trees is starting to melt. Yes, it’s beautiful, but I can’t say I’m brokenhearted about the prospect of clear streets once again. It was nice to have a white Christmas, though, wasn’t it?
Golden arches
An out-of-town drive yielded this reward: beautiful arching branches dressed in the golden leaves of fall.
Trees down
When people get out this spring, they are going to notice some of the devastation caused by Winter 2007 wind storms, including these two trees at historic Causland Park in downtown Anacortes. A great deal of damage also occurred in city forestlands, and in popular state parks including Deception Pass.
Clock’s ticking
The clock’s ticking, and beautiful trees are still for sale at the Kiwanis Club lot in the parking area of Sebo’s hardware store on Commercial Avenue. Among volunteers at the tree lot are Don Fenkner and Walt Jensen. Proceeds from tree sales go to community “investments” such as college scholarships for local students.
For the cause
Among Saturday morning shoppers at the Kiwanis Christmas tree stand were Bentli Kravland (right) and Paula Wood, assisted by volunteer Tom Kier. Funds from this effort, based in the parking lot of Sebo’s hardware store, go to community efforts including college scholarships. Also working with Kier were Don Fenkner and Walt Jensen.
Biz Point giants
This beautiful stand of cedars presides over a Biz Point property. A small stream passes through the trees on its way to the harbor. Evening sunlight paints amber “spots” on trees.
Cedars by the sea
This photograph of a stand of cedars on Biz Point really needs an audio element. Ferns grow heavy at the base of the trees because there is a creek running through on its way to the sea. Serene is the word that comes to mind…
Green Point edge
Visible in the distance beyond this stand of trees in Washington Park is a sailboat plying the waters of the Guemes Channel. Green Point is the extraordinary grassy strip just off the Loop Road in Washington Park. It is a popular draw to thousands … a great place for a romantic picnic.
