Aerial Anacortes: 2012
I will always be grateful to my friend Spencer, who on several occasions took me flying for a bird’s eye view of beautiful Fidalgo Island. Pictured here in the foreground is Washington Park!

A different kind of fall color
First came a period of no rain, taking a toll on local trees. Then came some cool fall temps and wind. Not leaves, but needles from conifers. The Loop Road in Washington Park, west Anacortes.
Photo magnet
Possibly the most photographed tree in Anacortes. A 2010 flashback, couple shooting selfie at the top of Washington Park Loop Road overlooking Burrows Bay.
Looking west over Anacortes
Happy to share yet another aerial photo by Anacortes teen Jaden D’Angelo.

Thanks again, Jaden, for providing a new perspective […]

One of my favorite shots of Skyline, viewed from the observation point on the Loop Road at Washington Park on the west side of Anacortes.
