Fort Ebey Panorama

I find it difficult to give a full sense of the view at Fort Ebey State Park on Whidbey Island. The expanse of sea and mountains is breathtaking. This shot was from December 23.

Olympic Mountains - December 23

The view of the Olympic Mountains from Ft. Ebey State Park on December 23 was amazing.

The state park is on the west side of Whidbey Island off Libbey Road. The views include Mt. Rainier at the south to the San Juans at the north. 

White Christmas

Oak Harbor received about two inches of snow through the night.

What fun to have a white Christmas.

Merry Christmas

This couple, living a few blocks from me, go all out for every holiday.
