Oak Harbor Downtown

I used to stroll the aisles of this long gone variety store.  The penny candy called to me.  This variety store had everything you could ever want...back in the 1950s.

A hidden treasure below the Pioneer Way shops.

Libbey Beach Bluff

When the weather is gray, what does a photographer do?

Head to the beach and try a study in lines and shapes!

These images are of the bluff at Libbey Beach, an Island Country Park.

October Spiders

Is it just me or are there more spiders than usual this fall?

The foggy mornings really help spot the webs. 

This must be prime property.  A spider high rise condo?  Are there spider real estate agents?

Sailboats return to harbor

Sailboats returning to the marina in Oak Harbor Bay at dusk.  In the distance are the Olympic Mountains.

October 19 & 20, 2010 sunrises

The sunrises the last two mornings have been wonderful.  I take advantage of the good view near my home at this time of the year.

October 16, 2010 sunrise

I felt the crunch of frost under my feet as I was taking this photograph.  That means we are officially in an "Indian summer" now.  First Reformed Church is in the foreground.

October 5, 2010 sunset

A lone kayaker was out late.

The swirling clouds were intriguing.

The outline of the Olympic Mountains remained long after the sun had gone.
