Evening Clouds

I found the clouds to the east, just before sunset, to be striking. This photo was taken from the west side of Oak Harbor. The North Cascade Mountains can be seen on the horizon.

Super Moonrise

This is a photo from the "super" moonrise on June 22, 2013. I was at Ft. Ebey State Park on Whidbey Island and this was about an hour after the moon had risen.

Flying by the Olympics

This view of the Olympic Peninsula is from Ft. Ebey State Park on the west side of Whidbey Island.

A Boat So Small

This view of a lone sailboat near the Olympic Peninsula reminds me of the Breton Fisherman's Prayer:

"Oh God, thy sea is so great, and my boat is so small."

I took this photo at Ft. Ebey State Park on the west side of Whidbey Island.

Whidbey Island Sunset

Perhaps no scene offers a sense of peace like a sunset from the west side of Whidbey Island.

Crowd for a Sunset

The first full day of summer was wonderful on Whidbey Island. I went to one of my favorite spots, Ft. Ebey State Park, to capture the sunset. Lots of other people had the same idea.

My favorite place has been discovered! It is hard to beat Ft. Ebey State Park for beauty. The vista goes all the way from Mr. Rainier, to the Olympics, to the San Juan Islands. I am happy to share the view.

(Not so) Super Moonrise

The moon was rising quite a bit to the south last night (around 120 degrees) so I went to Ft. Ebey State Park on the west side of Whidbey Island. I wanted to have something in the foreground that would be interesting. There was a cloud bank and it was nearly a half hour after the actual moonrise before I saw the moon. In the foreground is Perego's Lake. To the right are buildings at the Casey Conference Center.
