Cold and beautiful

A frozen pond at Union Bay Natural Area in Seattle.

A northern harrier flies over flooded fields.

Skagit County, notably the Samish Flats area, has a lot of large open fields with old barns. This particular year the fields were quite flooded, making the scene look particularly bleak on a cold, grey, November day.

The thinking bench

I see benches like this and always wonder how many people have sat there and pondered their lives and their days.

Point No Point Lighthouse

Taken from a view point that allows you to look at the sea and the wetland area. Prime birding territory.

Lake Crescent

It is a lovely lake, especially this view.
