It was raining hard yesterday, but the maples were glowing against the dark trees and low clouds.

A few photos from yesterday’s walk at the Port of Skagit trail system. Sometimes I get frustrated with my cell phone camera, other times I’m happily surprised with its quality. This was a mix.
slough view
Just a glimpse onto Edison Slough from the back courtyard of Slough Food a couple of weeks ago. It was a raw day, damp and blustery, but the light was beautiful.
