Mark your calendars for this year’s holiday show at Pleasant Ridge Gallery at the Rexville Grange, from November 22-25! As always, there will be lots of wonderful locally made arts and crafts throughout the weekend, and the opening night reception will have food, wine and live music (by me and my husband), plus a chanceContinue reading “Pleasant Ridge Gallery holiday show”

more fog
I just can’t resist sunlight through fog in the woods. And we have a lot of it this time of year.
tulip season
This past week has been the height of the tulip bloom here in Skagit. I’d been driving back and forth to the art show at Rexville, keeping an eye on the blooms, and finally one morning I took myself out to the fields at sunrise and watched the morning fog roll over the tulips andContinue reading “tulip season”
best of Skagit
A couple of weeks ago, right before I left for a trip, I spent a day running around Skagit County taking photographs for the Cascadia Weekly‘s Best of Skagit issue. They had just gotten the voting results in, so it was all very last minute. The Weekly ran several photos for the article, plus oneContinue reading “best of Skagit”
daffs and swans
Fields of daffodils, snow on the hills, swans on the wing. This is a pretty place.
low tide
As often happens in February in Skagit, the sun has been making brief appearances, only to vanish again behind gray wet clouds. We took advantage of a sunbreak to walk out at Padilla Bay again. The tide was going out, and No Name Slough wound gleaming through the tideflats while mist rolled in from theContinue reading “low tide”

One morning the dog and I climbed up Little Mountain, hearing wild geese call through the dense mist, emerging at the very top into blue sky with snowy mountains poking up out of the fog. Another day we left the gray riverContinue reading “winter walks”
cold and clear
We’ve had some cold, bright days here over the last couple of weeks. The dog and I drove out towards the foothills one morning and found a pretty side road with views of Mount Baker, farms and frosty fields. I don’t feel like I quite got the shot I was hoping for but it wasContinue reading “cold and clear”
winter slough
I don’t always remember to take one of my DSLRs with me on walks, so I’m particularly grateful for the camera in my cell phone. I might have missed getting this image of Big Indian Slough where it runs into Padilla Bay, with winter sunlight glowing on the water.
Skagit Valley Food Co-op show coming soon
This Friday I’m putting up a show right here in Mount Vernon, at the Skagit Valley Food Co-op. For the month of December my photographs will be on the walls all along the mezzanine above the deli, and given the setting I’ve decided on food as the subject – mostly abstract and/or macro shots ofContinue reading “Skagit Valley Food Co-op show coming soon”
