"And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been." - Rainer Maria Rilke Photo of Sharpe Cove (Fidalgo Island, WA)
A quiet, colorful sunset over Cornet Bay. (Oak Harbor, WA)
Deception Pass State Park was fantastic; full of old growth trees and ferns, and plenty of wild birds. (My sister was convinced the screaming heron swooping overhead was a pterodactyl.) After climbing to higher elevations, a few the trails had some dangerous dropoffs, while offering spectacular views. Watch your footing!
