Sunrise Over Puget Sound
Not far from my house is the Samish Overlook. It is one of my go-to places for sunrises and sets.
On Labor Day I awoke at 5am and though it was mostly cloudy took an chance and made my way there.
From the parking area there are two viewpoints, one facing south with a view of Skagit Valley and Samish Bay
Samish Bay
and the other looking west out over the Puget Sound, towards the San Juan Islands.
Sunrises are always a gradual awakening of colors.
The wind was calm over the water making for some nice reflections.

Padilla Bay: Barn and Tree, Water and Sky
The Padilla Bay Estuary offers some wonderful opportunities for imaging. The pathway leads through an open scene of grasses, water and several lone trees…
The abandoned barn and old, rusted equipment provide alluring back drops…
As the sun goes down it all glows with colors.
Soon the colors change from blues to reds…
The panoramas are endless…

I am not normally a “boat person” so I am not too sure how I would up with so many boating images this year, but I did and here are the best of them!
