Ah, the sweet freedom of the last day of school!
My journey took me through Edison , to the Samish River.
The daisies got me thinking about the Samish Overlook, and so I headed there.
A hang glider swooped and soared above.
Another perfect day… Looking forward to many more!
Images captured years ago, now seeing the light of day…
It was just one of those utterly unbelievably colorful sunsets.
There is no way to fake those colors!
Samish Overlook is a wonderful place for views.
I visited this morning, hoping to get a few shots of the view with some flowers.
I did!
And I got an extra bonus of two people paragliding off!
Here are a few images from the Samish River from last week. The sky was abound with color. I love the green grass and the reflection of colors in the river.
This is from the little bridge that spans the Samish along the Bayview – Edison Road.
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.

The Samish River meanders through the flats of the Skagit Valley. The old wreck was once a racing tugboat, long since abandoned. The confluence of water and clouds is always a draw for me.
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!

These boats are deserted, moored and docked along a small inlet from Samish Bay, part of Puget Sound in Skagit County, Washington. 
A few weeks ago I visited Samish Bay (Skagit County, Washington) with my wife and son and some friends and took these pictures. There were lots of crabs under the stones, we saw a squid, played in the mud and as you can see the sunset was magnificent!
