NatureFootstep Waters

Blue skies and calm waters mean that it's time to take the boat out - at least that's what the owner of this boat had in mind.

Last Friday the 13th we got treated to a marvelous thunderstorm. 

Since skywatching is one of my favorite past times, I didn't hide away in my house. Instead, I rushed down to the dock at Washington Park and watched as the storm unfolded. 

Here are three shots that I took over about an hour period of time. 

Unfortunately I couldn't capture any of the lightning that was striking around me and across the water. 

Amazingly enough, boaters continued to come and go as the storm passed over us. 

When I got home, the power was out until 5 am the next morning -

it was worth it!

Happy skywatching wherever you may be!

Antiques anyone? Anacortes is home to

many antique stores and breweries.

So you can shop and then drink a brew.

Or drink first and then shop!
