Last week we met up with some friends and took a drive up to Washington State Park just west of Anacortes. It sits on a peninsula near the tip of Fidalgo Island. On a clear day you can see stunning views of the Olympic Mountains and over the San Juan Islands from the walking loop that circles the park. As you can imagine, it is a favorite spot during the summer for camping, picnicking and boating. However, on this cold and blustery November day, we just wanted to take a drive and find a place where we could get out into the fresh air and stretch our legs. I only had my old camera phone with me but hopefully, I captured a sense of the day.
As we walked by we saw a seagull on his perch overlooking the strait. On our return trip an hour later he was still there. I wonder what he was contemplating as he gazed out over the water.
We wandered in and out between the rocky shoreline and the trees.
We saw one intrepid sailor braving the choppy waters.
Eventually, we made our way down to the cove beach.
