Up all night with the Milky Way and the Salish Sea!

And so it begins! The Milky Way season is officially upon us, and a few nights ago I was reminded of my place in the Universe, when the clouds parted and the Milky Way appeared in all its glory! I'm sincerely looking forward to more clear and moonless nights, to stare in wonder at the little bit of our own Galaxy we're fortunate enough to see.

Milky Way over John's Pass from Camp Everhappy!

I just LOVE Milky Way Season! It's just beginning and I crave clear moonless nights, like 3am this last Sunday morning!

Stay tuned, I'm editing 1400 pictures from Saturday night / Sunday morning into what looks to be an epic time lapse!

Twilight at the Gateway to the San Juan Islands

Departing from the Anacortes airport just after sunset, you can also catch a glimpse of the ferry loading up to make a night run. I think this is the most magical time of the day!

Light like this doesn’t last long.

It will vanish in the blink of eye. Being up in the air and ready for this is something I’ve spent decades mastering. And I still miss a lot!

The tide was coming in fast, the channels started to glow, and for a few minutes everything just lined up.

These are the moments I go up for. The moment I live for.

Anacortes is often called the Gateway to the San Juan Islands. But from my perspective, living in the San Juans, it is the Gateway to Everything Else! And as seen in this photo, the majestic Cascade Mountains with Mt. Baker! I always love this view, and am grateful I get to see it any time I get up in the sky!

The day before Easter I was flying from Bellingham to Stuart Island, and something reminded me that sometimes I have to remind myself to turn around and look behind me, because sometimes the most amazing scenery is what is right behind you! Last Saturday, Mount Baker was looking absolutely gorgeous over Sucia Island as the sun was getting low on the horizon.

There was something in the air yesterday that beckoned me into the sky. The clouds all screamed "Killer Sunset Coming!" and woweee was it ever an amazing sunset! Watching the WSF Chelan exiting the San Juan Islands headed for Anacortes with a sky on fire over the Islands was an amazing sight to behold!

Nothing beats a spring day of flying around the San Juan Islands! Yesterday was gorgeous and the skies beckoned. I always love checking on on the lookout tower on Mt. Constitution, and seeing Sucia and Patos Islands is a real treat!
