OYSTER RUN

This is like the 45th annual Oyster Run in the Valley. 10s of thousands of bikers participate and they all end up in Anacortes (which I didn't go to this year) and all the roads are closed up there. But it is neat to see and very exciting and noisy. They come from all over and make a Valley loop stopping at any little town with a pub or bar. And I like how they all line up nicely.

The little corner tavern full of bikes. This little tavern is out in the middle of nowhere in the farmland in Skagit valley and once a year it is packed with bikers.

Well-taken care of beauty

This house is late 1800s and on the Historical Registry. Still being lived in, used as an every day home.

Oops

I almost forgot my daily picture. I have been so busy running around like a chicken with it's head cut off and accomplishing mostly nothing that
I spaced out. EEEEK!!
Here is a picture of the new nameless pup. He is a cutie. He was hiding in my closet on a coat he pulled down. He's still cute.

Another day

We have rain, some sunshine, cool temps and it might get warm this afternoon. What to wear, what to wear--as if I had much of a choice anyway. lol
Tomorrow is Fall Equinox and the next day is Yom Kippur. So Fall and Winter will soon be upon us and we will miss the sunny summer days. Well here anyway where it doesn't get too hot.
The Eagles and Snow Geese and Trumpter Swan will soon be showing up to winter in the valley. And the many types of Hawks. Always fun to go birding.
This is a picture I took last month. Taken on Camano Island looking across Port Susan Bay towards Stanwood with Mt Baker in the background.
