  6. I can’t begin to adequately describe how beautiful it was today up in the Skagit Valley. Sunshine and not a cloud in the sky. Could this be winter? It was a little chilly but I was dressed for success, four layers. We passed by flocks of Trumpeter Swans in the fields. We did a whole loop around Lake Samish. #bicycling #cycling #bike #SkagitValley #SkagitCounty #LakeSamish #WhatcomCounty #PNW #Washington

  17. Hey Whatcom County: fill out the poll for Cascadia Daily's "Citizens Agenda" and shape the questions they will ask of local candidates. In particular, I encourage you to pick #15 about Ranked Choice Voting and #36 about Gerrymandering, but there are a lot of other good topics on there too.

  18. Marine Park has become the place I ‘need’ to go to in order to feel calm. Listening to the water here has brought so much peace to me whenever I visit that I almost don’t feel the need to take photos. Which makes me love this place more!

  23. A big article in the #CascadiaDaily about the recent Whatcom County charter review meeting about #RankedChoiceVoting.

  31. The City of Bellingham will purchase 754 forested acres on the southeast side of Lake Whatcom from a local timber company, adding to more than 3,500 acres of land acquisitions in the watershed.

    The property was last logged several decades ago and its forests will now be allowed to mature into older growth that will stabilize steep slopes, capture carbon and filter runoff.

And for my Asia calendar, I picked a photo of this amazing tree on the grounds of Angkor Wat. Just love the ancient feel to this tree that cast such an amazing shadow.
