You Know You Are From Anacortes When You See Mount Baker Looking Big

Saw that which you see here, on Facebook's You know you're from Anacortes when...page, this 4th morning of the 2022 version of November.

I’m in Anacortes for a short stay and couldn’t resist capturing a heron that I saw on the roof of our boathouse at Anacortes Marina. I loved the snow-covered view of Mount Baker in the background. For my photography friends, this is a single frame, not a composite, and taken from the top of the boat ramp, not a drone.

Anacortes is Skagit County's second biggest city, with county seat, Mount Vernon, being the largest city in Skagit County.

Mount Baker is one of Washington's five volcanoes. Often one can see steamy exhaust coming from Mount Baker's crater. If you hike close enough to the crater you can smell the sulphureous odor the volcano emits. It is the same smell one frequently smells at various hot spring zone of Yellowstone National Park.

From my old home in Mount Vernon I could see Mount Baker during the time of year leaves were not in the trees, blocking the view.

From my current abode no matter what window I look out I see nothing scenic.

In Anacortes you can hop aboard a Washington State Ferry and float to the San Juan Islands, or to Victoria, in British Columbia, in Canada.

I never ferry floated to Victoria from Anacortes. I twice floated to Victoria, from Seattle, via the Princess Marguerite.

I do not know how far it is from my current location to find a ferry boat. Maybe Galveston...
