The make me homesick photo you see here I saw on Facebook, this morning of the second Wednesday of 2023.
Skagit Valley photographer, Mark K, took the photo after he saw multiple looky-loos parked roadside gawking east at the extremely colorful sunset.
Below is one of the Mark K sunset photos.
For those reading this in Fort Worth, those bumps on the horizon are actual islands, surrounded by real water of the saltwater sort, not imaginary islands of the Fort Worth sort, where there is no surrounding water of any sort, but one day may be sort of surrounded by water, if a cement lined ditch ever gets dug, with dirty river water diverted into the ditch.
In the Mark K photo at the top, that big white bump is a volcano, known as Mount Baker. Washington has five active volcanos. In addition to Mount Baker there is Mount Rainier, Mount Adams, Mount St. Helens and Glacier Peak.
I have been invited to a birthday party taking place next summer at the Mark K estate on the Skagit Flats.
I have been told if I make it to the Mark K birthday party there will be blackberry pie and strawberry shortcake. I think it was Miss Carol BD who promised me blackberry pie and strawberry shortcake if I showed up.
Currently I would say there is less than a 50/50 chance I will make it to the Skagit Valley this coming July.
I think I have mentioned previously that from the living room of my abode in Mount Vernon, when the leaves were not on the trees, I could see the Mount Baker volcano.
From my current living room, no matter what window I look out, I see pretty much nothing...
This is the first I've heard of this naming those pitiful bridges thing. It would be one thing if there was anything remotely unique about those bridges. But, they do not even bridge over anything. And never will, til cement lined ditches are dug under them.
