A couple from downtown Coupeville

Coupeville's Penn Cove Water Festival is going on right now. Chris and I headed downtown before all the festivities began and wandered around a bit. Alas, I'm not fond of crowds, so we left before the "good stuff" started, but still enjoyed talking with the vendors, wandering around the farmers' market, having coffee and apple pie at Knead & Feed.

Here's a self-portrait in front of a shop called "Far From Normal." Nah, not me at all, but if you look closely, there's Chris reflected in the TV!

And then a shot of an antique store across the street. Love the arrow in the window.

A cool and overcast day today on Whidbey Island. Nice contrast to all the bright sunny days we've been having lately. Sounds weird, huh? Yeah, well . . .

iPhone photo du jour . . .

Photo taken yesterday afternoon from my "Knead & Feed" restaurant window table in Coupeville, Whidbey Island, Washington. Good view. Good food. Then walked a couple of miles on the beach to hopefully work off some of that good food!

I may be getting tired of the "Lone Star" photo effect, but I still find little glimmers of joy using it. It works especially well on already-old subject matter (would love to use it at Bodie Ghost Town in California's eastern Sierra), or to make classic subject matter look old (like the ferry photo I took the other day). A lot of the time, however, it's just annoying! Kind of like me, I guess . . .
