This is a photo of Campbell Lake in Anacortes,WA. It's a very cool photo because this is a picture of the only island on an island in the continental United States!! That little island in the middle of the lake is in a lake on Fidalgo Island so it's island to the second power!! I think that's a fun fact, don't you? It's a beautiful lake. People go fishing and water skiing in it, among many other pleasurable activities!! Driving a taxi for over 15 years, I became well versed in little known fun facts to share with my passengers. They loved it and I got great tips from being a taxi driver and a tour guide!!! I love that job!! I had so much fun every day at work. I might have to start driving a taxi again. It's a blast!! 😁😁😁

I had a fabulous book signing for Small Business Saturday at Watermark Book Company in Anacortes, WA! We sent a lot of signed copies of The Everyday Naturalist out into the world with a whole bunch of great people, and I got to spend a few hours hanging out in a really lovely, cozy bookstore. They still have a few signed copies left, in case you missed today!

I feel like the clown husbandry community will be sufficiently pleased to know that there is in fact a clown sea slug! Her name is the modest clown dorid, (Triopha Modesta) and she is seen here feasting on scrumptious detritus! She also eats coralline algae and bryozoans, and can lay up to 3 million eggs at a time! Hope you like her ❤️

Some finds from shipwreck days (anacortes, wa townwide flea market)

Elverum (Anacortes, Washington) has had a long career - I'm happy to see he's releasing his own work (P.W. Elverum & Sun) and reaping the just rewards of a career dedicated to making music on his own terms and timetable.
