It's my last week before starting back to work and I've a long to-do-list. On the fun side was to get out of dodge on a day trip. Yesterday was perfect for a long drive. Took an hour to decide where to go. My destinations were Deception Pass on Whidbey Island and swinging through the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival.
Deception Pass happens to be the site of my very first day trip out of Seattle. A theater colleague I was staying with took me up my first weekend in town. And I fell in love with WA state right there. Two long green bridges span the pass. The views of the water and islands are amazing. Each trip here holds special memories for me.
This trip was stunning with bright sunny blue skies and turquoise reflecting waters. After driving across the bridges to the visitor parking lot, I spent an hour walking over the bridges taking in the gorgeous views. Not a trip for those afraid of heights or bridges! The only time I was truly nervous was when large trucks were crossing due to the vast amount of wind in their wakes. Grabbed the bridge rails hard during those times. Good to have a healthy respect and awareness of your surroundings.
Mount Baker was beautiful in the distance. A few fellow visitors joined me, yet it felt like I had the place to myself.

I love to photograph signs, especially funny or unusual ones. Added this one to my collection yesterday. Thank you Captain Obvious.
