<p>Good morning.</p>

<p>When I woke up this morning I took a double-take, “Is that snow?” Indeed it had <a href="/2008/12/21/snow-ski-lake/">snowed</a> <a href="/2008/12/19/farms-walk-snow/">again</a> – our flowers and budding bushes and trees endured another bout of Mother Nature’s confusing spring.</p>

<p>Some time ago I read a review about <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Window-Seat-Photography-Creative-Thinking/dp/0596100833/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-5495675-9221246?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1194306459&amp;sr=8-1">Window Seat</a> and it stuck in my head. I was on a plane this morning and decided to try my hand.</p>

<p>I spent a day traveling to the Skagit River to view the <a href="/2009/02/14/river-mountains-eagles/">eagles</a> when all I really had to do was go to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fay_Bainbridge_State_Park">Fay Bainbridge</a> – the park hosts a pair overlooking the Sound from their nest.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skagit_River">Skagit River</a> is renown for the migration of Bald Eagles who flock to the shores waiting to feast on the spawning salmon. On Thursday my uncle and I floated down the river with <a href="http://www.blueskyoutfitters.com/skagit-eagle.php">Blue Sky Outfitters</a> to view and photograph the eagles.</p>

<p>On of BI’s annual events occurred this weekend: the <a href="http://www.bichineseconnection.org/">Bainbridge Island Chinese New Year Parade</a>. Parades aren’t really our thing, as a kid I didn’t care for them and my daughter seems to be following right along. We had some friends coming to visit however and the parade seemed like a great place to meet and catch up.</p>

<p>The latest edition in the <a href="https://www.friendsofthefarms.org/">TWL</a> work party series removed a number of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alder">alders</a> growing on the Crawford property which, in full leaf, significantly shade the grapes on Day Road Farm – on the last farm walk I noticed while elsewhere on the farm the full sun had melted the morning frost this section of the farm still remained white late in the day.</p>

<p>The handing over of <a href="/tags/stuffed-animal/">animals</a> is usually a production, with the frantic dash – “wait-wait!” – through the house by my daughter finding just the right choice for the ride.</p>
