2025 Nature Highlights
With one big exception, I didn’t travel far to get into the woods and mountains in 2025. In fact, I hardly left Whatcom County and when I did it was just to the two adjacent ones, Skagit and Okanogan. The exception was a week-long sailing trip in the Sea of Cortez, heading out from La Paz, Mexico on a 46-foot catamaran with Salty Boys. I’m truly blessed to live in a place with such a delightful mix of habitats that support a diversity of plant life.
It’s challenging to select just a few favorites from a year’s worth of adventures, but I managed to narrow it down to the 99 photos in this video slideshow. It runs about 6:35 and you’ll best enjoy it full screen on your computer.
Where will I go in 2026? Only time will tell, as I’ve made no travel plans yet. Sometimes spontaneity is best.
