mukilteo lighthouse in the late afternoon

Mukilteo

Just a quick post here to test how this is going to work.

A few weeks ago, we had a nice sunny day, so I decided to go down to Mukilteo waterfront to take some photos. The light was great, but the beach was really crowded, so I didn’t spend as much time there as I’d have liked.

Walking past the lighthouse to the ferry terminal, I saw a great blue heron perched on a dock railing. I only had a 200mm lens with me, so I couldn’t get as close as I would have liked, but it did stay still for a bit, even as the ferry pulled in behind it.

Just as I got close enough to get some good detail, it decided to fly off down the waterfront.  I decided to wait for the ferry to pull out again, and stole a quick pic as it headed towards Whidbey Island.
