Eileen's Random Travels


A Photoblog post of my random travels.


On this post I am sharing some images from our walk on the Tommy Thompson Trail in Anacortes Washington. The trail follows the waterfront and is about 3.3 miles. We only did a small section and we saw a few ducks nearby. It was a dreary moody sky day so the photos are not as beautiful as I would like. But, I wanted to record our walk and visit to this area.





Looks like recycled materials used in this artwork.


A view of the Fidalgo Bay


The rocky causeway trail


The views were somewhat industrial and a field of cattle.



A Common Merganser on the shore.





I am sharing some of my random travel photos, this is not only for my followers but more of a reminder for me and my hubby of where we have been and what we have seen over the years. All good memories for us, I hope you enjoy too.

I hope you enjoyed! Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day!

  1. at first i thought the art looks like a mish mash, then i read the sign that says Public Art, please add to it and it makes perfect sense. art by everyone. plus it takes up trash off the park.

    I spotted some merganzer recently - first time in ages! Love that public art; I would so be adding my little 'found item' to it. What a great idea. Hope you are staying warm. YAM xx

    1. Yes, it was a weird spot for the cattle. With the bay, the train tracks, the cattle and then the huge tanks. Thanks, enjoy your day and new week!
