Photo of the Day: Pregnant Doe?
Posted on 08 May 2013.
It’s that time of year again when our resident black-tailed deer (a subspecies of mule deer) give birth. Typically through May and into June does birth one or two spotted fawns. This doe in the Battle Point Park area looks like she may be pregnant. Since she is not bulging at the middle, she may…

Photos of the Day: Weekend on the Water
Posted on 05 May 2013.
The sun just keeps shining, and that means boaters are out reveling in sea, sky, and sweet breeze. Islanders took advantage of good winds on a high tide off Point Monroe on Saturday, May 4. Bainbridge Island photographer Joe Michael captured these shots of sailboats, a tour boat, container ships, a wind surfer, and speed boats yesterday sweeping around…

Photo of the Day: Existential Anxiety on Miller Road
Posted on 02 May 2013.
As cars wheeled north on Miller Road today all appeared well. The sun shined. The trees stood hushed in peace, undisturbed by wind or wayward weather. And yet one thing stood strangely out of sync. What did it mean, the sign with no message, the “unsign”? What was it saying—the oxymoronic “blank statement,” a statement…

Video of the Day: Whirligig Redux
Posted on 06 April 2013.
We featured this ingenius whirligig as a Bainbridge Island Yard Art of the Week in photos last month (see the full sculpture here). But this impressive gizmo was made for moving, on blustery days like we’re having now. Here it is in motion, with parts big and small rotating every which way (take a look…

Photo of the Day: Baby Birds in Knitted Nest?
Posted on 27 March 2013.
Okay you knitters, we knew you had been busy by the sheer volume of people who have read and continue to read the knitting article we published last week.

Photos of the Day: Snowy Spring Blooms . . . Waz up?
Posted on 22 March 2013.
It sure is a weird weather week. Hail, wind, sun, rain, thunder, lightning, snow—you name it, we’ve seen it, changing it seems by the hour. By late March we’re usually well into the 50s and certainly not seeing snow on our flowers. Hang in there baby blossoms! Thanks nature photographer and writer Leigh Calvez for…

Photos of the Day: Squirrel Mom?
Posted on 12 March 2013.
Bainbridge Islander Kathy Haskin shared this photograph taken on her deck. She said, “Having purchased a variety of herb plants this weekend, I was excited to wake the culinary garden for the season. Unfortunately someone else had alternate plans for Mom’s Garden.” Perhaps this Douglas squirrel too is a mom and interpreted the sign accordingly….

Photos of the Week: Inappropriate Parking at Battle Point Park
Posted on 06 March 2013.
For the love of orange juice, no one, least of all handicapped people, should have to park under these conditions. We urge our Park District to conduct a costly study to review how this parking spot was selected and why proper access was not provided. We expect safe and accessible parking at our parks, compliant…

Photo of the Week: Bold Optimist
Posted on 04 February 2013.
This perfect peach rose decided to open itself to the elements early, just as February arrived and warmer temperatures breezed in. From the look of the opening bud in the background, there is more blossoming soon to come. Bainbridge Island nature photographer Leigh Calvez, who took the photo, said, “I noticed this rose blooming in…

This pair of eagles came to blows apparently over a fish. The darker eagle is a juvenile, without its adult plumage, which develops at about 4-5 years of age. The younger eagle was catching a fish when it was assaulted by the older eagle, who apparently wanted to take its catch, which was dropped. The…

This series of photos taken near Agate Pass shows a Bainbridge resident using a creative way to get a meal. Thanks Joe Michael for sharing these shots of a clever gull getting to the meat of the matter. The crows in some Island neighborhoods drop shells onto the streets for cars to crack them.

Photo of the Week: Presidential Inauguration Photage
Posted on 21 January 2013.
President Obama’s ceremonial swearing in as our 44th president (for his second term) had a slight hiccup today when civil rights leader Myrlie Evers-Williams, who delivered the inaugural prayer, mistakenly called him our 45th president. Obama had already been sworn in the day before, in a private ceremony with his family, because, per the Constitution,…

Photos of the Day: Humming- birds Brace Against the Cold
Posted on 11 January 2013.
The evolutionary brilliance of feathers is they huff and they puff and they fluff up against the cold. Here are some poofy shots of a male Anna’s hummingbird taken on this cold day by Island nature writer and photographer Leigh Calvez. Calvez says, “Remember to refill your hummingbird feeders in this cold weather. These little guys…

Photos of the Week: Hidden Cairn
Posted on 07 January 2013.
6 a.m. This elaborate set of cairns on a large rock on a secondary trail in Bainbridge Island’s Grand Forest is a delight to discover. And this writer is not about to reveal its exact location. Hikers know that cairns mark trails but also sometimes become statements in their own right. This family of cairns…
