These photos are some of my favorites. Some are personal and some are just amazing natural sights. Keep in mind that since I have had to reduce the photo sizes of some for this blog the quality may not be as good as the original. If you would like to see some of my more recent shots click on my Flickr widget on the side bar.

Beautiful conglomeration of the highlights of nature. Once having lived there, your site brings it all back to reassure me that this beautiful part of the U.S. still exists. May it always. Thank you for sharing this work that was well organized.

WOW…You have an incredible talent for capturing the “emotion of the scene” Anne. I could hear, smell and feel the details in your photos! I was looking for information about where to go with my kids for low tide today and came across your blog…thank you for sharing your images…I will be a regular visitor!
Where is Lake Cassidy?
June 23, 2008 at 11:25 am
Thanks for your compliments Catherine!
Lake Cassidy is between Lake Stevens and Marysville on Hwy 9. After you go through Frontier Village (on Hwy 9) you will pass E. Sunnyside School Rd/42nd st. The next road is 60th st./Lake Cassidy Rd. Turn right and you will drive right to the lake. There is a small beach with a parking area. It’s mostly residental, but it sure is pretty with a great view of Mt. Pilchuck. Perfect for sunrises and boating!
