In 2007, Creighton and I spirited ourselves away to Orcas Island, for the week of Thanksgiving.  Although I missed being with family, the quiet solitude was healing.  In summer the Ferries teem with people from all walks of life and many nations, the car decks are stuffed with autos of every variety, old VW Vans, RV’s pulling boats, families, dogs, bicycle campers, the works.  In November, it was quite a different scene.  The photos I took tell the story.
