Went to Coupeville this evening to attend a talk by photographer Sam Abell. That's him on the left, below. He worked for National Geographic for over 30 years, getting on the cover 3 times. He has been teaching a week-long workshop at the Coupeville Arts Center 13 years, and gives a talk each time.

He was very entertaining, and showed a lot of his awesome photos, and talked about how he took the photos and what was right about them, and what was wrong. I really enjoyed it!

Afterwards, a little bit of sunset color over Penn Cove.

Apollo sitting on the deck railing. From my view on the ground below, it looks like he is sitting on the roof of the house! He soon hopped down and came down the stairs to join me.

It's Fair Time! Cathi and I submitted our photos and other art and craft entries, then walked to Langley and had pizza at Village Pizzeria, sitting in the new dining area overlooking the Passage.

 Paul Howard stopped by to show us his train cooker, which he recently had repainted and spruced up.

 He had the back part enclosed for more cooking space, and the painter added traveling scenery, along with gold accents and painted rivets that look real!

He has moved to Seattle and is hoping to get the catering and rentals going again. It looks great, and he has added lights and train sounds, as well.
