Golden Hour at Padden Lagoon

It was yet another glorious Indian Summer day, and we spent it indoors packing for our trip. I finally ventured out just before sunset to get some small bills from the ATM in Fairhaven. I was just in time to grab this shot of the small lagoon where Padden Creek mingles with the salt water of Bellingham Bay.

If you prefer a brighter palette, this scene at the Community Boating Center will be more to your taste.
